Puncture Wound

i took it to 10. it was useful until i hit 60

It doesn't do much damage later on.. if it did more damage per tick it could be worth something ;[ It's amazing during the lower levels, though.

I got it maxed as soon as I could. I use it as a starter usually when grinding.

Puncture Wound > Spark > normal

The extra damage from the bleed just helps the mobs drop a little faster. Useful in PvP in that you can deal damage while you are stunned, asleep, frozen, etc. It has its place. Hopefully it will get better Demon/Sage.

*drools* shorter duration (bleed stacks)

got it from Ark's sin guide so headhunt in what group should it go of priority A.B,C or D.

and Punture Wound at what lv should I leave it since it becomes useless after lv60?

also talking about combos which is the most efficient in DPS and MP less usage from lv30-40?

If you're not sure whether you want to level puncture wound just don't do it and spend time leveling your character instead. Even Windpush is more useful than Puncture Wound. Skills like Rib Strike, Tackling Slash and Throatcut are far better/more important.

I'm lv25 and have lved up P.w everytime should I stop now?

also got windpush lv1 at what lv is it useful to have it?

At your level puncture wound is pretty useful. If you can survive the next several levels without it then save yourself some coin and SP by ignoring it.

As for windpush, it's basically the same as a BM's cloud sprint so I'll just quote Kniraven:

***** Cloud Sprint: Learned at Level 9. Get it. It's you're GTFO skill, your chase down the enemy skill, your hurry over and save the squishy skill, not to mention your God damn it sucks moving around the map; let's speed things up skill.

Personally, I always keep windpush leveled but it's more a matter of preference.

double sparker is you after 59. with inner harmony, rising dragon strike, and tackling slash you can pretty much endlessly double spark when fighting.


puncture wound is a usefull skill when you have CoD up. you'll need it to fill the time when your other skills are on cooldown.

Problem is puncture wound doesn't benefit from CoD as much as most other skills. Usually you shouldn't need it, Twin Strike, Slipstream, Rib strike, RDS and whatever skills you use to pin your target down will keep you busy.

I like to bleed, stun and watch em die

I enjoy Puncture wound as a low aggro/hate skill. Usually prevents me from killing myself. Not much use for me now for things other than that (80+).

where should I leave each skill at what lv if some don't become useful after such lv like Punture Wound at what lv should I stop lving it.

i dont agree with all of that. but raving slash is rediculous to lvl

DoT's are awesome. You may end up using it less and less in PvE (I know I've found myself using it less), but it still has it's random uses in PvE, and it sure helps a lot in PvP. I just love critting on some poor soul who attacked me with Slipstream, Puncturing them, hitting them again, then sleep/stunning them and letting them die to my DoT.


>:D

Skills to level up:

Wolf Emblem

Focused Mind

Rib Strike

Shadow Escape

Throatcut

Chill of The Deep (this one depends but I PvP as much as I can and know the value of using it)

Head Hunt

Shadow Teleport

Dagger Devotion

Sharp Observer (If you are on a PK server you will value this)

Cat-Like Tread

Why do I not mention skills like deaden nerves or bloodpaint? Well level 1 of those until you can afford to max all skills is about all you need early on.

Do you really choose to ignore skills like deep sting and knife throw? I did not ignore them but levelling them past lvl 1 really is not much of a priority. However where you can its never a bad idea to put a level on shadow jump (once again if you are going to pvp).

Are you mad? Why not level punture wound or slipstream strike!! Well because I find I use them less and less the higher I level. Ok yeah mabey I should have put slipstream strike on the list since its one of your best heavy damage skills for quite a while but to be honest its not a skill I find myself leaning on heavily.

What about raving slash? Its raving madness. I actually preferred it when it gave you the speed boost as opposed to slowing down the target! Now I know you are mad! Well not so. As I have learned on the PvP server battles change positions and they are not all 1v1. The problem with a lot of what I read with regards to PvP comments is that they almost always assume 1v1 on the ground without genie skills, pots etc. Thats not real PvP though! So wrt to raving slash I actually liked being able to hit a target (any target) just for a quick speed boost. What will I do with a slow when I got tackling slash, shadow teleport and shadow jump?

Anyway have fun with your sin.

You get money you pay for it. The discussion was not about what you can and cannot afford.
