@Lexxypwns That's ddiiiirttyyy, good god. Getting the buff before it hits the target. That's cruel, I love it

@Lexxypwns I don't even have max stats or optimal gear yet and it's already pushing 4k weapon damage/ 38k stam out the gate. Not to mention the crit values. Those are out the roof already too.

@Lexxypwns You mentioned you're in Xbox NA, what alliance?

This build is pretty much what was rolling around before update 14. Nothing new here, but its an ideal build to those who are slipping. The downfall is sustain, so you would have to evade efficiently if you're unsuccessful. You would have to stack as much of the buffs to obtain an optimal shot, and since they removed crit damage from stealth its going to require more. I rolled around Bow/DW before changing to magblade. I enjoyed the gank, but it was just that. When I wasn't successful at it I got wrecked shortly after. Now with magblade I can duel most fights, evade when I need to, and I enjoy every moment of it. I enjoyed both resource builds.

@H4RDFOX I think I missed the memo on that one. What do you mean they removed the crit from stealth?

There was a critical damage bonus if you were attacking from stealth. It was removed from the game in order to reduce the effectiveness of one shot ganking.

But it's still possible to snipe from everything I've seen? More difficult yeah, but definitely still viable to gank. From what I've played so far it's still strong

Spriggan's is going to definitely get you to hit harder disregarding a good portion of their armo. Couple that with CA, might of the guild passive, relentless focus, master assassin passive, camo hunter passive, flawless dawnbreaker slot passive, essence of weapon power, accuracy passive, long shot passive, and focused aim. Yeah, that is going to hit pretty hard all at once, and if it doesn't bring them down, you are going to have to go in and finish them off before the CC break with ambush, and whatever else you decide.

My build rotation was Focused aim/ poison arrow/ ambush/ incap stike/ rapid strikes surprise attack/ shrouded dagger. You have to take advantage of the stun as quickly as you can. If that is unsuccessful you are going to have to manage rapid strikes, light/heavy attacks, surprise attack, incap strike, poison arrow. This was before update 14 though. It could be different now, and my build didn't have the fighters guild abilities, or mages guild.
