Well I am thinking of going for the typical DB + MB spam build but just wondering which is a good lead attack to take with it. Now Unsuspecting Strike is amazing since it does huge damage right away, but usually if there are a lot of monsters in the way you won't really get the chance to hit the extra damage from the mob being >90% hp. What do you guys think about this skill, worth to take or better to take something like Golden Fox strike?

Take something cheap, fast, and weak like Jagged Strike. The whole point of DB+MB spam (IMO) is that you want your target to stay alive for a while so that you can continuously do mass amounts of AoE damage. Personally I like using the Vanguard skill Sneak Attack, Golden Fox is a pretty decent alternative as well since you should always have Critical Agility going.

Why do you need a lead? Golden Phoenix strike right into it, MB will recharge it. Yes you should have some enchants anyway.

GPS=8 sec recharge. GFS is ur best choice along with wild/golden fang.

unsespecting is to energy intensive and in pve its useless.

^ You quoted the entire argument against your post. Once you hit Moebius Strike, Golden Phoenix is auto-recharged.

I maintain either a weak lead or a skip like Golden Phoenix.

your best options are either GPS or sneak attack(if you are afraid you won't get mobius off and have to wait for the recharge)

Golden Fox - Wild.

If there's one thing I hate it's being blocked.

Even if you get hit with Blind or something, 90% of the time it'll get pulled by your monks and/or Assassin's Remedy, and I'm personally willing to take that risk of 10%. Plus you should have your team targeted/locked on to another enemy so that they don't kill it, since you're wanting as much AoE damage from DB+MS as possible.

Well its not bad, can do a really good damage but I honestly prefer golden fox > wild strike over it, just because it cannot be blocked an removes those pesky stances.
