Ok, so I recently just had an idea for a sin build. I put it together and tested it out in AB, and I found that it acctually worked quite well, with a few errors. And here it is:

[build=OwZjgod7oOdD9HRrM7/SYKMEGA]
That with Shocking daggers of fortitude, and a +5 energy inscription. Dagger mask, and a minor critical strike rune, rune of superior vigor, and the rest radiant/attune. This gives 44 energy, which means you can easily spike from 3-8 several times.

Basically, I thought that Ride the Lightning would be a different elite to put in there, it's a shadowstep that also deals damage. Even though it causes exhaustion, it doesn't really make the build any worse, unless your over-use it in a small space of time. If you maintain conjure lightning constantly, then you have +15 damage, and an unblockable lead attack + unblockable off-hand that removes a stance. Has a KD + poison, and a deep wound. It doesn't have an IMS, but that can be sorted out by swapping critical eye for dash, but unfortunately I don't know of any IAS that could be added in there, though it doesn't effect the build overall too much. Another variant is:
[build=OwZjgod7oOdD9HRrMT8TYKM+HA]

Pretty much the same, except swapped out the unblockable off-hand, and twisting fangs. This pretty much does the same thing, just not guarenteed to be able to use the whole spike.
Tell me what you think of it, and maybe some different combonations of skills.

Thanks in advance

for the 2nd build you have BoS but you have 2 short recharging attacks. if you want to make full use of it take at least a longer recharging lead like [golden lotus strike] or [leaping mantis sting].

[leaping mantis sting][jungle strike]

I made a similar build long ago, but it uses E/A instead of A/E. You can't really run it on A/E because you might lose too much damage as it doesn't rely on attack skill damage purely, moreso screwing them over. There are a few variants depending on what you want.
