I did try this out in the pts after you hinted at this build in another thread. I am not sure what makes in better after next patch though? Is it because empower lasts longer or is there something else at play? I tested it out on some trolls and it is certainly a very powerful sneak attack, but for some reason it wasn't 1 shotting them. I really like how it all happens instantly rather then after the dodge able delay with normal snipe ganking.

I want to test out the idea of a super high hp nb gank build. It would be a standard snipe/simmering frenzy build, but you would go to stage 4 vamp(possibly with vampire lord set as well). This would give you the lowest cost simmering frenzy possible (as pointed out in the one shot one kill thread) and give you super high hp to build massive stacks without needing to invest into healing. I have no idea how effective this would be, but surely it would give you some massive stacks. Should be easy for me to try out, I really doubt vampire lord is expensive to buy and I would just have to adjust my enchants and attributes to hp. It will either hit like a nuke or like a wet noodle due to wearing a magicka set and having low stamina.

All I know is one of us needs to come up with a solid way to gank these dang tank/dps hybrids that are taking over pvp. They can't be both immune to being ganked and be able to burst down normal dps builds. I really hate full on tanks in pvp, but at least they can't burst down normal dps builds. Their tyranny must come to an end. We must force them to either commit to being a full on tank or go back to being a normal dps. The one shot one kill build and my elephant gun build are simply to clunky to be executed in normal pvp scenarios. Got to teach me that top secret technique that hits even harder then that heavy attack.
