Sorry i forgot that BLS is now a lead....but still, id like your advice on playing Moebius.

Hmmm....seeing as Impale is 1 sec cast...I wouldn't use it right now. It used to be better in ms/db builds than TF...
You could still go hex-bls-exhausting-moebius-db if you want to, or, drop hex and bls for leaping mantis sting. You probably want Fear Me! instead of TF or Hoto.

Ekelon, that's my exact GvG build. I haven't played HA, but I'd imagine it would work fine there too, so I'd recommend the OP to go with what you posted.
Your Tactics is weird though. 6+1=7, not 8. And a 'sin primary can't have a Tactics rune. It's easily understandable that you just mean 8, but I thought I'd point it out anyways so nobody else picks up on it.

Hey thanks guys. Adding fear me sounds like a good idea. However I do want deepwound in there somewhere. Its hard to squish everything in. In general, I would be attacking the harder armoured targets right? Or does it matter? And if flurry supposed to be up at all times?
ensoriki
The builds they posted are better for soft targets as the base damage from your daggers is not subtracted as much.

Nobody thought to mention that BLS is now a lead attack and, since his build doesn't have any offhands, he won't be able to access the majority of his bar?

I commented in the first post....right at the bottom.

Yeah... I'm a genius.
Anyways, off the top, Horns of the Ox does +10, not +29. If you're going for a Horns lock, then I'd keep it because I like it. Otherwise, maybe consider BSS for your offhand and bring Critical Strike?
I'll probably be shouted down as an idiot for even suggesting it, but I'm just thinking about it. Something like Siphon - BSS - TF - Moebius - Critical and then go from there?

Once you activate Deep wound, Repeating Strike is better than twisting fangs for DPS.
Twisting fangs even with moebius = +21 damage x2 =42 damage for 10 energy.
And you get 2 energy back from Zealous = 8 energy spent really.
if your target already has gotten fanged then
Repeating ftw
Repeating is 31 damage for 5 energy using it twice (with flurry) = +61 for 10 energy and you get 2 energy back for using it twice = same energy spent, More damage back.
Twisting fangs is a 1 hit pony, once you've used it, Its kinda lame >.> And energy draining.
You can get like 2 repeating strikes while moebius is recharging (with 2 second recharge), hit Critical Strike for energy back then Moebius again, refresh twisting as needed =P
lets see
BSS+Critical strike+moebius+twisting = decent damage, but then Twisting and BSS become an energy waste, while repeating Critical Strike and Moebius give you better DPS, and better damage per energy spent.
But who cares about the math right?
In pvp pretty much every damage spent matters right?
Its just an alternate to Moebius DB =P
DB = 80+ armor ignoring damage (from 2 strikes), and theres still a 1 second delay before you moebius recharges leaving you with an auto attack, Repeating strike would've faired better than an auto attack right?
So if you ran
Siohon, BSS,Critical strike,Moebius,DB, Repeating. Flurry
You run through the combo straight to DB, theres a second before moebius recharges.
Which do you want more? Repeating that will give you the +31 damage on top of the base damage of your dagger, Or just the base damage of your dagger, which is already weaker from flurry?
And doesn't interrupt your chain to do so, or wait the 1 second, and do a crappy auto attack in between which could've been a nice chunk of hp loss for the enemy.
scenario
moebius, DB,Repeating,Critical Strike,Moebius DB
Or if your going Moebius Twisting fangs and you have moebius
You should never use Twisting fangs again if you have repeating strike on your bar as its higher damage per energy spent.
Thus repeating strike isn't Lol >.>

Palm Strike,Repeating Strike,Mark of Pain,Critical defenses =P

palm strike is 75 (lets say) damage (Armor ignoring, goes through prot spirit)

repeating strike has no down time, instantly used with an ias, so you can spam it like an auto attack =P)

rawr 310+ ( so like 400 damage and then Palm strike) in 10 seconds.

33% IAS? Assuming no double strikes (and with only Repeating Strike, there shouldn't be any), that number should be 8/9ths of a second (0.88888.. you get the point).
Then again, your per minute damage is way off.

You do what an Assassin does if his mission fails. Siphon Speed and run the hell away! If they follow you, you just might be able to pull off a bull's and continue with the combo.
Hyprodimus Prime
Ya gwfreaks is messed up, they invert a lot of the numbers, I just export and paste. But you just need one bulls strike to get into the moebius chain, as soon as the guy moves, KD for energy. And the nice thing about bull's strike is that it doesnt interfere with the combo. So you can try bull's again if you want, if you fail, no worries (loss of energy) but you can still continue your MS/DB combo.
Coloneh
I think bulls strike is to nunreliable to base your entire chain off of. could go with shock or something.

I count the spike from when the damage actually hits, there are 3 intervals and add another .125s for each of the second dual attack strikes. 3 x 1.33 x .66 + 2 x 1.25 = 2.8834

I would've thought you'd count from when the character starts attacking, because that time can be used for protting/kiting/etc, as well as the time you take to go melee (unless you shadow step of course).
Thus why I'm taking it as ~3.55 seconds (two duals might increase that number a bit, but no more than 4 seconds).

'Fear Me!' is only useful if you build around it. That means a higher Tactics attr., FGJ!, Locust's Fury, Flurry ----> auto-attacking. Lacks greatly in the damage department though.
As an avid A/W, I've found [skill]Distracting Blow[/skill] to combine with a Moebius Blossom spam build very well, though it requires excellent timing. The main thing to keep in mind here is that any Moebius Blossom spam build excels in pressure damage rather than on quick kills. This means you're going to be at a target longer than yer average SP Sin, and hence will draw more attention to yourself. You need some guaranteed monking back-up or *gulp* bring a self-heal. As an A/W, Restful Breeze is a no-no... damn shame. Here's what I ended up with for AB and RA... (EDIT: in RA, Shadow Walk = Rez sig) CS 12+1 DM 11+1+1 SA 6 [skill]Leaping mantis sting[/skill][skill]exhausting assault[/skill][skill]moebius strike[/skill][skill]distracting blow[/skill][skill]death blossom[/skill][skill]Shadow Refuge[/skill][skill]shadow walk[/skill][skill]dash[/skill] I like Dash but I guess you could put in Dark Escape. SW-Dash has been so good to me I wanted to hang on to it, though SW and Shadow Refuge definitely lack synergy. Then again, I often find myself just going Dash-LMS... while Refuge is kinda bad it's the best thing available for an aggressive A/W. Really this build is just a variant of the Moebius Breeze sin. How Horns of the Ox compares to Distracting Blow is debatable after HotO's huge nerf. However there's no doubt Restful Breeze is a lot better than Shadow Refuge... You wouldn't believe the **** I can pull off with Siphon Speed-Breeze  That's DEFINITELY a route to consider!

How are you gonna get a target below 50% with only duals like Exhausting and HotO?
