Wish it doesn't get nerfed. Hopefully peace and harmony, enraged smash, etc overshadow it ; )

Makes me wonder if they forgot about trampling when they were adding cripple to palm strike.

PS Other updates look cool as well. 90% reduction on stances and enchantment is good. And shadow step with KD... I think we gonna get a nerfnuke soon.

Palm Strike is pretty sick now. You can pretty much keep most opponents crippled indefinitely while exploiting Trampling Ox's relatively fast recycle time.

that's because assassins didn't quite fit in the philosophy of GW pvp. Actually inventing them was anet's worst idea ever. They get kills on their own while GW is a team game.

So as long as sins get good at something, they get nerfed.

adding cripple did for palm strike what adding bleeding did for crippling slash.

bar compression. in the process, made a mediocre skill good. and added more options without affecting existing synergies.

more options = better game.

also, the new WC is awesome, feels really cool to perform. gg update.

AB is going to be overrun with sins now. At least, more so than before. Should be a fun update while it lasts. Gank 'n' rank, people.

with all this said, palm strike definitely needs a longer recharge. its current form is pretty ridiculous.

the recharge of the other attack skills limits it.

Wastrel's collapse looks hilarious, just tack the Shove combo on or use a DA build with it. What else could be good? Perhaps Palm Strike with Shadow Walk and Shock. Palm Strike+GPS+DBx3+Impale looks promising and has room for utility if I can find some. It's business time with my 'sin when I get home from college! I need a little instagibaggage in my stockings.

It took me about 5 miniutes after the update was posted to post a similar build on the game update post on riverside. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut because I see em everywhere in RA. It definately works well.

So as long as sins get good at something, they get nerfed. Save the drama.
They almost had something good, and they went overboard.
MoI is simply to effective on Enchantments. The idea of the buff wasn't wrong though.

Palm strike, again simply as I see it, a little extra.


Wastrels, remove the shadow step.

Wow....we just....I think we just covered the sin.
MoI: Reduce enchantment rape.
Palm Strike: Change the cripple or recharge.
Wastrels: remove the Shadow step.

YAY!!!!!!!

Things get nerfed because something gets done poorly.
Watch A-net go overboard on the nerfing too, and Palmstrike will be worse than it was 3 days ago.

there is a better version of the build :

[palm strike] [trampling ox] [falling spider] [twisting fang's] [blades of steel] [dash] [frenzy](or other att. speed) . for slot 8 u can take a random skill:

a shadow step
a rezz
a heal
...

u need to use it in this order:
palm strike - tramp. ox - falling spider - twisting fangs - palm strike - blades of steel ...

hope i helped u alot!!!
(palm strike is an off-hand attack with 4 sec. recharge)

As much as I love the new Palm Strike, I'm skeptical it will stay in its current state.

i foresee insecurity will be lowered to 60-70% and palm will be upped to 8r, tops. but both will keep their new functionalities, while wc and sw stay unchanged. that would be fine imo.

palm strike - tramp. ox - falling spider - twisting fangs - palm strike - blades of steel ... that looks really good. id probably use falling lotus.

I prefer Flail over Frenzy because they are crippled you will still catch up to them and they are KD for most of the chain. Its really easy to charge with a longbow in the beginning of the match too. Use dash as cancel stance of course if needed.

This is standard 13-14 attr split amirite? Could easily get away with [falling spider] over [falling lotus strike]

and y'know that 8 sec recharge on FS? It means [blades of steel] actually makes sense

I don't play sin much but I ran this in AB the other day:
[palm
[email protected]][trampling [email protected]][falling lotus [email protected]][twisting [email protected]][critical [email protected]][signet of malice][dash][shadow [email protected]]

Chain: [palm [email protected]] -> [trampling [email protected]] -> [falling lotus [email protected]] -> [twisting [email protected]] -> [palm [email protected]] -> [critical [email protected]]
I only really used critcal strike because I have not unlocked blades of steel yet and I really should have used mending touch rather than signet of malice. But it seemed to work well.

as long as you have the core combo, the other 3 slots can be pretty much anything. you will annihilate things regardless.
