GekoKujo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xancath Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why aren't there more madness pvp videos? It's such a unique play style with obvious viability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have the burst DPS or survivability of the other specs is the main reason. Simply put, it's currently the runt of the assassin spec litter.

Simply put, it's currently the runt of the assassin spec litter. Madness is not about burst in the first place, however it still does spectacular at brining down your opponents. Just because it is the runt for you don't mean that other can't excel at it. @OP: TYVM for this video guide I was deception spec before this and since I took to madness spec I have been wrecking people twice as fast, I pulled alot of info from your video and adapted it to my play style.

Blarginflarg Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Glad someone is getting madness the props it deserves. I wan't to do a video so bad but i just can't with my connection. I have been playing 5/5/31 madness sense release. Its an amazing spec with great utility but i think people get scared of the amount of abilities you have to use to be effective. Good job on the vids man. Hopefully i can try to get one up here someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migrayn Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 How do you jump to the side wall near the air vents in huttball. You seemed to do it at will and not reliant on the air stream. I can't get anywhere near high enough to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xancath Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I think only certain body types can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyesar Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah, think it's quite simple with body type 1 or 2 afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY Thats not the point nor does it address the question asked. Please read what i replied to for the context of the post. The question was why don't more people play madness, the reason, as i said, is because it doesn't provide the survivability of Darkness or the burst of Decpetion. I never said it wasn't any good, just that currently it's the least used of the three specs for group and/or solo pvp for these reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to answer his question... you did that with your first line about the other 2 specs. I was simply defending madness as you referred to it as the "runt" which is normally the "weakest". Least used or not was not even in my mind, as you should play what is comfortable to you and most people who do play assassin play with a more melee tuned mindset where madness is alot of casting compared to the others.

magipkup Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I heard you talk a bit about changing from 10/0/31 into 7/3/31 mual-madness build. Can you provide me a link or any insight why you decide to change ? In my opinion thrash is better then maul since you can use it asap without positioning requirement (sometime you cannot get to behind opponent in 1 GCD window if they keep rotating around you while u try to run to their back) and have more chance to proc raze since maul is 1 hit and thrash is 2. Thrash is even more dps with 4 pve set bonus (if someone will use it in pve that is). There also many problems I run into while running this spec and want to ask for your advice 1. I lose to burst class, such as deception assassin or powertech or backstab operative. I simply die.. first. Self heal is a bit useless if battle is ended in a few seconds. 2. I cannot bring healer down in time, if 1-1 with healer I will always win since they will run out of resource but their friend often come help in time. Also impossible to bring healer with tank guarding down at all (2dps versus tank+healer combo, not a 2-1 fight). I'm new battlemaster so all my armor is not BM yet but all are champion level and above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordbishopX Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Played deception, Darkness and now madness man death fields hitting for 3k+ is pretty sweet Still trying to adjust to discharge having no cool down lol. Mad damage in wz and actually find it's not bad one on one and even going dc mode is still very capable of racking up medals without issue. I am liking it just wish at times death field was just on me instead of 2 clicks lol but the range is nice.

Moaning Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) So after seeing these i tried jumping onto the ledge next to the airflow in huttball only to fail miserably every time. WTH?! Also I switched from deception to madness and i'm definitely loving it, so thanks for giving me the push to do that through these vids!

Dinity Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The madness build relies ALOT on your gear. just some info i've gathered since if u do have good gear the madness tree is AWESOME if ur deathfield does less than 2.3-2.4k crits on people in warzones, u shud not be playing madness yet... Or atleast thats my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
