Hi guys i'm a noob and planning to buy GW:Factions and i've been researching for a PVE and a PVP build but most of them requires NightFall.

Can you guys suggest me a good attr/skill pvp and pve build which is only Faction Based? Thanks.

if you are only buying one game make it prophecies. Factions and Nightfall dont have an introduction to the game. also prophecies has the most basic usable skills.

Here is a basic build:

Unsuspecting Strike
Fox Fangs
Twisted Fangs
Mobeius Strike (e)
Signet of Malice
Return
Shadow Refuge
Rez Signet

Most 'sin builds work pretty well without NF skills. I honestly haven't logged on my friend's sin in a while, but my friend only had factions, and his Death Blossom Spammer was better then an Ele sometimes.

or this

The Golden phoenix builds are somewhat better than the Black offhand builds because you have a way to get away without using up a skill slot for return or something.

Mind you they do less damage, but at least every attack attempt is not a suicide one too.

I used to use:
unsuspecting strike
Fox fangs
twisting fangs
Live vicariously
Critical defences
Critical eye
Random skill here. Shadow step or w/e
Res sig

Used golden phoenix strike build that was mentioned earlier
That was until I capped moebious strike then I switched to
Golden phoenix
Twisting fangs
moebious strike {E}
Death blossom
Live vicariously/vigourous spirit
Critical defences
Critical eye
Res sig/hard res

All of these skills ARE FACTIONS ( live vicariously and vigourous spirit r either core or prophecies can't remember )

most of the time in all PvE i run my A/R assassins promise/lightening reflex build. it uses all faction skills if i remember right and is highly affective with great dmg. if u want help and a walk through of diffrent build i use for PvE and PvP contact me in game.

most of my PvP builds are centered around heavy dmg spike, such as shadow prison varients, mobious, and i also run 1 palm strike build occassionally, also with the right team build there is a nice locust fury/splinter build, with a degen necro, air spike ele, and shutdown mesmer that my guild runs.

Unsuspecting, Fox Fangs, and Twisting Fangs will hold you out for a while as your basic PvE, just don't do it in PvP.. When I got 20 I basically used that combo for the last time.
