and no ensoriki, you're not a noob, and in fact, pretty impressive for a 14 year old. Ah, I forgot about having my age Displayed...maybe I should change that before Mokone and Moriz hit me with a bat.
mmm indeed im very impressive for a 14 year old if you mean impressive in a "how can they be that clueless" kinda way =P

Your right Yan, in a way they are shutdown
but Stances don't know the meaning of Shutdown.

I think mana works a little better than energy if you ask me
Since that would make Eles really spazmodic.<_<>_>

Also for a comment the build doesn't realyl work out that well cept in 1v1.

True I was testing it in RA and it wasn't working at all but my guildies love to 1v1 and it was owning them plus modded for 1v1 with shadowstep. lol no need for a rez. So could it could work in AB but then again almost anything works in AB

Didnt read all the posts so I dont know if this was mentioned...

MoI can be cast to make Trampling KD without cripple, or HotO KD with adjacent targets... just pointing that out.

at least YAA! is more viable than no run buff/accurate snare..

Now if Yan started experimenting with more skills.
He might create more things that are new and exciting.
That is not to say this build is not somewhat fresh.

The assassin godfather does not like to play with Deadly arts or Shadow arts.
Not using your sub-ordinates more often than naught creates problems for any "God father".

For the job it's meant to do, it looks like a good build.

Why does everyone ASS-U-ME a build has to have a heal/speed/shadow step option for it to be a decent sin build. It KD's and interrupts casters. Yeah, it may not be perfect, but it would be a continual pita for the back line. You can't kite if you are continually on your butt.

Its not about being perfect its that in todays game outside of RA

Not having a snare/IMS/Or Shadow step (I prefer Snare and IMS)
because kiting is just so simple to do, my assassin can kite any warrior (using no ims) as long as they cant get adrenaline to rush me.
Its that simple.

Interesting build Yan but a tad to many knock-downs for me especially with all the block stancing running around.

Just seems a bit overkill when you could be throwing in some more damage.

Personally I'd rather kill a target faster than keep them on the floor.

if you are going to go knockdown sin i think this is slightly better because of the higher damage. stole this from someone, i didn't make it up. forget who did. it's really fun to play because the knockdown can be used at the start of the chain which gives you a major head start vs other melee. owns other sins of course and warriors too. most casters dont get a chance to do anything, except monks can throw in a quick heal before the BoS sometimes. Stances own it.

On topic please.


This build might not be great, but it's supposed to be a remake of the now-nerfed old yanssassin.

One of the better things of the build is the lack of down time do to moebius strike.

Generally instagib dagger sins have a 20 second time out waiting for SP and tiger stance to recharge.

Not really...

Although I've been running

YAA-Unsuspecting-Jungle Strike-Trampling Ox-Falling Lotus Strike-Twisting Fangs-IAS-res sig

It's more BOOM UR DED but that's not really my style. Also only works vs single target foes (YAA ).
