51sin/15bd + obtaining a good amount of the PvP soul = beast mode assassin. I love ganking on mine too and was a spec I was looking forward to going live .

So guys, where do you put YOUR 15 BD points into with 1.7?

Is that really a question?

I find you get energy starved with Sin/BD.

You got at least 2 HK pieces and the crystal ?
Go use Final Blow instead and move Deadly Dance points into MM for a bit extra ST damage. Free, permanent EW is a killer and together with FB's higher damage beats DD.

That's actually a really good idea. Use two of your Hk relic pieces - preferably two pieces that have the least valor in pvp gear. And the Hk crystal. I'm gonna try that later.

Also I been using 51 sin 15 mm lately. I took 1/1 repelling shot and 1/1 OTD but if you can do without those, just go straight up the left for max dps. Actually I can probably do without repelling shot. I think I'm gonna change around my spec. I definitely want OTD though.

Anyone else having problems with slip away? Seems like I'm always popping out of stealth after using it for no reason.

Use Head & Gloves as they have Hit on them.
You can also run 4pc, as opening with Jagged - Puncture - Impale puts four DOTs on the target.

In any way, I only recommend using Charge and Barrage from BD - rest pure Sin.

Ok I should have put 5 points more into bladedancer but I wanted to be original and used those on marksman.

I want to overcomplicate stuff and that is sometimes dumb.

This seems interesting compared to 51sin/15mm

The summary seems to be

BD:
25% increased attack power to builders/finishers
105% damage to your next 3 attacks from a deadly strike (not sure how this compares to simply final striking earlier however, given assassins has lots of final strike perks)
Side Steps (survival)
Flash of Steel(movement)
Sprint (movement)
Reprisal (added damage0

MM:
25% increased attack speed to everything (including poisons) following a crit (so kinda sorta almost always up, minus an opener)
5% increased damage
25% armor pen
An AoE (Fan out)
Ranged Attack
Ranged Finisher

Its hard for me to estimate what 25% armor pen is going to equate to damage wise. Is there any rule of thumb?

[lgw]

12 BD for...
* Charge
* Rupt
* Sprint
* oGCD builder
(* Dex Buff)

... the passives are o/c gravy, too.

3 MM is enough for
* Range Builder
* Ranger Finisher
* Speed Boost

tested 15 MM vs 15 BD all day and (for me) the tools for pvp / burst dmg seemed to shine alot more with BD.



But in all fairness both specs destroyed in wfs.



Making inf a PA was the single largest buff 51 sin has gotten to date. <3 Trion.

This is getting fixed in the next hotfix.
