Critical agility, there's nothing to fear, or possibly vampirism.

In order, my thoughts on which is best:

1) "There's Nothing To Fear!"
2) Critical Agility
3) Necrosis
4) Cry of Pain
5) Eternal Aura
6) Vampirism
7) Whirlwind Attack
8) Never Rampage Alone
9) Intensity
10) Seed of Life

And of course, the one you can't compare to the others, because it is a godly skill: Sunspear Rebirth Signet.

I wanted to note, and this is just a personal gripe, that it annoys me how certain SS skills rely on certain professions' attributes, while others are *only* based on your rank. Like how critical agility is based on critical strikes, but vampirism isn't based on any ritualist attribute, (though I suppose you could argue that spawning power increases its hp).

Yeah, i agree
My Paragon is having a hard time using TnTf at 15 energy, and with a high Leadership rank, it doesnt let you do much with a Spear and Shield.
I wish there was a Leadership req Shield.

Necrosis.

It never leaves my skill bar in PVE.

Fast recharge, major damage, low energy, fairly fast cast.

Just got make sure about that degen arrow being on your target before you cast it.

For me it is:

1) Critical Agility
2) Pre-Nerf "TNtF!"
3) Sunspear Rebirth Signet
4) Vampirism
5) Necrosis
6) Whirlwind Attack
7-11) Those other skills I never use cause I don't play those professions.

That's because some were overpowered.

Anyway, TNTF is the best SS skill out there.

I would say either there's nothing to fear or cry of pain. Huge damage reduction vs huge damage huge aoe armor ignoring nuke. Critical agility is a close second since 33% permanent IAS is godly for assassins but since all you get from more sunspear ranks is a little more armor its not that important to max the ranks.

Why would anyone take sunspear rebirth signet, are you so intent on dieing that you sacrifice an immensely useful pve slot just for a res?

Personally I say just get r9 on all your characters, r10 is such a little improvement and it takes over 2x as long to go from r9 -> r10 as it takes to go from r0 -> r9.

Eternal Aura has nothing much to gain from more sunspear levels, so there isn't really a need to max the title for that. Necrosis is really nothing more then just a slightly buffed flare spam imho.
