This build is very good for an assassin in PvE:

I'd suggest this variant:



It replaces your 3 first attack moves with one, enabling you to start-up the DB/MS-chain. I filled the other 2 slots with a damage increasing and critical healing skill.

However, it does increase your dependance of enchantments, because you cannot start your chain without one. But normally you have 2 up before engaging in combat, which recharge on critical hit and optionally 1 when healing.

If you aren't facing a lot of blocking Stances/Enchants then GPS is fine, but if you miss GPS for whatever reason you're left sitting for 8 seconds before it recharges and you can get your chain rolling again...

GPS variant kinda looks like a melee mob farming build ...... in fact i think i used something like that to farm some item from nick.

Thanks for the add End. If playing in NM (which most ppl that I know don't even bother with anymore) enemy mobs are going to 'splode too quickly. In HM that shouldn't be a problem.

Well, you do have to go for fresh targets to get most use out of it (this goes for all varieties), so I can't completely disagree with you. However, using GPS you can all but forget about following up on spikes - chances of Moebius connecting on a Discord target are pretty slim.

If you were running with a Discordway setup why would you not be running an AP Caller bar?

Back On-Topic (this is not a Discordway Thread, we have far too many of those already, lol):

Assassins should be looking for fresh targets all the time regardless. I know that I have a habit of calling a Target for Teammates/Heroes/Henchman and then changing targets so that I don't get screwed out of my chain/combos.
