Wild Strike is now unblockable no longer need to use expose on stances for sins. Just put your input.

Edit: Fixed my stupid mistake.

Is it?

New change today or something?
I was unaware of it being so..... Guess I'll have to check later when I can access the updates page from home.

But this will certainly make fighting rangers easier. Good stuff.

Yes, from the update yesterday. Brilliant, but a bit late. Great recharge on such an attack too. But lead attacks got buffs all around (one causes 5..20 sec bleeding now).

Could someone inform me of all the Assassin buffs (and nerfs) here?
I can't access the Guild Wars site from work to see them myself.

I lol'ed at unsuspecting strike.

It implies you switch target because if you use it once on a target, he will be <90%, and losing your bonus damage. It recharges in 2 seconds so you should have switch targets by then! For a whopping 10 energy!

I had some success toying with builds like this
[skill]golden fox strike[/skill][skill]wild strike[/skill][skill]shattering assault[/skill][skill]way of perfection[/skill]
I added critical eye for energy, rush and caltrops but could have use anything else.
It is interesting, but still lack the ganking powa of the SP sin IMO. Maybe could see use for enchant-bane in spikes.

Yes, if the ranger is totally bad and has never heard of distracting shot.

Way of Perfection now has a .25 second cast time and lasts 60 seconds. That doesn't provide the aforementioned ranger with much opportunity to interrupt the cast.

Oh yeah, dis shot on totally unexpecting sin- must be pretty stu, erm, the kind of sin that mindlessly hits Falling Spider even though HoTO didn't KD >_>.
Are we in the 'nuh-huh, because ranger could, like, go and dis shot him' and 'nuh-huh, because A would be running Crit Defenses!' territory?

Anyway, Golden Fox Strike > Wild Strike > Shattering Assault - lil' Grenth? ~~

I really like how sins got extremely buffed after this update. Even when adding in the previous "nerfs" (which aren't even nerfs...all they did was make SP less overpowered), 99% of PvE sins are better off now. Good direction anet is going towards.

i agree with what others said, the unsuspecting strike buff is retarded... why would you hit & switch targets as a sin? it defeats the whole purpose of a sin. Anyways, leave the recharge at 4 secs. 2 secs seems worthless since there are no 2 sec offhands. If they want to buff it they should make it cost 5 energy instead of 10.

I've had a lot of success with the following Build
[skill]Golden Fox Strike[/skill][skill]Wild Strike[/skill][skill]Death Blossom[/skill][skill]Moebius Strike[/skill][skill]"Go For The Eyes"[/skill][skill]Critical Eye[/skill][skill]Critical Agility[/skill][skill]Critical Defenses[/skill]

Remember GFS has a recast time of 4, and WS is unblockable. Guru should really update their database.
