My first sin build.

Alright, I finally made a sin. In the whole permasin war, i was totally against it (pre nerf, that is), but...my account got haxored and my level one sin is now a lvl 20 permasin. Since i still don't like using the permasin too much, i decided i needed a more unique, PvE friendly, custom build. Looking at wiki for some tips, i realized that i wanted to go with the critical hits for the E-management, and for more damage. couple hours later, and this is what i have:

Crit Hit Sin (Assassin/Warrior)

11 Dagger Mastery
4 Shadow Arts
12 + 3 Critical Strikes

[skill]Unsuspecting Strike[/skill] [skill]Wild Strike[/skill] [skill]Critical Strike[/skill] [skill]Wild Blow[/skill] [skill]Shadow Refuge[/skill] [skill]Way of the Assassin[/skill] [skill]Critical Eye[/skill] [skill]Critical Defenses[/skill]

Weapon: Icy Tengu Daggers of Enchanting

Why icy, you ask? I plan on going /E and putting in [skill]Conjure Frost[/skill] to add some more damage. Wild blow can be replaced with pretty much anything, it's an easy hit though that always ends up being a critical.

Any thoughts? Mods? Ideas? lemme know, I'm here to learn.

11 Dagger Mastery
4 Shadow Arts
12 + 3 Critical Strikes

THIS IS A PROBLEM. SHOULD BE:

12+1+1 Dagger Mastery
3 Shadow Arts
12+1 Critical Strikes

Couple of problems:

1) Elite is obsolete due to pve skill Critical Agility, whic h you obviously have accss to due to a nf armor on ur avatar.
2) No aoe... the primary reason y sins initially werent very good in pve, or atleast had that stigma is that single target damage isnt as great as aoe.
3) 6 Second single target chain with no 'great' damage

Basically, u need to replace ur elite. A 25% IAS < 33% IAS, and one is elite the other isnt. On a sin with daggers, criticalling is more for the energy then the damage, making the +20AL from agility better then the crit strike chance. Assuming u want to stay away from the stereotypical mb/db chain, ull want a different elite. Shattering assaults a nice option, but fairly energy intensive. Beguiling Haze, AoD are also pretty nice. Other then that there arent that many options... oh wait forgot they buffed flashing blades. That could replace critical defence.

Making ur bar look like this:

[Unsuspecting Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom][Critical Agility][Critical Eye][Critical Defences][Shadow Refuge][Optional]

Also consider dropping shadow refuge since 3 or 4 shadow arts is a pathetic heal. Save Yourselves is always nice to bring along as well. Swap Shadow Refuge for Save Yourselves, and u still have an optional for either an elite or pve skill, depending on if the elite can replace another skill.

assassin's promise is very good in pve too becuz the monsters should die before the hex expires (unless of course they have hex removal then which for another elite) assassin's promise give ene and recharges ALL your skills when hexed foe dies.

you get it from the assassin boss outside maatu keep to the west in the lil covered area
