--------------------------------------

In the first build, I plan on using dual daggers since I will be hitting faster so the opponent is stunned more.
For the second build, I plan on using dual swords with good dmg from sinister being my bread and butter.
Which of these builds will actually work in balance for PvP and PvE at the same time? I dont want to waste gold till lvl 50+ to change talents so I want to stay with one build that gives me bit of the both worlds PvP and PvE.

Also which talents should I go for first? Assasination -> COmbat -> Subtle?

resetting your talents only cost 1 gold the first time.
