Anyone???

Personally, if I were going the Ass/Sub lines I would focus more on BS and Ambush since I would most likely be using daggers. What weapons did you have in mind?

Every build has its strengths and weaknesses so yours could be argued all day. It's really up to you as far as what you want to be able to do.

If you do plan on going sword/mace or some other alternative to dual daggers then I suggest coming up with a build using Ass/Combat. That's my personal opinion from experience. It's best if you get out there and figure it out for yourself.

I completely agree. I will be getting the game today at some point. I was just wanted to get some opinions from people who are already playing the game. After that it is up to me to figure out what i really want to do. Anywho thanks for the reply, and i will be posting more as i need questions answered or advice.....

If this is a build to level with, get your Imp. Sinister Strike and then climb the assassination tree all the way to Seal Fate in my opinion. Then put points in the Combat tree until 60.

You can respec to the final PvP template when you are done unless you plan to do a lot of PvP along the way (even then, that build is pretty damn effective).

But if you are going Sword/Mace for mainhand and dagger off, you want the abilities like Lethality, Remorsless, Improved Eviscerate, Malice, and Seal Fate that really make that build rock.

Last night while working through 39, I killed a level 37 MOB before it got a 2nd swing on me (and that happens about 10% of the time for me on those MOBs with no armor). Crit Sini (gave 3 combo points; bug?), Crit Sini, 5 point Evis. Took about 4 seconds to do close to 1,500 damage.

With Remoresless Attacks I open with double crits like that about 10% of the time.
