All I see is 0 defense, then it's not hard to kill stuff. Too bad you can't kill anything when you're dead.

Anyway. I think you ment to put in trampling ox (KD if crippled) io horns of the ox

Well the idea is fun. But i think the combo is a bit long and you wasted your elite slot because you dont have an enchant.

If you use 7 attacks against me... one of us will surely be dead before reaching the end of their chain. You might want to think about that for a sec.

So what happens if your target doesn't move?

And you don't need 7 attack skills to kill a hero.

Not even 1 have self heal or any defense. Now let me tell you why those builds are good and yours is canine excrement. All those builds have some form of utility or an optional slot for utility. That utility skill can be something like a speed boost, escape skill, shadowstep, rez, self heal, condition removal, etc. They don't live off of a long complex combo that takes up your whole skill bar. Once one attack fails to hit via block or you being blinded, you're basically useless till you can do your chain again. The other thing you forgot is an IAS to pull off your weapon swap combo.

If you still think your build is comparable to those you mentioned, then post it on PvX and see how it ranks. I would love to see the results

And yes I will still talk because my statement still stands. Your build is canine excrement because of the lack of any utility.

And if you don't want to believe that, please post it on PvX and see how far it will go.

it's a good build, lord nibiru dude. like the bb sin but sexier cuz you swap twice. forget them naysayers. most sin bars are all offense, especially in hb where you design your heroes to fill in the gaps. thumbs up.

Heh. The BB sin doesn't gimp itself by actually trying to use the Hammer for damage.

i know almost nothing about sins. i do know something about melee characters though and that is not a good build at all. the reasons have already been mentioned so i won't go into it. it's just terrible.

Try build 1st. 7 attacks in 4secs?

even before the wota nerf, and if u wore a sup crit to get 37% ias
that would still take 7~8s

to get 7 attacks in 4secs, u'd need a +100% ias
good luk tryin to get anet to give u one of those

not to mention theres no damage bonus and no deepwound in that combo


and do u realize that most ppl in hb have running and blocking stances/enchants?

1. 99% people here saying long chain are probably not even on HB ladder
2. its better to have 13/14 on dagger and crit and 3 on hammer
3. way of assasin nerf = u need to tweak the build for different IAS and find a good elite. i would suggest YAA, tramp ox replace horn, take out pulverizing because heavy blow will still work. this way the chain can go 2 ways instead of 1 predictable way
4. i'll give it a run

I think what everyone is trying to say is this will only work if you run up against someone that is really bad, this might work. As soon as you get blocked, knocked down yourself, interupted, crippled first, your stance removed, etc. etc. you are screwed.

There is no way here to adjust or recover if your chain doesn't fall perfectly in place.

I guess no heal no exrta defense no shadow step for surprise bothers me the most. If I was running a mesmer against this I would hex the heck out of you before you got to me.

A bar with nothing but [frenzy] and [mending] can work in HB half the time.

That does'nt make it a good bar, neither is this.

way of assasin is already nerfed so it has to be replaced by another elite. refer to my last post, this build can be fixed. but the point is that there is 6 attack skills at least and 1 elite, making the IAS very limited in choices. flail and flurry can all be good IAS but all have downsides. frenzy has to go with dash because it wont work by itself but then u will need another slot. after the tweak, this build will look very similar to the YAA build and it will just be a variant of YAA.

everyone:
dont argue about the long chain because it will only prove that u dont HB
dont ask why u need IAS because it also proves that u dont HB
dont say that this build has no utility, prot, heal, etc. because it further proves u dont HB

this thread should have ended as soon as the nerf came which is 1 day after the buff lol. was fun trying some builds

Who cares a 7 attack chain combo is bad no matter how you look at it. Be it for AB, RA, HA, HB, TA, GvG, PVE. Dont encourage crappy builds and can a mod lock this thread nothing but flame warz.

HB = [Healers Boon] ROFL, jk
Edit (again): Shouldn't this go in the Hero Battles forum?
Edit (Again Again) OMFG I FEEL STUPID!!! I thought [Pulverizing Smash] Made you lose all adrenaline. And I thought, Fail. But, this isn't that bad, I see the combo that I couldn't see. /delete pictures This build is pretty good. Now, lets see it in action
Edit (Final Time): I tested this build in HB. I went up against this monk that had [shield of deflection] and another monk with [Word of Healing]. I had trouble at first, because of SoD. I put pressure on the monk player, he casts SoD. I go after hero monk, he was screwed. Good Job. Just on your main post its for HB. Or at least list it on HB forums. So you won't get confused PvE people.
