Wulfra Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Basically title. I run a deception assassin, and I do fairly well in pvp. Im trying to find an alternate build that is viable in pvp. I've tried darkness for survivability, and a hybrid spec for damage. But I have been wondering lately about whether or not a madness pvp spec would be worth the trouble. So I submit this query to both assassins and shadows alike. Do you run madness/balance for pvp? Why or why not? (I fear I may not be able to anyways, I almost have full BM stalker gear). Any insight would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahhmyface Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've yet to come up with a good spec. I tried, but deception is so damned useless without voltaic slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty_Flacko Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I play madness but i used to play deception up until around 70 valor-ish. It made my dps jump up a few 100k. my spec is 7/3/31. I also use stalker/force-master for the extra self heals. It's a fun spec, you have to keep a close eye on the procs all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killaknight Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hey i play a shadow, in kinetic combat spec (tank mode) but for pvp i where all stalker gear, i get the survivability and very high DMG 400k+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafy_Bug Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) My favourite shadow spec is 2 31 8 as it hits high every time. Since 1.2 I played 31 0 10 as it is the most useful build for teamplay. I have tried a hybrid spec for force imbalance but slow time is one of the most usefull skills and giving it up is not an option. I hope you enjoy the above spec but I do recommend the 31 0 10 as it gives a lot of survivability and a lot of damage if you use Stalker gear like me .

What's your build? Cookie cutter kinetic? Or a hybrid Edit: 31/0/10 huh? Might give it a spin. Edited May 14, 2012 by Wulfra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
