A/W Double Ox Sin

I've been running this build below which is all attack skills but works damn well at killing anything in AB :P

Shadow prison>>black mantis thrust>>jungle strike>>trampling ox>>falling lotus strike>>horns of the ox>>falling spider>>twisting fangs 7-skill combo?
1 Lead,
3 Off-hands,
3 Dual-Attacks?

Are you completely nuts?
Do you have any idea how easy it would be to completely mess up that chain?
Not only that... but the various knockdowns are all but worthless if their own purpose is to lead to the condition-spreading at the end.

Shadow prison>>black mantis thrust>>jungle strike>>trampling ox>>falling lotus strike>>horns of the ox>>falling spider>>twisting fangs i lold. new meta. kills defy pain/endure hh wammos for sure!

There's so much more to playing a Sin than just 'the attack chain'... nor is there just the target to consider. When you can surprise an isolated opponent, good for you; but with decent attributes you don't need such a long chain to finish someone off in that case.

The reality, however, is that opponents who are aware of Sin activity in the area will not stray very far from the main body. On top of that, the longer the chain you use, the less slots you have left for utility skills. So what do you do when:

- No one strays from the mob to such an extent you dare not attack
- No one strays from the mob yet you attack boldly only to find yourself overwhelmed
- Some cheeky caster Blinds you

To me, being able to break off an attack run has become just as important as the attack chain itself. I don't see none of that, nothing to help you stay alive. Can hardly imagine this turning out to be very successful. Yes i realize all of this already. However i rarely run into problems no matter what build im using cause im always aware of whats going on and no i wont bum rush a mob alone i find shrines to cap or pick off people who are alone.

I guess i should of clarified more earlier when i said i was playing with builds, that means i dont worry so much about survival on my first attempt as just playing with different options and seeing what i like best.
The build itself turned into flurry>>shadow prison>>black mantis>>jungle strike>>trampling ox>>falling lotus>>twisting fangs and dash. This was just something i found very easy to run and yes no utility sucks but its AB how hard do you think NPC's are?

I rarely run builds for longer than a couple hours before im trying to come up with ideas for something else but theres just not many good options tbh.

Mending Touch will tear you apart. :'(

i like the idea and all but in theory good players would probably get rid of the snare before you can land with your black spider. (or other way, they remove the hax first) - so yes, i like it although it's pretty conditional, but i'll give it a try for sure when i'll get eotn. :P

i'd build around with leaping mantis as lead and other stuff with this rather than the black line with YAA as elite tho..

edit: while looking around..i noticed [skill]Hidden Caltrops[/skill] again..hmm...:P You don't have it? Well prepare for Dwarven Axe prices to crash.
