Well the name almosts explains it. The Super Shutdown Sin (SSS

) prevents the enemy from casting almost any spell/skill.

What you need

A zealous bow, Chkkr's Flatbow does very nicely
16 Critical Strikes
12 Marksmanship

The skills

[card]Way of the Assassin[/card]Way of the Master[card]Critical Eye[/card][card]Critical Defenses[/card]Critical Agility[card]Disrupting Accuracy[/card][card]Keen Arrow[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]

If you want more interrupt, go with Called Shot, but I stick to damage with Focused Shot.
-The Zealous Bow will give +5 energy each hit with the other skills.
-Way of the Assassin (+37%) +Way of the Master (+35%) +Critical Eye (+16%+16% (32% from critical strikes)) = 100% Critical.
-Critical Agility you attack 33% faster, for fast interrupts and damage.
-Critical Defences is for reducing damage, every critical hit refreshes the enchantment.
-Disrupting Accuracy is for interrupting.
-Keen Shot is for lots of damage.
Edit: Subs - [card]Favorable Winds[/card]

EDIT: I tested my secondary build in PvP, PvE Comming soon!

Had some trouble.

It was a very close match.

Now it's Master of Axes turn.

Wasn't as close, but it was annoying.

Master of Interrupts was easy.

Kill it with plenty of Health
(Lost Master of E-Denial pictures, but I killed him)
I lost to Master of Lightning, Master of Hexes and Master of Spirits (Vengeful weapon killed me) and unable to kill the Monk Masters.

This is my Dazed build.
Way of the Master[card]Critical Eye[/card][card]Broad Head Arrow[/card]Rapid Fire or Critical Agility [card]Keen Arrow[/card][card]Critical Defenses[/card][card]Favorable Winds[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]

Master of Hexes died fast.
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/446...dazed12gp5.jpg
Master of E-Denial died faster.
http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9...dazed13cp9.jpg
Master of Lightning went down fast, I did serious shutdown. I didn't take any damage!
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4...dazed16ff9.jpg
Master of Hammers was OK, but he went down.
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3...dazed17no9.jpg
I killed him, took longer than I wanted.
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4...dazed23zx2.jpg
Master of Spirits was harder, with his vengeful weapon.
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3...dazed25kh5.jpg
It was hard, but I killed him.
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/7...dazed26as9.jpg
Master of interrupts was harder due that he has no spells.

I almost killed the master of Enchantments, she got lucky. I killed every master but the Monk Masters and the Master of Axes (I couldn't interrupt heal sig). The fight lasted against the remaining 3 forever, and ever. So I got bored left.

It works great, it works very well in PvP, still gotta test the second build it in PvE.

These pictures are off topic, but I have to show these, I love glitches!

Not too bad of an idea.

John Panda · Oct 02, 2007, 03:17 AM // 03:17

my friend used it on me when i was monking..

if the arrow hits you while he has his prep up you get interrupted .

Sir Pandra Pierva · Oct 02, 2007, 03:20 AM // 03:20

in only you could work daze into the build, maybey you have but I don't think so. With daze on top of arrow barraging in just mean

Coloneh · Oct 02, 2007, 04:49 AM // 04:49

nothing new here.

Yanman.be · Oct 02, 2007, 05:34 AM // 05:34

Where would you use this? Coz if you're interrupting...GG if you take flatbows...

MercenaryK · Oct 02, 2007, 04:56 PM // 16:56

It needs Spirit of Favorable Winds and Read the Wind if you want to ensure fast interruptions with constant attacks; and in PvP you can't use Critical Agility, so there can be a substitute along with Focused Shot in exchange for Heket's Rampage for your IAS which will be needed.

It should be about interruption rather than damage; your crits would supply decent enough damage I'd imagine and with all that +% to crit that's covered.

~_~

Oh, this is meant for PvE right? Then C.Agility stays, but remove bow attacks for Read the Wind and Spirit of Favorable Winds.

sussuara · Oct 02, 2007, 05:33 PM // 17:33

huh

glountz · Oct 02, 2007, 05:43 PM // 17:43

For PvP use Quickshot/Needle shot for fast interrupt.
Inferior Imho to a competent Ranger that knows what he's doing with his Diversion/Savage shot/BHA, or any dagger sin buffed with a warmonger weapon.
But hey, it's a nice alternate build.

You can't use Read the Wind, Disrupting Accuracy is also a prep... and like you say, the main purpose of this build is interrupting (although Keen Arrow would do a lot of damage).

Then use favorable winds.

D'oh! Must have went over my head when I was typing my post.

Flatbows have a good rate of fire, but the long arc.
That doesn't matter much though as timing isn't really critical in this build. The point is to just keep interrupting over and over and over again... and assuming you're firing constantly then there will be a constant stream of interrupts flying toward the target. Accuracy is the only real issue.... and PvE squishies tend not to move around that much (especially not while casting).

Needling Shot IS needed, though it does have the awkward condition of only insta-recharging at under 50% health (try firing at a monk trying to self-heal for instant lawlz). There just isn't any beating it for sheer arrow magnitude.

Now I think about it though.... Needling Shot limits the damage done to the enemy... so does that mean it cannot Critical?

Zodiak · Oct 05, 2007, 02:42 PM // 14:42

This is an interesting concept, I will try it on my assassin. However, I dont know where you get your numbers, it should look more like this

+37%(way of the assassin)
+35%(way of the master)
+16%(critical eye)
+16%(critical strikes at 16)
+15.2%(marksmanship at 12)

37% + 35% + 16% + 16% + 15.2 = 119.2% to critical hit

It just seems to me that maybe one critical enhancing skill could be cut back for something else?

Keen Shot maybe, as suggested

moko · Oct 05, 2007, 03:04 PM // 15:04

drop the sup crit, there's no need for it.

flatbows are bad.

I just used a bow that was in storage. Infact, any bow will work. Thank you
for the info on the sup crit, any suggestions helps.

[card]Keen Arrow[/card] I love keen arrow, another good replacement for foused shot, but with focused shot I love the 2 seconds recharge! (with it being the only bow skill) One thing thats great about the build. Interrupt is awesome, another thing the damage is great to.

A combo with heros is a very good help, for example with Gwen (the hero, not game) casts [card]Frustration[/card] I've never seen boss go down so fast.

I was playing GWEN and my warrior was doing 5-15 damage on a level 24 necro (those ground crawling monsters) I'm easily killing them with 34 damage w/o a skill not to add the interrupt. Once again, try this build, add suggestions.

Emik · Oct 05, 2007, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Don't you think that a sin can do a lot more of interrupting when he's wielding daggers?
I can understand why you use a bow and all but it seems to me that should you be using daggers you can do it a lot better..
Correct me if I'm wrong of course 8))

Sadly the preparation (like most) are only for bows. "Whenever your arrows hit." I think it used to work on any weapon until a update quickly came up. I'll add pictures soon (If I could I would show a video)

Warmonger's Weapon/Thunderclap > This

Done it before..

Retribution X · Oct 05, 2007, 09:17 PM // 21:17

warmongers weapon + Assassin using daggers + Unblockability + IAS = Bad time for casters
