Compared to a Meobius build:
Good: 0 Block, high crit rate (46%), self condition removal, enchantment removal.
Bad: Lower spike, lower dps in general, no interrupts or KD.
Thoughts? Which would you choose for your team? Which is more effective?
HA comparing Shattering assault to Moebius.

if you fix your Shattering Assault Sin I'd use that, it can be the most devastating Sin, even more than SP due to its ability to just remove enchantments, leaving someone open for your team's assault while you just switch a target.
fixed required:
Impale, now with the new nerf its no longer the DW of choice for many Sins. although its still usable.
Assassins's Remedy is Meh... ideally you can use it to remove Blind with perhaps failed attacks? does it work?
Siphon Speed is totaly unneeded... non of your skills require a hex to function and its just remove bait. you need a better anti kiting option.
actually this is more from a serious PvP's prespective, I guess it's still excellent in lower PvP areas such as RA, HB and not to mention AB and Aspenwood.
Critical Eye is Meh... not sure how it really affects your energy and damage...
perhaps bring Gale/Shock instead of Siphon Speed and some realy utility instead of Critical Eye.
also you either need a shadowstep or a speed boost, Siphon Speed just doesnt cut it unless you're in a hex team...
as for the Moebius Sin, which of them? there isnt 1 build using Moebius there are many...

Assassins's Remedy removes before the attack hits. If you are blind, you will be unblinded by the time your attack hits. Critical Eye increases chances of crit, therefore, more damage, more energy from the critical hit and more energy from critical eye. I guess Dash could be used instead of Siphon. I prefer Impale for the spike chain. Golden Fang is blockable and Twisted requires an offhand making it unable to follow Shattering. It is also blockable. The main advantage to a shattering build is everything is unblockable.
Hmm for the Moebius, maybe:

well done dude, you know how to make builds... go /w and take rush, at 4 adrenaline it's like a permanent speed boost and one less energy skill on your bar to worry about
yea the shattersin is more useful since you can train targets with other melee (moebius/wars/thumpers) and keep em naked as you whack em.

siphon speed cuz you have to walk up to your (probably kiting) target and hit it with black mantis.
black mantis cuz he wants to kd with trampling. not essential, id just go straight to blossom, but to each his own (as long as it doesnt suck).

probably copy-paste from a buildprogram as gwfreaks. You have to choose a secondary there.
As for the SA sin, common, but ok. I personally prefer [skill]fox fangs[/skill] over [skill]Wild Strike[/skill], but that's up to you

Why Fox Fangs over Wild Strike? Its recharge is twice as long and it does less bonus damage. Is the recharge really worth the 1/2 second activation?
Sir Pandra Pierva
on top of removing stances?
Jaigoda
Fox Fangs should be a 6s recharge... or at least make it have an added effect.

Thanks! I forgot about that. I now believe I have sufficient reasons to say:
Fox Fangs is useless.
