On the other hand we have Black Lotus Strike is an off-hand-atk and Golden Lotus Strike is an lead-atk, thats mean Phoenix can be an lead-atk also.

Don't u think Anet forget to add something to Phoenix?

Honestly no, I don't keep much enchantments on my Sin and my favorite snare is a hex so I'll stick with Black Spider.

I am so glad Black Spider came out though, Falling Spider pissed me off so much.

So both "miss while not ~whatever~" and "requires no lead-in" .... I'd imagine. The down and up of it.

i.e. a Black Phoenix Strike would be offhand too, but would miss unless the enemy was hexed. ^_^

If u said Phoenix is an off-hand-atk that doesn't require lead-atk, so can u explain me the Spider skill? Spider is also an off-hand-atk that doesn't require lead-atk and why Poison has Poison but Phoenix has nothing?

The reason it exists is because assassins are supposed to be "enchanted" with shadow arts skills. (thats if you choose that line)

Black Spider and Black Lotus follow the Deadly Art line. (hexs)

Because its much simplier to hex an enemy than to risk having enchantments (besides shadow form).

In other words, Golden Skills are meant to guarentee a hit if you are under an enchantment.
Id rather take the risk of possible small chance of missing, so i can inflict poison and other fun conditions.. and dont forget that lovely hex your enemy has

Have u ever know there are two skills called Black Lotus Strike and Golden Lotus Strike? Thats mean Phoenix doesn't have to use with Ench as long as there is a skill called Black Phoenix Strike , and Black Phoenix Strike will be used with hex-foe.
Before u post it , u need to know Black skill follows Hex and Golden follows Ench.

Don't confuse urself with [skill]Golden Phoenix Strike[/skill] and [skill]Golden Fox Strike[/skill], if u don't how the skill work then read the description clearly. Have u ever play Golden Phoenix Strike yet? Do you know y Golden Fox Strike can not be BLOCK, because it has a name FOX in it.
FOX = UNBLOCK
I think u might be play Shadow Prison too much and forget about Golden skill. And i know right now Shadow Prison>AoD.

If u had notice a little bit more before u answer here u will know it.
EVERY OFF-Hand-Atk and Dual-Atk will be miss if u don't meet the required.
The require Enchanted is not from Phoenix but it from Golden. It is similar to Black Spider Strike and Black Lotus Strike if u dont hit the hexed-foe this atk-skill will miss to hit the same GPS.
But these 2 skills BSS and BLS even better GPS because it wont recharge even if it miss to hit non-hexed-foe but GPS will recharge no matter this atk-skill miss when u r not have an enchanted on u.

WOW.




This thread is...meh, I don't even get the point if the OP thinks giving attitude to anyone trying to come up with a sensible answer is going to solve the 'ultimate question'.
