Same problem. Cant log into the game and get past loading screen.

Thanks man. The link you posted is not actually bringing up your spec just the general page.

What spec are you guys using for Balance in PvE? I tend to go with 5/5/31 but that is because I will also play PvP with it. However I am very curious as to what you guys are running. Looking at the parse it looks like you used force technique just a few times. Do you generally just stick with double strike, proc mind crush and shadow strike as much as you can? Along with using force in balance when its up of course as well. It looks like you put in sever force as well Thanks!

Feoktist what spec are you using for balance pve? Will you post it?

I hope most of you realize you lose credibility when you make statements without realistic justification or proof. Not to mention making statements that are not only unsupported but speculative. How about maintain your credibility and wait until these changes have actually been tested. Speculation, regardless of the source is still just speculation and not credible regardless of the source.

Good vid. By far the best fight in there is the solo fight by Lion. That was a wonderful demonstration of skill.

I just wanted to add a couple of pointers. 1. You can make accurate predictions on someone's low self esteem and low self worth based on the number of letters they capitalize during any given post on a public forum. 2. When it comes to teams, and I speak for my mates here, we pick members of our pvp/pve teams not so much based on class but far more based on skill. Yes, there are certain classes/roles we want no matter what but for the most part it is about the skill of the player. I will take a skilled SIn/Shadow over a less skilled sent/mar any day. Skill trumps. 3. Balance is a fine spec. It is fun to play and can be effective in the right hands. Good range abilities and melee. Many of the posts here on this forum are just going round and around about the same silly issues. Please stop feeding rage aholic-trolls people. It makes there bellies big and their heads bigger.

Thank you very much for continuing to post videos and taking the effort that is required to produce these. It can be very time intensive. Well done. I just want to say that I probably speak for many when I say that I believe very little of what I read on this forum. It is frankly, just as bad as any other MMO. I do however, find what you produce to have some validity, due to showing your experience. As opposed to the majority of people that post and boo hoo about Shadows who really cannot validate what they say. It ends up being nonsense and heresay. So again thank you for posting these vids. Shadows/sins are a great class but are even better when the player is really good. Player skill trumps all else. Been this way since the beginning of games.

Deception is a great spec. 1v1 it is the best of the sin tree. Anyone that says otherwise is a news who can't play the spec well. I can top the charts in madness or decep, I admit it is easy itch madness. Qyou are not going to see any darkness spec winning top medals on my server.

I would choose +41 power. It benefits your current spec and any other Sin spec you may choose to play. Power is one, if not the, best thing to spec high in for pve and pvp.

That was a very interesting read. Thanks for doing the math. I will think on it.

How do you know that CT is a dps loss w/o parsers?

I actually find specing 3 points into Duplicity to be very much worth it. I think having a skill that can give me a bit of burst when I need it to be very valuable. I cannot tell you how many people I have killed with a well placed maul+assasinate. granted it is another procing skill you are looking for but it is not that hard. After all we as madness sins get pretty good at looking for tiny little icons eh! I run 7/3/31.

Great vids. Keep them coming they are enjoyable to watch and informative. I like the idea of 3 points into Maul. Good synergy with the raze proc.

I second the above poster. I am curious what your thoughts are about 10/0/31 Madness spec. Have you ever played using a madness spec and what have your observations been?

I find it amazing how few people speak for themselves and assume just because they fail at particular abilities and lack the skill then most do. That is of course a sign of low self esteem and low skill. The presumption that your opinion and experiences can be applied to the whole is nonsense and illogical in and of itself. Please by all means keep talking, so the rest of us gamers who are able to be competitive with lower gear and different specs have some thing to be amused with and laugh at. The previous poster gives away his true intent by not only stating how he did not objectively observe the footage of the video but feels the need to place his unwarranted and unproven biases upon the stage floor and expect others to accept his ideas. I entertained your ideas sir and found them....ridiculous.

That is the most ridiculous nonsense I have read in sometime friend. I did not pvp at all until 50. I have run 10/0/31 since being level 40. What I think you need a healthy dose of is L2P your class man. To think that the only viable spec for solo is darkness is dumb. you most certainly DO NOT NEED a healer to be effective. Wow.... I think you need to watch that video again and notice everytime he gets heals and everytime people come to support him. instead perhaps it is better to notice how he stays alive and plays and perhaps mimic your playstyle on his. Then you might live longer playing this spec. I only solo que and have no problems not only staying alive but being top 3 easy, provided you play your class right. L2P man.

Perhaps you can elaborate how you are "Testing" your DPS. Because frankly, either you are not playing the Madness Spec or Decep spec right or your testing is flawed because there is no way your are out Dpsing those specs with your tank build. IMO considering the skill of the player is the same for PVE Madness seems to be tops at 50.

First of all if you are not playing a Madness sin then stopped posting, you sound ridiculous and lose credibility that you are even playing this game effectively. You know who you are. Secondly I play a Madness Sin and I gleefully take down Sorcs and there equivalents with ease, far easier now with the apparent buffs to the Madness tree. PVP as a Sin is great and you do not need to be any particular class to be effective, just good at playing your class. Anyone that tells you otherwise is not very good. "Those who know don't speak, those who speak don't know." This is painfully obvious on these forums. Even taking stealth out of the equation it is not hard to close in fast on a sorc/counselor if you know what you are doing. The changes to the sin class are excellent and still being tested. So far though, they are steps in the right direction. Madness just became a whole lot better. I cannot speak of the Deception tree as I do not play much in it. I will say though depending on how you play Duplicity is a better choice then Electric execution provided you make the most of it.
