I use the PvP build without EotN skills, and it still isn't that great because I don't have EotN.

Can anyone suggest how to improve the build im going to use in PvP?

get rid of virulence ..

if you still like it, dump out the sup on dagger mastery, dump major crit strikes and maybe change out deadly arts, too much attribute spread
think of a feigned neutrality with 5-6 shadow arts and add some hex with bss

um why get rid of virulence even though this is a virulence build. And why get rid of sup dagger mastery and major crit strikes, then I won't have energy management.

Heres how

12 dagger mastery, 12 deadly arts
8 shadow arts

>.> All sin skills /N secondary

Shout Virulence whenever your attacking.

Makes the build so leet, its like 1000 Falcon punches.

~For PvE
Because there are other builds that can deal more damage in PVE. And why would I want a Sin (who already have crap armor for a frontliner) tp have -110 health with just 2 runes. This build has no self heal and no shadow step for hit-and-run. You will just end up draining the monk's energy.

~For PvP
Sneak Attack is a PvE only skill (same with Sunspear RB signet, but you can just use normal Rez signet), so even if you do have GWEN, you can't use it in PvP. Depending on what type of PvP you are playing, that build may be or may not be okay. If you are playing AB, having no self-heal is about the worst thing you can do besides charging into a mob. And here's a tip for PvP: Don't bring any major or sup runes (other than vigor, obviously) if you are going to the front line or is a monk.

But Major runes just reduce your health by -35 and sup by -75 and you can compensate the health loss with fortitude mods and/or survivor/vitae/vigor runes and insignias.

And there are good GWEN skills that involve conditions to inflict damage like Signet of Deadly Corruption

just don't use anything but minors -- aight?

Limit yourself to 1 or less Major runes.

Never use more than 1.
