Again im not entirely sure but i was under the impression you only got the haste effect from using LA styles, so with left axe as low as 20 your going to have to rely on Ravager chain, which aint great but better than nothing i suppose, but anyway imo 39 Left axe is the lowest it should be, Frosty Gaze is well worth the points spent, even tho it is hard to pull off

You get the haste effect from duel weilding, and dont have to use LA styles

For me is gonna look like this

44 axe
44 left axe
37 cs
33 ste
what ever is left in env.

Zapsi

 

[Lubricador]

yes 34 cs fortehwin!!!1111oneoneone or however you want to call it,imo after PA-CD you can use other styles like snowsquall, glacial movement or something with effects that will help you in combat .

im not sure how will be my spec next patch but i will put only 34 in cs for sure and at least 39 LA, anyways if the class is unplayable like some guys cry on usa i will play my savage

Looks like Ill carry on playing my SB...one thing im worried about is those gits Mythic sticking an evade stun on one of the weapon lines.

Anyway, if it stays the same ill probably go for (with Auto train to 28):

Ste 35
Swo 45
CS 39
Env 35
Left lettuce 20

Dont know if it will work or not - im only gonna be using my second blade to whack some more poison on...and if i chuck some dualist reflexes on it I reckon i could build it up ok. Please feel free to slag this off

Why take sword to 45? I'd take it to 44 and put the rest into LA

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

Also I think that this would be a viable template for less - hardcore people, who aren't going to get rr6 anytime soon, and who don't have hours to burn farming cash for MP/farming for l337 items so they can +11 everything ><

38 stealth
39 Axe
44 Left Axe
38 envenom

Just cuz I'm lazy ><

Also, afaik LA styles will still outdamage the CS ones by 15% or something, so I can't see why you'd want to use garrotte etc anyway.

Sadon, LA will only outdamage CS styles IF you first spec to GET the styles, and then BECAUSE you specced to get them.

The only styles that matter in the LA line are Snowsquall, Comeback, Frosty Gaze and Icy Brilliance imo and if you got access to eitehr chain your at least 39 LA spec, possibly 44.

With Low LA you wont have the styles and CS styles WILL outdamage the LA ones, as will Axe/Sword styles

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

hence 44 la ;P

 

[old.Emma]

There is no good spec for SB`s in 1.62.. Either way you spec infs or shades will still do slightly more damage than you and in 1.64 if the new 16.5 dps weapons stay as they are. Infs and shades will out damage SB`s even more.

Well as most assassins are putting pts in CS, iam gonna spec my sb without any CS, basically rebuilt SZ

You don't often cross an assassin that will land PA on u anyway so maximazing the dmg output ;p

So my spec is either :

- 50Sword (higher weaponskill (evade less from others etc + ragnarok)
- 39LA
- 34Stealth
- 34Envenom

OR

- 44Sword
- 44LA
- 35Stealth
- 35Envenom

Im eager to see the results, i just hate playing a critblade

That spec should negate the la nerf
