I would take a moebius sin for DPS, which is the only thing most people playing sin think it is usefull for (you are a great example). Most para builds run SA and WY anyway. Why not on a sin with SY with insane adrenaline? Please use it before you bash it. Open up you're mind. Also, typing out you're words will get you far, but im not about to turn this into a grammer war.
Oh, and you can also throw this on a hero (although you wont have SY) and it doesn't do bad. Because we all know hero sins fail at chains.

if you kno to use a moebius then use it
support is for paras
04 Mar 2008 at 23:32 - 8
Even that's bad unfortunately.
The only *real* use was spamming "Fear Me!" but that's long-gone and wasn't very effective to start.
But if you *really* wanna use this, crit agility gogo?
04 Mar 2008 at 23:58 - 9
this is terrible. why are you using flurry and no '+dmg on hit' skills?
05 Mar 2008 at 00:03 - 10
because it's purpose is to gain adrenaline and spam shouts......

LF shouldn't be used with attack skills , it should be used for adrenaline shout-chants , and to trigger Mark of Pain and Barbs.
yes , it IS a weak elite , not worth of using it , but it has uses

you are completly wrong , just coz sins are generally 12345 instagibs it doesn't mean that they can't run a support role , support is not only for paras , eles , mesmers , necros , wars , dervs can run support rules , and still don't have bad builds at all

Locusts is pure garbage, in pvp and pve.
Ok you have a build right there that does absolutely no damage but is instead for "support"
I still prefer something like: Golden Phoenix Strike, Critical Strike, Moebius Strike, Death Blossom, Crit Agility, Crit Defenses, Save Yourself and something- if you die in pve you can take rez, if you want more support you can take skill like Watch Yourself.
Decent adren gain, nice support, self-defense, ias, armor and mainly- high dps, cause that's what sins are supposed to do- damage.
Maybe I'm bit borring with "moebius moebius blah blah moebius" but last time I checked it works.
Seriously, why do you people try to come up with 'original' locusts fury build? It's like trying to make Wastrel's Collapse or Seeping Wound work well.
But it won't because it's a crappy skill >_<
Oh, and dis thread needs more lolcats.

talking pve sins dont use instagibs sry but no sins can't run support (with the small exception of maybe a sy spam with a moebius chain).
05 Mar 2008 at 00:23 - 14
like i said , locust's has use , but bad uses
the same for seeping wound , seeping -> black spider strike -> twisting fangs
doesn't have any other use rather than this

I don't see what's wrong with this build. In fact, it's one of those creative builds that actually work to a certain extent (especially when compared to the bad thread about "high DPS sin" with locusts fury--lol). It's a pretty strong party support guy, and if you don't have a human para, this can substitute decently. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't go around suggestion for threads to get locked. Plus, things don't get locked because it's a bad build (and I don't even think this build is that bad compared to everything else on here). Or else 95%+ of campfire would be locked/deleted already.
05 Mar 2008 at 01:11 - 16
If you had a necro (hero or whatever) to whack barbs and/or MoP on your target, it becomes support + ownage.
But then, doing exactly the same with a moebius blossom sin makes it ownage + ownage, so it's still subpar from a raw damage perspective.

So true...
Anyway Locust's is a bad elite anyway lol. So many other useful elites sin = hit and run use those 5 atck chains (think thats how many we are using now lol).
05 Mar 2008 at 03:06 - 18
The main reason for soldiers is because its a awesome skill, lol, but you actually CAN get a not-all-too-sad DPS spamming it on recharge with vamp daggers. You'd really be surprised how much dps this can get.
Also like above posters said: running this with a mark of pain, barbs and orders necro = a complete massacre.

if your gunna quote some1 quote the enitre thing :P
and if you had a choice between a locust's sin or a imbagon which would you chose?

it fails at that though, the adrenaline gain falls far short of an imbagon or a Dslasher.
05 Mar 2008 at 07:07 - 21
It's not a bad way of pumping out SY!, but the rest of that bar is essentially wasted space.
05 Mar 2008 at 07:23 - 22
Yeah. And sadly, Locusts' Fury IS bad. A moebius sin, even if less creative, works much better. You CAN put SY! on it and spam every few seconds.
05 Mar 2008 at 17:43 - 23
i like it. it runs smoothly and you dont die and when you do its because the monk forgot to heal lol
05 Mar 2008 at 19:35 - 24
even then i have no problem with staying alive on my sin even if my monk forgot about me.

You need to leave shing jea island.
06 Mar 2008 at 03:07 - 26
This build probably outputs SY! after than a Moebius sin, I'll give you that...
06 Mar 2008 at 03:44 - 27
If you want SY! on a stick, run a Para. You'll do damage.
06 Mar 2008 at 03:54 - 28
for pve?
Locust's Fury
Critical Agility
Conjure Whatever Matches Your Daggers
You'll be surprised at how much damage it does. (add dwarven headbutt and/or dodge this to taste) It's not a big spike chain or as twinky as pve crit scythe, but it works.

Your asking to be flamed, have a look at the other 3 threads that started off with LF and ended up crashing,burning and getting locked.

A bit of negativity and close-mindedness in this thread, but so far no crashing/burning/getting locked as far as I can tell. 
07 Mar 2008 at 21:46 - 31
we could post cat pics if you want it closed?
07 Mar 2008 at 21:51 - 32
Didn't emply that I wanted the thread closed, but judging from the responses that the other threads revolving around LF got, I doubt it'll be anything positive.
08 Mar 2008 at 07:09 - 33
tested a Locust build and a Moebious build and the locusts fury can kill quicker and has way more dps
08 Mar 2008 at 11:35 - 34
I fail to understand how you did 300+ damage in a single second with a Locust's Fury build...
Even with all those buffs, I smell Photoshop.
08 Mar 2008 at 12:02 - 35
Nice job, however you forgot that Asuran Scan makes hell of a lot difference so I don't know why didn't you use it on Moebius Spammer but I helped.

And 2 skill slots free.
So it's MS that has higher DPS and kills faster, not to mention armor ignoring AoE dmg.
Oh and I managed to beat that without: Strength of Honor, Ebon Vanguard Standard of Honor, which could fit on the skillbar.
08 Mar 2008 at 20:25 - 36
Above posts are about DPS of locusts fury. This build has nothing to do with dps.
Take it to the thread about the DPS of locusts fury.

I made a pretty good Locust's fury build a while ago... It's not a bad elite, it just doesn't do what a normal assassin is meant to do. :/
http://gw.gamependium.com/tools/builds/show/3956, I basically used it with an orders derv and someone maintaining SoH on me. DPS actually turned out to be pretty good, but trust me when I say that making a good build around Locust's fury requires outside help, and this is too much work for it's own good.
