What can i do to maximie invulnerability in my build?

Better variants of "your" build are run on three quarters of all the assassins in the game. For PvE your setup is pretty crappy actually. Golden Phoenix Strike is not so great. You have no lead attack, so you must start every attack with it, and it has an eight second recharge. Better to use Jagged strike or Golden Fox strike. Wild Strike or Golden Fang Strike make for nice offhands. Then use D.B. and M.S. As for the antidote signet, why waste a spot for it when you can run Assassin's Remedy instead. Also, ditch shadow sanctuary for something better, like Critical Eye or Way of Perfection. wow..not talking would have been better. phoenix is all thats needed because once you get the chain started you just keep using db/mobius one after the other, and hey recharge on it doesnt matter because once below 50% mobius will recharge it like omg!..

For farming only bosses I might agree with you. However, plenty of stuff in PvE will be dead before you get to M.S., leaving you standing there with no available skills to use waiting for your only staring attack in the chain to recharge, and possibly letting your enchants possibly go down. Oh yeah, and what if the target has *gasp* a blocking stance!? Following what you suggest you'd be SoL. Try not to sound so superior unless you can bring your A game to the table.

This is my build called shadow blossom, its really good for opponents that cause diseases and such however, elementalist opponents and massive tankers are killing me. I need some advice.

I know this is a great build, don't take it! I am usually farming solo, but mobsters are killing me.

P.S. Is there a good guide for assassin farmers I tried searching for it and found nothing. Please point me to the right direction. 1) you should have [shadow refuge] not [shadow sanctuary] they just buffed [shadow refuge] it is even better. Also as previously stated the armor bonus doesn't stack.

2) Your build isn't terrible but it's not very good either don't be so cocky you are asking for help after all. I wouldn't need to steal it I can think of more creative builds. I know how to play my assassin.

3) The best guide for assassin farming is going out and experiencing what bosses have to offer then coming up with a build for that situation. You shouldn't rely on one build for every boss.

There is my advice.

I don't mean to be a douche but your OH SO ORIGINAL build isn't very original at all. In fact, it's not even the best of its kind. OP you think way too highly of yourself...
Why would you need critical strike, CA alone should be able to keep it up. And if you're trying to farm eles, run Shadowform...I don't see another way. Didn't mean to imply its original...


FreeFalling thanks for your advice and no need to think so bitter.

FreeFalling thanks for your advice and no need to think so bitter. If I were being bitter you would know. It just seemed as if you were being very cocky about your build so I made the remark. But yes the best guides are the ones you make. Same goes for builds. You will know how to use them more effectively then you would just going to wiki and taking a build off of the website.

PS: Wiki is bleh!

If u want better survivability run Crit barrage ...and stay away from enemies ..

Otherwise ..[Critical] agility [critical defenses] and [feigned neutrality] should be able to keep u alive if u have decent monks ... [shadow refuge] would be better then [feigned neutrality] for the simple fact that you can attack with [shadow refuge] on. Also crit barrage would be terrible for soloing bosses which is what he is trying to do. Also he doesn't need decent monks to survive. As long as he has a good self healing build.

PS: Can anyone link me to the page that helps you post skill images? I wanted to post one of my sin builds as an example as a good self healing build but I can't seem to remember how to post them. I do remember how to post single skill though.

I said it before ill say it again. not talking would have been better. people use golden phoenix because it compacts the skill bar. and your enchants going down? is it that hard to auto-attack? and if he is attacking a foe that has a blocking stance then you can *gasp* attack someone else! besides if he is farming solo then he is going to have trouble attacking foes who can block him(such as foes with crit defenses) because he wouldn't be able to death blossom spam. so sure you could bring unblockable lead/offhand but the whole point of the build is to spam db.

So let me get this straight... It would be better if I didn't say anything... but the rubbish you're spewing out is somehow better? Compacting the bar isn't always a good idea, especially if it makes you fail more often. Having Golden Fox and Wild Strike is more versatile, faster in terms of recharge and moving to the next foe. Yes, the point is to spam DB, but that's not likely to happen with your Golden Pheonix is blocked and you can't get to it, or if its long recharge hinders you. Good luck farming with all autoattacks lol!

Good luck farming with all autoattacks lol! compacting the bar is better when you are just trying to get to db/mobius. even if you take a couple of unblockable attacks, so what? If they aren't blocked the db spam isn't going to do anything then. Plus, the recharge still doesn't matter if you have mobius recharging it. Also, what could he be farming that has blocking stances? Oh and to your last comment it was in response to your statement about keeping the enchantments up, auto-attack to get a crit strike and reapply the enchantments.
