Unsuspecting Strike, Wild Strike, Death Blossom, Moebius Strike, Death's Charge, Resurrect, Shadow Refuge, Dash


Do you think that's decent for a PVE Sin?

If not, can someone recommend a few changes?

For PvE, Critical Defense and Critical Agility will do very nicely for you

i'd take out death's charge for crit agility, shadow refuge for feigned neutrality and rez sig for crit defense but thats my opinion.
many would say you would need a rez but i generally play with h/h.

calm down, hes trying to help you... anyways

switch unsuspecting and wild for golden phoenix strike
death's charge and that spare slot for critical agility and critical defenses
ressurect for a better rez skill. DP signet is the best, res sig is fine.
shadow refuge for a better self heal, mystic regeneration is best. way of perfection is decent.
you can leave dash or witch it for almost anything, i would get drunken master.

make sure attributes are:
crit: 12+1 (or 11+1+1)
earth(or other slef heal attribute): 8
the rest in daggers +1 (or +1+1)

Well.. self heal isn't that needed unless you are doing something solo.. You will always have monks with (or you should have ) just place everything on dagger mastery and critical strike and make sure you get 13 in crit strikes as Coloneh says. Anyway.. here's my suggestion (and the build I use):

[skill]Critical Agility[/skill][skill]Golden Fox Strike[/skill][skill]Wild Strike[/skill][skill]Critical Strike[/skill][skill]Moebius Strike[/skill][skill]Death Blossom[/skill][skill]"Save Yourselves!"[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

and @ the loony up there with the SY! build with no slef heal AND no critical defenses: thats just madness. running your sin into melee without any defense and expecting your monk to save your ass when you could very easily keep yourself alive is just being a bad team player.

I would drop SY! for it - it's a great skill but really doesn't belong on a frontline squishy.

On the self-heal issue: Mystic Regen is nice as always, but Feigned is more likely to get you out of a bind when you really need it. Also, consider Assassin's Remedy/Mending Touch: condition removal > healing.

Assassin self heals are mediocre at best and are pretty much useless at the best of times other than for an out of combat heal. Considering, with that build, you have +24 armour and the rest of your team is blessed with the benefit of +100 armour, do you really think your monks would have any trouble keeping you alive?

If they do then I suggest finding better Monks.

If they do then I suggest finding better Monks. you still have about 50 less armor less that everyone else in your party. that makes you the first target for all AI. If you don't bring critical defenses you're going to blow up.

When everyone in the party has +100 armor, and the lowest armored person in your team has at least 160 armor....they will not be taking damage. Nobody will be taking damage besides the assassin.

If your monks are incapable of keeping one person alive, then they need to drop the Healing Breeze and take a real build.
