I was curious to see what elite skills I should look into taking the time to cap, so far all I've capped is shroud of silence and I find it rather useful but I'm looking for something that will do some serious dmg. Any takers and please can you post location and map if applicable? Thanks.

I haven't even PLAYED factions yet, but my favorite's already Aura of Displacement. Doesn't actually do any damage, but it gets you in, enchants you so golden phoenix strike works, and then gets you out again when you're done.

As for the locations . . . http://www.xennon.co.uk/eliteskills/ is considered standard.

Deffinately aura of displacement for me. Use it to skip past the tanks and get straight to the backline without any hassle. Flick it off as soon as you start taking heavy fire and your nicely away from the fighting
Only problem is when you get someone cast an enchantment removal mid combo and you whisked away.

I'd have to go with the elite skill Flashing Blades, works perfectly for me.

AoD is THE SKILL that make assassins what they are.
go in, deal fast spike dmg, go out....

I prefer Beguiling Haze.

Recall does the job for getting out of there, but sometimes it's a GREAT weapon against Necros (and monks if you are extra skilled)

Not AoD.

If it makes Sins what they are then why is it available to anyone who takes Sin secondary?

AoD seems FotM for Sins who need an enchant for GPS, frankly I would rather use a more beneficial enchant if I used GPS.. which I don't.

AoD doesn't need to be nerfed. Most elite skills for Assassins are either subpar or better used on a seconday.

AoD is so good because it gives you the element of suprise. If a monk sees you running towards him he will either run or in some way hinder you. With AoS you get straight in and have already unleashed your combo before they can run. Its an excellent all round skill. Lets you kill key players, lets you avoid dmg, you can lure players away than cancel it leaving them out of the action for a while. Its just extremely versitile. You got some warriors on you you can step over to another char and healup, they chase you cancel it and you have yet more free time. Adaptability is key and something that can work in all situations is not a skill to be overlooked.

AoD? Heh, sounds like its time to make a Chilblains build :P

"Get away!!!!"

Personally, I've been enjoying Shroud of Silence...no better Ele killer in this game, imo.

Palm Strike is my favorite, but none of them are really special (AoD is great too).

Edit: Honorable mention: Shadow Shroud.

I love AoD

1 more though: Shadow Form (it takes a little bit of skill to use effectively and a lot of luck though).

But ya...AoD is teh bomb. It triggers Golden Lotus Strike, Golden Phoenix Strike... it's aweosme.

Temple Strike {E} would be an awesome elite if it didn't have such a long recharge...

i agree... i even bring a backup offhand (jungle strike since my lead is leaping mantis) for when templestrike is cooling down :/

not to mention the huge energy cost

but it's worth the effect it gives! >
