ive finally made a sin that i can keep up with, but the reason i make so many alt sins and psys is coming back. the reason is sins r very squishy and even w/ pots from my apoth skill, its just not cuttin it. i know they r at the early lvls and dont really get "un-squishy" unless ur rich, 4 socket all ur gear and HP shard it. but being only lvl 25 right now, im loosing sight of the awesomness of being a sin. just a little sinner spirit would help alot b:victory thx guys :D

    that's what she said... ooooooh

    No but really. Look into life powder. All you need is your apothecary skill, 15 golden herb and 10 nectar... or 15 nectar and 10 golden herb... but it works.

    I used it a lot on my wizard and survived because of it.

    Easy way to be a sin --> Kill stuff before it kills you. Its very rough being a sin until around your 30's when you get bloodpaint. Just gotta stick through it.

    4 sockets and hp shards do help, but your ability to survive has more to do with your playstyle, than how many times you swipe the visa.

    As has been said before, your goal is to kill before being killed. Use your stuns, learn how to maximize your damage output, avoid getting attacked by multiple mobs, etc..

    Use shadow jump and tackling slash to quickly get inside the 1/2 damage range of archer mobs, and keep them from running away.

    Deep sting magic mobs to interrupt their channeling.

    Puncture mobs before sleeping them so you can let SSS cool down before finishing that mob off.

    Sins are a very technique oriented class. If you want to **** away at mob after mob without having to do much beyond hitting attack, then this is not going to be the class for you.

    Well first off, you're level 25, it's been a long time since I poked around a pvp server but at that level I believe you're essentially safe from pk.

    Don't shard hp until you expect to be mixed in pvp, for the first 29 levels garnet sharding will feel much more beneficial to you, once you hit 30 you get your first bit of rank gear anyway and you can hp shard that if you would like.
    I can see what you see not,
    Vision milky, then eyes rot.
    When you turn, they will be gone,
    Whispering their hidden song.
    Then you see what cannot be,
    Shadows move where light should be.
    Out of darkness, out of mind,
    Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.
