Curse

It's a long way off. I recently rolled a sin and plan to progress fairly quickly, but what kind of bar should I use till I pick up Moebius?

btw my Moebius bar will look like-

Golden Pheonix Strike
Death Blossom
Moebius Strike
Critical Strike
Critical Defenses
Critical Agility
Critical Eye

12+1+2 Dagger
12+1 Crit

how is it?

Anyho, till you get Moebius, just stick to a short-recharge Lead-Offhand-Dual combo you can spam...

Try Golden Fox --> Wild Strike --> Death Blossom

It's 2 a.m. here but anyway..

i'm using Jagged->Fox Fangs->DB->Goldden Pheonix-> Twisting Fangs

but tht combo sounds good, all i need to do is unlock a few enchants :P

Palm Strike is a good lead skip that's in Bukdek Byway. Will do more damage than other lead skips and can't be blocked or even miss since it's a touch. Plus it'll give you an elite skill on your bar and save room for two duals.

So...any comments on the moebius build?

Keekles · Mar 08, 2008, 10:56 AM // 10:56

The moebius build looks fine to me. Pretty much what I run.

except I'm 12+1+1 dagger, 12+1 crit

Also: Zealous Daggers are helpful with this build.

I just don't see howw to get zealous daggs short of beating a campain, i might go to EoTN once i get Moebius...

Buy 'em! If a few k is too much for you, I probably have a spare set sitting around you can have.

The difference between a Moebius Sin and a non-Moebius Sin:

Sustained DPS pressure.

Without Moebius there's no real incentive for you to stay in combat. Short of buying a Tome for it, I suggest shifting your focus to the more 'traditional' Sin task eg spiking down key targets one after another. We're thinking Shadow Steps combined with heavier spike damage here - preferably with a built-in way out.

If you've reached Kaineng already it's but a short run to Xuekao... from which Assassin's Promise can be capped. AP is widely considered to be the 2nd-most powerful PvE Sin Elite after Moebius, and allows for gratuitous use of powerful attacks like Twisting Fangs - the recharge of it would otherwise be a significant downside in PvE.

Go get 'em.

I actualy did get to Kaineng recently. I capped palm strike as some1 had suggested but haven't had a chance to try it, i'll go grab Assassin's Promise.

and Tain about that spare zealous, it would help a lot.

Buy an elite assasin tome, best solution imo.

Dras · Mar 09, 2008, 09:11 PM // 21:11

How much do elite Sin tomes run for?

I've seen them go as low as 2k fairly often.
I'd rather shell out 2k that have to drag my ass all the way through the bloody Factions campaign
