Stuc where
an you get moebius strike?
if so
[card]Golden Phoenix Strike[/card][card]Critical Strike[/card][card]Moebius Strike[/card][card]Death blossom[/card]
And an enchant
Should do you well.
Choice enchantments are
Way of perfection,Critical defenses,critical agility.
EG
[card]Golden Phoenix Strike[/card][card]Critical Strike[/card][card]Moebius Strike[/card][card]Death blossom[/card][card]Critical Defenses[/card][card]Way of Perfection[/card][card]Dash[/card][card]Resurrection signet[/card]
Note you can have all 3 of these on your bar if you desire.

If you are not that far.
[card]Black Mantis Thrust[/card][card]Wild Strike[/card][card]Death Blossom[/card][card]Plague Touch[/card][card]Parasitic Bond[/card]

Should also work.

Or

Jagged strike,wild strike,Death blossom (simple)

Add Deaths charge/Deaths Retreat/Aura of displacement

Just aim to have around 12 Dagger mastery and 12 critical since your level 14.

When level 20, you want stuff like

12/13 dagger mastery, 13 critical.

If using henchmen, use

Ctrl+spacebar+shift to make them target one specific foe, use this against things like monks/ritualists/yijo.

Make sure you kill yijo ASAP also.

That and having monks/rit healers in your team (Beware of Smite and Channeling =P) That all depends on what you call ninja mentaility.

If its the I KILLZZZ ALLZZZ WITH MY L33T NINJA SKIILZZZ. then ya not good
but if its the, while the oppenets are busy i'll leap in and kill this poor sap and get out, then thats good

I haven't gotten that far with my sin yet, but I've been told that "powerful sin spikes" don't work that well. AoE Pressure > Spike.

but ya moebius ftw...it is kinda far into the game though so you might want to go the elite tome route

putting points in shadow couldn't hurt if you're gonna use shadow refuge but I'm more inclined to go /D and spec earth prayers for [skill]mystic regeneration[/skill]

If you don't have access to Nightfall, then replace critical agility w/ some other skill. If you dont have access to critical agility.. i wouldn't make an assassin tbh assassins would be shit without critical agility. It wouldn't be my main if their were no critical agility. Added Armor + 33% attack boost.. amazing and i usually have it on all the time.

You can't. You'll have to get your Sin to NF first.

Buy and use an elite tome for Moebius ASAP. That + Blossom is your damage engine. At lower levels, my bar looked like this.

[skill]critical defenses[/skill][skill]golden phoenix strike[/skill][skill]death blossom[/skill][skill]moebius strike[/skill][skill]wild blow[/skill][skill]shroud of distress[/skill][skill]shadow refuge[/skill][skill]dark escape[/skill]

CS at either 8/9 or 13, depending on what you can afford. Try to have at least 10 DM, and 8 Shadow (5 is ok too).

Easy to use, try to keep up Shroud at all times. Send in the henchies, and let 'em create a mess, then dive at the thing you want dead most (EDIT: Talon was my best hench friend in Cantha. 'Charge!' is quite useful here), activate CritDef and start bashing away - using Wild Blow as often as you need to guarantee CritDef staying online. Use Refuge if you feel like it but if you notice too much pressure coming your way, run like hell with DEscape because you won't survive prolonged attention from strong foes even with the blocks up. It's worse when faced with an enchant strip - that is and will always be hell for PvE Sins.

The main difference between a Sin and a Warrior in PvE is an exchange of DPS for lower armour. You'll have to massively alter your playstyle if that's what you're used to. IMO, it's worth it.

hm, since the OP is after ideas for an A/N, I'd recommend [skill]Rigor Mortis[/skill] .. at zero investment in Curses, it's still a LOT better'n [skill]Expose Defenses[/skill], {those numbers are incorrect btw} will help you off those pesky rangers ~
