User:Trick/Saved Builds/Sin

Attributes and Skills

 * Drop Dash for Resurrection Signet if you want; however, the build performs optimally with the above bar.
 * Also consider dropping Dash for Critical Strike if you're having energy problems.

Attributes and Skills

 * Your optional slot is normally reserved for Critical Eye, but there are a few other choices here:
 * In a full PvE party, Resurrection Signet is the best choice.
 * Way of Perfection is usable as a long-term heal, and can serve to keep Way of the Assassin active (the downside is the short duration and small heals at lower levels of Shadow Arts).
 * Another Dual Attack, such as Critical Strike, will provide more energy management and a critical hit on-demand.


 * If kiting foes are a problem, I've found Leaping Mantis Sting to be a viable alternative to Golden Fox Strike.
 * When playing with a normal party, energy isn't a big deal for this build. It's probably a good idea to switch out Critical Eye in favor of a resurrection skill.
 * If survival is an issue, you can go A/D and switch Shadow Arts for Earth Prayers (see Variants, below).

Attributes and Skills

 * Using skills like Wild Blow as the optional skills help against stance users.
 * Using an attack boost skill like Lightning Reflexes or Burst of Aggression can allow quicker combo damage.
