Thanks! I just figured that it would be sad for anyone else to go through what we did when tideborns first came out =] atleast now people can read this and know what they're getting into when they make an assasssin ^_^ haha"Stay cool, be respectful, know your limits, and accept it when you've lost....

Not a bad guide. I don't care for deep sting as much as you but nearly everything else I'd say is accurate. I disagree on a few of the * levels but most of that is a matter of preference. A nice guide all in all.
And yes, interval sins are expensive but GOD we are sexy. I'm only at 2.5 attacks/sec when hell sparked and the damage is incredible. IMO, skill spammers are going to have a very difficult time endgame when competing with high levels in good gear. Heavy armors especially. Interval is where it's at for endgame pvp.0 -
hey and i completely agree, swagger =] those sage sins are gonna be incredible though
take a look at this:
1. all gear with diamond of tigers: 24 attack levels (if they come out with +2 diamonds.... rofl, 48)
2. genie skill "frenzy": 20 attack levels
3. Chill of the Depths: 35 atk levels
~@~Total: 79 attack levels (potentially 103 attack levels, ffs lol)
sage dagger mastery: 60% -> 90% increased damage
combine all this with the killer aoe(3spark->powerdash->subsea->BRAMBLERAGE) or skill spamming target controllage combos and man... those are some incredibly high dmg spikes, rofl. both 1v1 AND aoe damage. lol yea, its just something to look forward too ^_^
please don't nerf us.... i beg of you..."Stay cool, be respectful, know your limits, and accept it when you've lost....

Oh no doubt they'll kick out some big numbers. But comin out with nothing but DoT's and poppin frenzy is asking to be 1 shotted by the first person to send an arrow your way. It would be fun for dropping one person here and there but in a group pvp situation or against a barb with decent gear, a build like that will go nowhere fast. Interval is more flexible. An arcane armor caught off guard wouldn't have a prayer against a sage sin with the build you describe, but they really have no better shot against an interval sin. It's like I saw Trawne say elsewhere. Chill/sage sins are good for killing squishes. Interval builds are good for killing everything. Interval is just expensive and irritating to gather XD0

ahhhh i see i see. so what you mean is that vit later endgame is going to be very necessary in survival then. makes sense. those other full nirvana guys are gonna be tough to take down as well then rofl."Stay cool, be respectful, know your limits, and accept it when you've lost....

this wont work without a few more skills (and an apoth pot)
Either: 2 spark (199 chi) > wolf emblem (204 chi) > power dash (4 chI)> Inner Harmony(204 chi) > Subsea > bramble rage > earthen rift.
or: 3 spark (99 chi) > wolf emblem (104 chi) > inner harmony (304 Chi) >power dash (104 chi)> Apoth Chi Pot > Subsea > bramble rage > earthen rift.
Better use would be this: Maze steps > wolf emblem > power dash > inner harmony > subsea strike > bramble > stealth
with this anyone who didnt die wont be able to stop you from escaping.
also, being a nuke sin doesnt mean you have alack of vit or hp. if you're thinking about frenzy, you just have almost 0 mdef/pdefI hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of title, the character of an honest man. -George Washington0 -

yea, i kept that combo exactly for that reason: BROAD because no matter what kind of combo i make, theres going to be someone out there that thinks/knows another better way. so just generalizing it like this invites people to get creative with what they got ^_^ haha but good idea none the less!"Stay cool, be respectful, know your limits, and accept it when you've lost....

Taxi I'm pretty sure Velox meant
"(3spark->wolfemblem->powerdash->subsea->BRAMBLERAGE)"
is missing something, or otherwise impossible to execute.
Triple spark leaves you with 99 chi, wolf bringing you past 100, but under 200 so you don't have 2 sparks for Powder Dash.
Those dang oracle/hyper symptoms starting to show! b:mischievous0 -

inner harmony is an assassin skill that instantly gives you 2 sparks ^_^ no casting time... so with that in mind:
1. 3 spark (chi left: 99)
2. wolf emblem (104)
3. inner harmony (304)
4. power dash (104)
5. spark pot (304)
6. subsea strike (104)
7. BRAMBLE RAGE
(Thanks Trawne)
btw skyxiii, im not trying to challenge you or anything =T but please make sure your facts are straight before you even try to start telling everyone how to play their class... much less bash on them, rofl. to everyone else: lol sick isn't it? ^_^
also, i think you read my reply wrong, rofl. read it again. lol"Stay cool, be respectful, know your limits, and accept it when you've lost....

hehe i think you're both missing each other here. pretty sure turbo knows he needed to inner harmony he just didnt write it
and i dont think skyxiii is trying to bash you just point out that you didnt have the chi for the combo you were posting in the guide.I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of title, the character of an honest man. -George Washington0 -

I'm sorry, but you provoked this by telling me to get my facts straight.
"(3spark->wolfemblem->powerdash->subsea->BRAMBLERAGE)"
This can't be executed without IH or pot. That was the only point I was trying to make. If you meant to include either of those in the combo then yes, it works fine.
I wasn't trying to bash, just simply trying to point out the truth.
Either way you look at it, using IH, although being an instant skill, does take time and is significant enough to include in your combo descriptions.
Yes, you are a 9x sin. We used to do BHs together around the 60s-70s, then you shot up to 99 out of no where.
But I am also 9x now, and I haven't spent a penny on this game/hypered/oracled/frost even. That's why it's dangerous for you to tell me to get my facts straight, because my friend, they are indeed straight ~ straighter than the blades you have on your barrier thorns.0 -

1. i've had gutbreakers for a long time now (yur facts are a bit crooked there dude... ^_^ )
2. oracle/hyper symptoms? please =] i created this guide not to boast, but to help inform everyone of the assassin potential.
3. i GENERALIZED that specific combo so that when people see it, they will be forced to MAKE THEIR OWN COMBO, i.e. mixing it up? rofl dude, come on man.
lol and lookie here, this is, word for word, what i said to trawne:
"yea, i kept that combo exactly for that reason: BROAD because no matter what kind of combo i make, theres going to be someone out there that thinks/knows another better way. so just generalizing it like this invites people to get creative with what they got ^_^ haha but good idea none the less!"
rofl dude, and you seriously can absolutely NOT compare a person's skill just by the way they lvled up. ok, i know alot of people are angry at oracles and hypers (turbo only used 15 oracles to get from 98-99, just so you know) being abused so much and not being able to use their toons to their full potentials. i mean, you got 8xs and 9xs running around not knowing what some skills do! and its aggrivating, i know. but please do not ever again judge or rate a player just by the way they lvled up. its just rude, lol."Stay cool, be respectful, know your limits, and accept it when you've lost....

Again, over and over, you misunderstand my posts.
1.I never mentioned the duration of which you had gutbreakers for - so how does this "crook" my facts?
2. The symptoms thing was a joke. I was teasing you for buying your levels, that's all (hence the friendly emote afterwards). Everyone plays differently. You play your way, I'll play mine.
3. I must have missed the point about you saying that the combo was "general". I didn't know what you meant by terms like "broad" and "general", because I am not used to seeing combos posted like that. I guess this was a misunderstanding.
Lastly, to claim there is no correlation between player skill and the way they leveled up is just silly. Don't take my word for it, ask others.
I wasn't trying to say you have no skill because you bought levels - I was saying I didn't buy levels, so please don't say I don't know the facts because indeed, I do.
I hope you will stop misunderstanding my posts for I have made these points as clear as I could.0 -

Is this true? i saw something about a 'mini meal' the other and was like 'wtf?!'
on topic: anyway my sin will be following this guide
b:pleased0 -
Power Dash*****
Range 4.5 Meters
Mana 240.8
Channel 0.4 seconds
Cast 0.8 seconds
Cooldown 30.0 seconds
Weapon Daggers
Requisite Cultivation Transcendant
Deals a damage equals to your basic physical attack plus an extra amount of physical damage.
Increases your Critical ChanceLasts for 8 seconds.
This skill is fabulous. it doesnt matter if youre an interval sin or skill spammer. at lvl 10, for a whopping 8 seconds, this gives you 40% EXTRA CRITICAL CHANCE. yup, i said it. combine this with your damage buffs and AoE skills or your increase attack speed skills and you'll be hitting like a dump truck stacked with turbo. Absolulte MUST at Endgame.
Nice guide but everyone makes the same mistake on this skill
Skill
Power Dash Level 10
Range 4.5 Meters
Mana 240.8
Channel 0.4 seconds
Cast 0.8 seconds
Cooldown 30.0 seconds
Weapon Daggers
Requisite Cultivation Transcendant
Deals a damage equals to your basic physical attack plus
2737.9 physical damage.
Increases your Rage Damage by 40%. Lasts for 8 seconds.
it doesnt increase your crit% it increases your damage you do in crit by .4
Also:
Earthen Rift*****
Range Melee
Channel 0.7 seconds
Cast 1.8 seconds
Cooldown 8.0 seconds
Weapon Daggers
Requisite Cultivation Aware of Coalescence
Detonate the ground under the enemy. Deals base physical damage plus weapon damage to all enemy units within 8 meters.
This skill is realy really good because it doesn't do a fixed amount of damage, but PERCENT instead.
the percent is figured like this
Base attack X 4 = attack damage of earthenrift; so saying you hit a mob normally for 100 damage, with lvl 10 earthen rift you'd hit them for 400 Stack in wolf totem (+.3) power dash (+.4) Subsea (+.3) crit (+2) and spark (ascended spark of +5) and you get a whopping 2980 (based after 100 * 4(earth) points of damage respectively)
Again Great guide!
PS you forgot one type of build and its the solo Sin
Apparently its more difficult to milk a smurf than originally conceived..0 -

if the case in fact that it increased my crit chance was the truth I would crit every 6 attacks out of 10, but I dont, I still continue to crit, every 3. Sorry, it doesnt change it, however when I do crit, my crit attack damage does go up by 872 damage. Further more, crit chance and rage are two completely different stats.Apparently its more difficult to milk a smurf than originally conceived..0

One of the 2 options:
You're **** or you're a liar.
Look at the icon that shows up when you use Power Dash! Its completely different from the one that appears when you use Wolf Emblem.
The icon the shows up with Power Dash is the freaking same one that show ups in another skills the increase Crit chance, like Demon Strenght of the Titans ou Demon Stunning Arrow.

i decided not to reply to him anymore as he's either an idiot or a troll.
as to your Q: Dream Breaker is still not implemented yet. maybe in the next patch with our skills.I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of title, the character of an honest man. -George Washington0 -
