Assassin Build for AB

Couple of reasons Tyla, 1) Can`t be bothered to get More Imperial Elite Armour to swop them out. 2) They enable me to bring my shadow arts up to lvl 10, which is handy for the 30hp heal on a crit and the 7 sec daze on Beguiling if i equip it and go hunting casters ( or anyone else i bounce up to ) with my silencing`s.


Yeah i know, " conventional wisdom says, 2 supes is bad " well i say bollocks to conventional wisdom....according to that i can`t go toe to toe with a 800hp warr with 100 armour.......yet i do it all the time lol

So you kill yourself by reducing your survivability heavily?

Actually iv`e found i crit so much i heal myself constantly lol, and i don`t want a pvp only char, i do swop my mask out though if i go ranger as its +4 DM, and no point if i`m using a bow.

I can't believe I'm actually replying to that with even the most useless post here.

That's just bad.........................................

lol
lalala12charslalala riiight, so you just ignore the fact that none of the builds posted here can do what that build does (kill targets in rapid succession with literally no downtime, while stylishly shadowstepping back and forth very ninja-like). the only requirement is that you must be sure AP will trigger.

Go go gadget gank. FGJ still works "ok" for BB sin in AB.

HAHA CYTHEREA DID A FUNNY - Scrubs calling other people scrubs is funny. Especially since you think that Sinsplit was tactical.

Oh, and Assassins' Promise is bad in PvP. Spikes aren't always going to go through, especially 'Sin spikes.

I run this bar in AB... its fun, it uses my favourite elite AoD... and was brilliant before they stuffed shadowsteps.. still fun and works coz its AB.

[Aura of Displacement][Mark of Instability][Golden Phoenix Strike][Twisting Fangs][Falling Lotus Strike][Blades of Steel][Dash][Optional]. Good timing, and placement of AoD is quite useful, sometimes better then a self heal. If you anchor urself at the monk shrine, then you can get back there real easy, etc. Also optional is for a self heal. I like heart of shadow. When you get a melee train on you heart of shadow, then end AoD... quite fun.

where you put the last point is up to you

...leaving you with a mighteh 405 Health. Mebbe less. Fiiiiix'd.

All kinds of fail. Too much to bother with, tbfh. Though; thanks for making instagib possible again, I wish there were more people like you in AB.

Brave Moriz is Brave but build lacks KDlock and/or snare (which screwed me over some when I ran it).

assassins are only strong in pvp arena that features a) lots of open spaces and movement and b) dumb players.

that basically limits it down to two arenas: alliance battles (aka assassin battles), which features both; and hero battles, which features dumb AI substituting for dumb players, and lots of movement running between shrines.

in every other arena, they are weak purely for the fact that there are better characters you can run in that spot.

you need to watch more GvG's. alot of guilds are sqeezing in shatter sins nowadays. why? pressure/enchant loss/good e-management.

as for HA i deem that area anti-sin in most cases.

Quote: Deadly arts sins can allow high att investment in their secondary attribute, assuming its never bad to have a self heal in ab pugs woh makes a good one. Damage is decent - standard assacaster, has speedboost, condition removal, self heal. Everything you need in AB so I dont see how its bad. its damage blows. nonexistent e-management. and it literally looks dumb in action, not stylish at all. the one i posted is much better.

Lol, I used to run that in AB back before Deadly Paradox got nerfed, I used to run Return over Dash though for instant teleport to Monk to remove Daze.

What you have posted isnt better and is no way "stylish". LOL an AP sin in pvp killing the dummies outside isle of nameless oshi what a skiel you can kill the dummies.

AP sins are bad in pvp, first you might not kill you target, second ap can be removed and you end up siting there waiting for your shadowstep to recharge.

And no, my build doesnt look dumb, you have ossum dagger throwing action and can run around staying alive swiftly showing off your aweasome armor and weapons wasting time of noobs who die trying to catch you. Thats what AB is for amirite? And you can do the damage.

assassins are effectively dead in gvg. that's been true ever since they took out VoD and npc movement.

@Super Igor

The paradox asscaster is only decent with Lyssa's Aura. You can run it with 12 in deadly arts and 12 in inspiration with ether feast as a self heal.

In general a lot of AB assassins get too defensive with their builds or just bring crap that doesn't work. We've all seen the generic gank builds a zillion times, but if you don't know what else to run stick to the proven and play smart without getting yourself in bad situations.

Oh, and is it any use outside of hitting bad players or NPC's? I didn't need it to be spelt out. If so, your build is quite bad. Bars that can't do anything outside of hit NPC's and bad players (or should I say terribad instead?) constantly are... bad?

Oh, and I'll quote this for the lolz.
