[PvP] Am0n's Sin Hybridization Guide [PvP] {Some Vids!}

[Am0n]

for your PA's, work on getting the + dps to whichever weapon type you use. presumably daggers, can get +6.4 dps to any particular weapon type you use. THEN go for all the dex, and only once dex is filled, go for the str.

gunna get a much bigger damage boost this way seeing as a 46dps dagger now is effectively 52.4 dps w/ wrath stone
if you put a whetstone on instead of a wrath stone it could be as much as 57.4 dps on your weapons

fortunately i have alog of PA's so i have dagger dps, sword dps (due to pve, best option is sword for me atm) and all the dex done, half of guns (relic gun) and about half of the str, workin on completing gun dps b4 str, but half of the gun dps points are the same as half of the str points so its convenient.

I don't go for weapon DPS, at least not yet. Different weapons work better for different specs.

Swords> BD because of the AP
Daggers> Specs that want to rely on Poison Procs (yes it is standardized, but the faster the weapon swings the more chances you have to reapply)
Axes>Best DPS.

That is speaking from only PvP weapons, to go for weapon DPS can limit you a bit in other specs. I'll cap dex then go back and get some of the Weapon ones.

If I played enough to have that much PA I would probably do the same thing as you though.

well this isnt quite right

(not including relics, which bis is the dagger, so)
the highest ap weapon available atm is a dagger. Molten Brand from RotP, although 2nd highest is the sword from the last boss also in RotP. but if you had both of these, you should use the dagger in MH for swing speed.

ya daggers is right

not sure where you are getting axes being best dps, but axes pretty much suck, theres no relic axes for us and even the top AP axes are sub par to either RotP weap, and beastcarver from murd

so if you are mostly a pvper its not to much of a risk to go full dagger dps then work on dex, then work on str

I disagree if you're using leeching poison the extra chance to proc is well worth the investment. It won't keep you alive, but it will keep you alive longer.

Leeching poison sadly doesn't fit the playstyle and concept of the typical assasine soul. It offers you sustain for longer fights, but PvP encounters with a burst assasine are short.

In other words: Sure, leeching poison heals you, but never when it's needed.

I ment from the PvP weapons. If we couldn't get any PvE, which a lot of PvPers are like. I personally have some PvE gear, but I layed off using it because of all the extra valor. Just have a weapon switch macro now for Rogues that pop Side Steps and Trollicars.

I know I'm coming a little late to the party but I just wanted to say I'm a newly 50'd Rogue and I tried the final variation of your 33/33 spec and holy sheet on a shingle it's the most fun I've had to date in pvp hands down! Totally friggin awesome!

Tyvm for posting that I honestly doubt I ever would have thought to try it.

Peace

Great guide....

I like this spec. I used something similar quite a while ago, it was really fun in open world PvP.

Downside was that you had about 30 seconds of being a tough guy then you're squishy as all hell...

edit: linked wrong spec... lol
