    Sorry forgot to precise.

    Other than bait and switch and shadow strike. I've been using smoke as a 3rd encounter but I was wondering if there's any better AP generating encounters.

    Smoke seems to be the best apparently.


    Since I don't feel like creating a new thread.. is there a neckpiece that offers 200+ recovery somewhere? Please aware me.

    I could be wrong but I think WR is a better ap generator (little utility in pvp tho). about the neckpiece there is purified BI that gives 181 recovery (181 arpen 138 regen 54 ten) or there are blu items with 233 recovery

    What's the exact name of the 233 recovery ones?

    It's probably smiting nefarious or whatever.

    Yup, AP gain is based on damage done. Stealth Lasing Blade -> Confirmed Critical -> high damage -> high AP gain.

    For non-damage encounter to generate AP, you need to get the Action Rush Feat under Scoundrel Feats

    Action Rush - Your Encounter Powers have a 15% chance to grant 3/6/9/12/15% of your Action Point

    Ebony (Whisperknife)

    Correction: Impact Spam + Action rush. Charges full AP in one to two rotations (IS/SS/ITC)

    better question would be whats the best viable ap gain
    smoke bomb seem bit tricky to use and if solo against many people it sucks
    maybe its good for wk ranged but to low dmg then
    pob bait and ss work better if u have huge recovery
    and purified neck is the best after that one is reviving amulet of vitality with hp,recovery

    I got theese results
    Dazing Strike 4-5% non stealthed 5-6% stealthed
    LB 9% non stealthed 10-11% strealthed
    WR 2-3% non stealthed 3-4% stealthed
    Impact shot 5% per charge non stealthed 6% per charge stealthed
    POTB 12-13% non stealthed 10-11% stealthed
    Blitz 5-6% non stealthed 6-7% stealthed
    Deft strike 6-7% non stealthed 7-8% stealthed
    I did the tests without stone in pvp gear with 3579 power and 1297 recovery, I was not using tacticts and I don't have action rush, also I did not notice differences for crit hit and non crit

    You can also use blitz while not in combat to gain AP. It isn't a lot and is likely a bug as I submitted a report on it longer ago than I can even remember.
