CBRGhostRider Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Very cool! What specs do you play most? I noticed a few different hybrid specs in there... Ilum 1v4 at 1:40 was epic! Very nice. I'm bored sick of full deception, so I'm leveling my another toon w/ hybrid darkness/madness now. I think I like it much more than deception, w/ more utility and survivability, and good damage.

If your sick of Deception, you should try 12-31-3 (Dark Maul). You run in Dark Charge and guard healers, you still get Exploit Weakness so you basically get 2 Maul procs every 10 sec. You take advantage of all the defensive talents in Deception tree, but piggy back them with the defensive bonus of Dark Charge. Energize and Crackling Blast have some wicked synergy as their crit bonus stacks to 100% when using Recklessness. When Chain Lightning procs and crits, like it always does with Reck buff, I do over 10k dmg, almost 11k. Not bad damage for a single target instant cast ability. Electric Execution will reset your Recklessness buff even though you are in Dark Charge. Not uncommon for me to hit 700k dmg and 250k protection in WZ's with this spec. That 700k damage is no aoe or dots, its all 5k-10k Shocks and 4k-8k Mauls. Its alot of fun, most do not expect the burst from an Assassin in Dark Charge. This spec does suffer from some bad force management, but with some practice and skill you can work around it to always have the force you need to burst people down.

Thanks in advance http://www.swtor-spy.com/skill-tree-calculator/sith-assassin/11/?build=022330001100000000000000000000000322230021102030221022000010000003000000000000000000000000000000&ver=20 This is the spec I run. In the Darkness tree the only real talents your chasing there are Disjunction and Energize. The other points you can play around with as you like, but personally upping the damage on your Dark Charge proc is pointless, the damage is so weak it isn't worth the 3 points. As far as its proc rate, you already have a 50% chance to proc it with an internal cd of 4.5 seconds. Increasing the proc rate isn't going to make it proc more, your still going to proc it within the first 1-2 globals after your 4.5 sec cd.

The fact that you can play it in dark charge is a big plus for me, since I am liking the survivability of DC. I'm guessing you still run w/ shield for guard and a bit of shielding right? As far as force management, you still get dark embrace and darkswell. Sure, we miss out blood of the sith and the reduction in shock cost through induction, but I'm guessing it shouldn't be too bad. I will give it a shot for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm....if you are running a DPS build...even with Dark Charge you don't get a lot out of lightning reflexes....maybe try either swelling shadows or 2/3 of electric execution? It seems this spec wastes a LOT of points in doing things for Surging charge. Also, you don't need a Shield for Guard only be running Dark Charge. I pvp in a darkness dps spec for which I wear no shield. Edit: Before anybody asks.... http://www.swtor-spy.com/skill-tree-calculator/sith-assassin/11/?build=002330231120023002100203120200100320200000000000000000000000000003000000000000000000000000000000&ver=20 Edited July 26, 2013 by namkcas Added Spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
