[repeating strike] in pve??? if ur blinded or blocked ur no use and might as well back up and /sit till the fight is over. its a horrible skill anyways. kills what sins are good at..spiking/shutdown.
Thank you for the constructive cirtique, I always appreciate thoughtful comments like this...
Maybe I didn't stress the fact that I never claimed it to be and end all awsome shutdown/spike build, I even said it wouldn't stand up to MS/DB. It's a build for fun. Read fun not designed to be super effective but designed to use something non-standard for giggles.
And honestly if you look at it from a purely damage standpoint it's not too bad at all, the damage dealt is comprable to an average warrrior attack chain (DSlash notwithstanding). The reason it's not that great is because assassins simply have better options.
And to comment on your "gripes" with the build the things you listed pretty much shut down most physical damage dealers not just specific to this build. Also blind really isn't very common in pve and most of the blocking comes from ranger stances and last time I checked Wild Strike removes stances. But if you do keep getting hit with that pesky blind, I found this neat little skill when I was over in Kamadan; [assassin's remedy].
