Default is anyone getting sick of...

Critical Agility - Critical Defenses - Death Blossom - Moebius Strike.

anyone starting to get sick of this combo, i some times play it if it adds to the teams success but im guessing that 8/10 of assassin use this build most of the time. I seems that pugs expect you to be running this build, if you dont you get the old sin hate. I could promise this is going to be hit so hard with a nerf bat it will be unrecognizable.

Sooner that happends the better.

Whats your opinion of this build whether you love or hate.

lets keep it flame free

Critical Agility + Critical Defense go very well together... throw in Critcal eye and well... yea. Moebius and DB can be replaced but it's just THAT useful in PvE. And I doubt ANet will nerf one of the most effective assassin combinations based on PvE.

Wait, wait... you're pissed that Assassins are using the strongest build available to them?

I wished I could be pissed every Warrior was spamming Dragon Slash and "Save Yourselves!"

Indeed. No matter how much I curse at them, those darn Wars and Paras just won't remove SY! from their bar! OUTRAGEOUS!

that's just how this game is designed man. It's like the real world, you have your powerful few that are in control and the rest of us are useless.

In other words, do I have a problem with a set of skills that allows for the following:
- Constant 33% IAS
- Constant 75% blocking
- Quality AoE DPS

No, I don't have a problem with that at all. There are other builds that can be run in PvE, and they'll certainly be viable, but this build just kicks ass and chews bubble gum.

It's like being mad because your job pays you so well or something. I don't understand the problem.

I use Way of the Assassin in Pve because my attack chain is unblockable except for my dual which I am only meant to remove stances from the end boss... Stupid Insectoid Scythe won't drop....

I find any build gets boring / samey if I overplay it - but I have no problem with other players using it...why should I? It's not as though Critical Agility can be misused outside of PvE.

Poor little Slashalot.
Have the Moebius DB sins made your Warrior redundant?


Hear that sound?
That is the world's smallest violin... playing just for you.

As for me? I'll just stick with my Critical Moebius Death-Blossom spamming, because.... y'know what? ... That build is sex.

I seen post with people asking for build help and people just telling them to use this one like its the only build of there. Im not saying it a bad build but does every assassin in the game have to use it and its not every Warrior uses Dragon Slash/SY.

I've never used it. I'd rather do a solo kill in 3-5 secs than spamming db on a group. However, I may have to when I start vanquishing Cantha . Damn expel hexes.

I use:
Critical Agility - Assassins Promise - Dark Prison [or expose defenses, depends on where I'm at] - Black Lotus - Twisting - Black Spider - Blades of Steel - Any type of rez

It's incredibly efficient. However, I'm sure it's gonna be picked to death by "pve elitests" [lmao].

Critical Agility
GPS --> DB --> Moebius --> TF --> HotO --> CS --> Rez

Run that build with Zealous or Vampiric 15^50 daggers. Good times.

Happy? You don't have to spam DB at all. You can deep wound, knock down, energy management... everything you need. Plus a rez, unless you don't want a rez, in which case you could throw Way of Perfection on there to try to give your monks some relief.
