New to Sin, questions on MS/DB

I have only been running a Sin for a short time now. I would like to hear some comments on the build I have been running:

600hp/25e
Survivors Insignias
Zealous/Fortitude Dagger

14 DM
13 CS

Golden Phoenix Strike
Critical Strike
Moebius Strike
Death Blossom
Critical Defenses
Critical Agility
Critical Eye
Dash

It's not fancy, but the skills all have strong synergy with each other, and the build is very straightforward for a beginner.

The one drawback I have seen is that if GPS misses, your attack chain is screwed until GPS recharges. Although, even auto attacking generates enough crits to maintain CD/CA, so you don't fall apart, you just can't get into MS/DB.

Critical Strike is handy if you NEED to refresh CD/CA.

There just doesn't seem to be a faster way to get into MS/DB without breaking the rest of the build. Master of Damage rates this at 81dps, to a single target. Obviously MS/DB crank out numbers much higher when they get in a mob. The build is crazy fun, and very survivable. I've died like 3 times as I worked through EotN.

I've never looked up a Sin build. I made this one myself, for all I know, everyone runs this. How is it?

not bad. Critical strike and critical eye is overkill, I would just go with critical eye because it dosnt break your MS/DB chain. I wouldnt bother with dash either, kinda useless. if you need a speedboost i would take rush.

its pretty good though, pro attribute spread.

looks pretty good, but i would throw in save yourself in place of dash for extra support

Yea, Mobieus and Death blossom are basically the bread and butter skills for PvE sins.

I have a very similar set up. I only use it in HM and other specific situations, though. In NM and most areas, enemies die too fast sometimes, preventing me from connecting with MS. That'll leave me with a lot of time just hacking away with my dagger dealing next to no damage thanks to GPS' long recharge.

Most times, I go with this set up:

Golden Lotus Strike
Golden Fox Strike
Wild Strike
Death Blossom

GLS for e-management and the rest of the attack skills to spam all day long. Constant unblockable attack skills as well as stance removing skills. The remaining slots can go for defense, self heal, res, or othe offensive help like Critical Agility. You can throw in MS for good measure, but it's not needed. Very good damage and most importantly, reliable in majority of PVE situations.

Looks good, I rolled a sin recently and am loving it, have yet to get going on EotN yet but took him through Factions and NF using the same build:

[build prof=A/W box dagger=12+1+1 Critical=12+1][Golden Fox Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom][Moebius Strike][Critical Eye][Critical Agility][I am unstoppable][Save Yourselves][/build]

Using two Rit heroes, both with Splinter Weapon and AR, and one with Warmongers, it's quite delicious.

PS: And yes, the armor from "IAU!" And Crit Agility stack.
