A/D Overpowered in PvE

So I made an assassin when factions came and beat it and soon deleted the character because assasins in pve at that time failed. Two years later I'm glad to say I love my assassin that I made to days ago for mainly for PvP.

This is what I'm running. http://gwshack.us/b9695
Weary Strike Mystic Sweep Critical Defenses Assassin's Remedy Way of the Assassin Way of the Master Critical Eye Critical Agility
yea no res sig... xD

What I found is over 100% chance to crit (and yes I have tested it for 5hrs last night in factions)

I was tanking at lvl 17 xD.... people were like WTH... lol.... everytime you swing you gain 4-12 energy, critical defense refershes its 75% chance to block and critical agility refershes your armor buff and 33% attack faster buff. It is true god mode till your enchants get stripped.... even then with all the energy you gain back you can easily put them back up.

I am running it with 620 health and 25 energy. Just wanted to share for all those wierd assassin builds i see in pve... (no joke i had a assassin with prot spirit, rof, and divine intervention in my team T_T)

my weapon ... just felt like sharing it is huge good looking and cheap (FREE ... pic from wikia)

It's not 100%, they stack exponentially not ... additively? You have to multiply their differences from 100% to get the real percentage.

But that's still an ownage build.

The description says that it's an "additional" or "+", so it may just add to the total amount to crit during an attack. Also, 12 scythe mastery gives a +17% chance to crit.

17(scythe mastery)+15(critical eye)+31(way of the master)+33(way of the assassin) = 96

A/D is overpowered in general, most notably in PvP. If you can hold agro with Critical Defenses then you're just going to tear shit apart.

Enchantment removal owns you.

But still, if I were to make a sin for PvE, I'd use that.

try malicious strike in that build, OP ^^

(maybe even replace wearying with wounding strike, and way of the assasin with malicious, but thats a whole other story(not that i dont like it like this o.o)

I absolutely hate A/D's

MS/DB is the closest to Scythesin anyway.
Except Scythesin isn't dependant on a flimsy chain that is screwed on blocks / missing in general.

no but the ms/db sin is speed killing.

There is no such thing as over-powered in PvE.

Anyway, I'd rather take Wounding Strike or Reaper's Sweep. Or other useful elite.

Quote: There is no such thing as over-powered in PvE. So true

I normally bring the derv factions skill, I heard thats broken and does way more % than its supposed to. Normally have my elite as wounding strike for spammable deep wound. Its easier than having to keep reaaplying assasins remedy, and you can also add in eremites for another quick attack.

This build is old as dirt though, why did you post it...?

crit 12+1+1
scythe 12

wounding strike
mystic sweep
erimites attack
critial agility
way of the master
critical eye
aura of holy might
res

thats what i use to great effect. holy might + scythe crit is brutal.
