Aren't the aftercasts the same length?

Aren't the aftercasts the same length? shadow walk has no aftercast only a disable on all atk skills for 1 second. And in that one second you use shove thus bypassing the downside of the shadowstep. However with aftercast you cannot use any skills including shove.

shock still works as well if you don't mind the exhaustion for a quicker recharge and not taking the elite slot.

I've been just assing about and ended up using this for some reason... Not great but seemed to work somewhat ok in AB... especially if your target just has that little bit extra to survive. Just have to be extremely careful with exhaustion which is a pretty crappy.

[Shadow Walk][Shock][Falling Spider][Horns of the Ox][Falling Lotus Strike][Twisting Fangs][Moebius Strike]

After moebius back to horns of the ox and on you go again.

Can't blame myself. [shadow walk][grapple] is hilarious.

This build looks fun, but spiking only once every 30 secs seems kind of lame.

Shadowstepping out landing on your arse. Good stuff.

Build is gud for anything not really GvG. Only being able to spike an NPC every 20s sucks.

i used that build in byob. so actually DOES work in gvg.

its effectiveness is similar to an AoD shock assassin tbh; slightly better at surprise buttsecks on players because of the faster attack.

I find the Shove build slow... waiting 20 sec to recharge is a bit long esp for a sin and his dps... maybe add something to recharge it faster?

[shadow prison] has been 25s recharge for a while now and still sees play. Now alluvasudden 20sec chain recharge is a problem?

if you still want to get your instagib fix, try this:

[build prof=A/W dag=12+1+1 crit=12+1 tac=3][assassin's remedy][shove][falling lotus strike][twisting fangs][golden phoenix strike][blades of steel][shadow walk][dash][/build]

much better suited for gvg, since this build WILL instagib. used by mistral edge during the guru tourney.
