What tree to levelling Darkness or deception?

[Aryslan]

I have searched and know that for PvP the Darkness/madness spec is one of the most infamous and useful.

 

Thing is for levelling, PvE purpose, what build is recommended?

 

I have seen deception based spec with some points in madness and darkness, a madness based one too, and such.

 

What kind of tree do youuse for levelling?

I had an assassin when the game launched and rerolled because i found deception tree (my favourite for armor penetration, positioning, static charges and such) somewhat weak. Dont know hows the current situation.

 

Any advice?

I started out in Deception but found I was dying entirely too often so i rerolled Darkness and havent looked back. Deception might be ok once you get Talos but I plan on sticking with Darkness.

Deception does the trick for me

Thats the deception built i found, and i am more inclined to stealth and positional based attacks, its more fun to me tbh, but i also remember a lot of deaths, of course i didnt know much about the class and the system.

 

But now i am lvl 20 darkness based with the 3 points in madness for the melee crit buff, and must say the class feels like a powerhorse, i hardly get to low hp.

 

Will try some more the darkness spec, at least until i get dark ward and energize and see if the dps raises some, which should.

 

thanks for the tips!!

I leveled as madness up until the early 30s then switched over to darkness and never looked back.
