MoI--->BSS--->TF--->FLS--->HotO--->MS was my main till it got popular.

Seeing way more hex removal around than I used too.

Now I'm working on a Temple Strike build instead.

I still use Leaping-Exhausting-Moebius-Blossom, mostly. HotO used to be 5th but the damage is so laughable compared to what it used to be I went A/W for Distracting Blow to keep my precious shut-down. It's actually doing quite a good job; what with Moebius cheating the recharge and all Interrupting i/o KD, w/e ANet

On top of it when people see A/W they go 'help it's an SP Sin' and that's always funny

my pre-nf combo is still decent:

dash-leaping mantis-temple strike-twisting fangs
and add lotus strike (gw:en alternate offhand for energy while temple strike is cooling)

interrupting at the same time as KD is redundant, methinks

14 dagger, 13 crit, 8 wind
its what i've been using in AB recently, whirling charge is your IAS. works out well.

i've also been using the grenths grasp build, still works well just a little less damage than before. thats been the extent of sin builds in pvp, my pve build wasn't changed at all.

EDIT: on a side note.. are they EVER going to put the skills from GWEN into the little skill icon thingy?

Ok so it's solely about interrupting? Ranger FTW? There's no beginning as to how much the build would improve if you'd just cycle out DD for an offhand to replace TS when it's down.
