I'm interested in hearing some comments on the more obscure 30/0/21 build.

Assasination: Getting to Seal Fate 5/5.
Evis, Malice, Murder, Ruth, Relentless, Lethality, Vile: maxed
Cold Blood

Combat: nothing!

Subt: Getting to preparation
Cam->Opp->imp amb (for effectiveness vs cloth)
Imp Rup 3/3 (with the specific purpose of spamming 3cp ruptures into fighters)
Init: 4/5

Against fighters: stealth->ambush, sinister, gouge, rup, vanish, cheapshot, sinister, prep, rup, vanish, cheapshot, sinister, cold blood, evis. Most likely a tea thrown in somewhere there...

Cloth: Stealth->Ambush, Gouge, Sin, CB, Evis

All comments about pvp effectiveness are appreciated; both 1vs1 and raid. The goal of this build is to be as effective as possible against fighters while still being able to squish mages.

ambush is from rear gouge is from front. you have to be very fast moving otherwise its time enough for mages to blink away from you or priests to insta fear you.

You aren't taking into account the "oshit" factor. Nobody is going to react instantly to being ambushed.

My thoughts on this are exactly that; no matter how quick they are with clicking fear/nova/etc, they probably will need at least one second to react...that one second is more than enough to get into position for a gouge. It is a valid concern, though, against the best players. Any other comments on how this build would hold in pvp?
