Arinais Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I absolutely love the pvp in this game, but since 1.2 dropped I've been having real issues with deception spec'd sins and the jedi like. I'm almost full battlemaster gear, with the exception of the ear piece and two implants, and wow I don't knnow what it is but sins on my server are literally tearing through my health like I don't even have any expertise. Has anyone else had any problems with this? I'm running deep madness spec for the mobility because I figured stopping to cast as lightning spec is a big kick me sign. Anyways thanks in advance, happy hunting =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carico Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Deception spec is incredibly bursty. It sounds like you're playing sage/sorc. If that's your class, you just need to learn to kite. Deception does very little dmg at 10m, and zero dmg outside that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arinais Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 you are quite correct I am playing a sorc. Usually I'm pretty good with kiting, played a warlock in WoW from 05 to 09. But I can't seem to figure out whats going wrong with deception sins, they pop cloak which only lasts for 2 or 3 secs but in that time they hit me like a truck, they eat through my bubble and burst me down. It's rather irritating when I can usually hold my own against other classes as long as I manage my cds and relics properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carico Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Are you getting interrupted much? If your dmg channel is getting interrupted, start casting heals. We can only interrupt so much, something is gonna get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cempa Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Assuming the Sin is good and has ZERO Resolve you should try your best to run away. If you want to fight 31 Madness is a solid choice against Assassins but has terrible Force Regen so against any good team -meaning you are in combat for over 5 min straight- you will run dry. Another talent that helps is Electric Binding -root on knock back. Again its more of an escape mechanic. ----- One more option does exists but to me Id rather have a root canal because its based on out lasting via healing. Spec 8 into healing and manage CDs and heal fully 2 or 3 times and you might win....but then again he can vanish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordbishopX Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Another talent that helps is Electric Binding -root on knock back. Again its more of an escape mechanic. It's a must for kiting imho knockback move attack keep moving.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegriss Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Wait till you run up against a darkness spec (tank) assasin in full dps gear. Very very nasty build that almost no one uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you high?????? 95% of sins are darkness with stalker gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled-Phoenix Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Are you high?????? 95% of sins are darkness with stalker gear I believe a 'sarcasm' emote was needed in that previous post. And yea, sages are easy pickings for deception sins. I always go for them because i know i can kill them without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
