What are the ideal shards for a sin at endgame taking into account i would be doing more PvP than PvE.

    VIT : Assassins like Archers gain more HP from VIT than casters , thus VIT stones are slightly welcome.

    DEF LVL : you need this for any PVP you will do.

    ATTACK LVL : you don't need those , and never shard them on weapons (just in case this horrible idea came on your mind , a kitty could die)

    Full vit stones only grant about 3k. You'd benefit far more from DoTs or DoDs/JoSDs.

    If we're talking full aps gear and r9 daggers i'd suggest a DoT/Vit stone mix (mostly vit)


    If we're talking about full r9 then shard DoTs. (Shard JoSD and I will kill you. <_<)

    JoSD first.
    Vit stones second or DoT depending on current weapon.

    The issue is with sac strike weapons the higher your hp the more you lose per zerk so Vit stones are a double edge sword, where DoT help with that.

    Ideal endgame shards would be : JoSD, vit stones (actually the 150 hp citrines, but meh) or DoT.

    Usually, it's :
    DoT, if you consider you got enough survivability (only damage armor shard around)
    JoSD/vit, in any other case. Overall the JoSD are better, especially since you might end up with a zerk-type weapon. But vit stones are cheaper, give a little advantage in some cases and some armor parts might not be high grade enough for JoSD.

    Since you talk a pk, JoSD would probably be the ultimate choice. Maybe a 50/50 mix with DoT depending how serious you are on the pk area.

    Ofc, garnets in weapon xD

    My weapon will either be second or 3rd stage vana.
    If i have the budget i will shard JoSD if not then probably DoD or DoT.
    Thanks for the advice guys

    Once i reach lvl 90 i am going to be lvling very slowly so do you think i should get hit man legend or just stick with hook and thorn until i get ocean supreme?

    i dont think it's worth it. either refine h+k or use the morai daggers @lvl95.
    the plus with h+k is that you can have nice refines/shards at lvl80 AND sell them later while with morai you can just +3 them.
    you only purge once #yopo

    Stick with H&T until you can use oceans. If you can get the Pixie Pincers Morai g13 daggers, then those are a bit better than H&T PvE wise.
