lellindil Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Here is the idea for a hybrid build primarily focused on delivering good single target damage with decent survivability. http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/sith_inquisitor/assassin/#::ef4ef8ef7ce3fe4fe2fef2ef2ef4e2f5efef2 Basically it varies from the traditional Darkness/Madness build by fitting Induction from the Deception tree into the build. This should allow better force efficiency. The drawback is the build wastes a lot of points in the deception tree to get there. Do you think that the talent points spent in the deception tree would be worth the force efficiency? Would you stay with Dark Charge or would you possibly change up some talents and use another stance? The alternative build would be Darkness up to Force Pull and Eye of the Storm, and Madness up to Raze. Which is a pretty straight forward leveling / tanking spec. Thoughts?

lellindil Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Any thoughts? The intention is to use the build for leveling, tanking heroics on the way and a bit of pvp, not hardcore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rade_Harkin Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) That's pretty much the build I'm going to be using at 50 (for heavy PvP). I'd suggest taking a point out of Chain Shock in favor of Force Pull though. There's very very little reason to avoid Force Pull just for a 15% proc chance of Chain Shock. I also suggest taking a point out of Shroud of Darkness (1% endurance is nothing) and 1 point out of Thrashing Blades in favor of Lightning Recovery. You'll use Force Speed and Force Shroud all the time so it's a talent that should never be ignored for PvP.

Rade_Harkin Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've lately been considering speccing into Harnessed Darkness (taking the points out of Madness) as that 12% heal is pretty sexy.. the damage of course is also nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lellindil Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 I haven't run any numbers with force lightning + harnessed shadows yet but it seems like the possible opportunity cost is a bit more burst damage with thrash + shock. Its PvE application seems strong though. the 12% healing is nice but the range concerns me if recklessness isn't up. I also like to use recklessness when energize procs anyway for a bit more oomph. I will be interested to hear how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
