End Game Sharding

Posts: 2,843 Arc User
So for an Assassin what would you consider a better set up for sharding? I have specifically been racking my brain about my sin. I have two builds set up and I'm not sure which would be better.
1st Build: Using all +10 Vit Stones in all the end game gear (+10 refines) and sticking with the G13 daggers.
2nd Build: Using all attack shards in all end game gear (+10 refine) and trying to bump up my daggers to G15 with a sac strike and -int. Yes, I would have rank 8 (just to clarify). This is some SERIOUS damage but the HP might be to low.
3rd Build: Using a mix of +10 Vit Stones and attack shards, maybe even jades?, and so that the sin have more damage, but doesn't cut his survivability to much. Probably stick with G13 daggers but who knows maybe bump them up eventually?
Assuming I had the coin to do either one, what you think you should go with, and why?
Do you consider this a good option for other classes?
What else would you think could be a better set up?

b:chuckle Try the 'Sin forum?
I'd go for spike damage personally... But, I've never run a char up that high before, and my 'sin is only level 21. b:laugh So, I'm as interested in this as you are, most likely.101 Sage Sin*/Archer
100 Demon BM*/Barb
96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
95 Demon Wiz/
94 Sage Veno
85 Psy/80 Mystic
And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

neither, spend your credit card on a college education, and not on pixels that will be gone in a few years.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I vote option 2.It's a game and I'm proud to be a stupid fail demon barb!
My EPIC Fail Demon Barb has 40k/48k HP and my stat points are as follows:
VIT 552 STR 310 DEX 60! b:surrender0 -

Kinda applies to any DD class. It's mainly a discussion on what might be best, and how to balance more damage vs. survivability.BladedZero - Sanctuary

Yes, option 2 seems best. A sin will never need the HP anyway, if a 5 APS tanks it is always the BM cuz of his HA. And in PvP you will always sneak up and:
1. own them
2. run
So having full attack would be best i think, you would run less times .Feel free to PM me for help.

I have one, which is why I can afford this game and you can't. kthxbye b:byeKaste - Sanctuary wrote: »Yes, option 2 seems best. A sin will never need the HP anyway, if a 5 APS tanks it is always the BM cuz of his HA. And in PvP you will always sneak up and:

+10s a sin can h ave about 11k HP with full atk shards 81 atk lvls. Problem is mainly getting the rank 8 and the G15 with a -int and sac strike.
Problem is I don't really pk (but I might think about it) so atk to nuke seems silly when my main focus will be for PVE isntances. My sin probably wont be able to always tank 3-3 as easily with less hp though so it's a fine balance. :xBladedZero - Sanctuary

If by having one, you mean being in debt, then yes you've completely outsourced anyone. b:bye[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Hmmmm i'm starting to think that jades might give me more survivability then vit stones hmmmm.BladedZero - Sanctuary

I just started to think that, but even though they can be debuffed i'm thinking you still need a good amount of HP to begin with then go jade. I think a good balance of vit stones and jades might be the way to go.BladedZero - Sanctuary

Also,Traz, what are the odds of getting -.05 and sac strike on G15 daggers? I can refer you to Skippy's thread, where he's at 50-odd reforges and still no god of frenzy. Just some food for thought0

I know, that would be the very last thing I'd ever need if I really wanted to try it. I know AznAssasin got soul shatter, -.1 int, +350hp on his G15 bow first time (lucky bass **** b:shutup). Like I said who knows what will happen. It may take 50 times, or the person can get lucky on the first try. b:surrenderBladedZero - Sanctuary

I'm a 5.0 Sin i tank TT 3-3 with 1 cleric.
I can pretty much solo anything in the game when buffed
I'm full DoT build. with 8.6k hp buffed.
Refined +7-10 gear Int nirvana daggers. (+10 atm working towards +12)
I lack Mdef but i make up with it in dmg.
PvP wise... i can take out a full 6 man squad in pvp like im walkin thru the park.
PvE wise... I can Tank about everything thanks to my BloodPaint. ↑Dmg means more health.
Also... for pvp i can kill a charmed barb thru invoke if that helps b:bye[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I like hearing this thank you. I was going to be more PvE wise to generating coin and was wondering if it was possible to still do 3-3 with DoT and that low of HP. My daggers are +10 atm, and I was wondering how it would go with refines like yours and no extra HP shards. I might just go with full DoT.BladedZero - Sanctuary

If you're going to refine your armor to + 10 then you should have sufficient hp[SIGPIC]http://a.imageshack.us/img714/9433/testoz.jpg[/SIGPIC]

wont be at first, at most +6 to start so i'll still be more squishy then I prefer.BladedZero - Sanctuary
