Shade specs, plz help

[Belle Donna]

Hi, im having a few problems atm with my shade and am afraid ive gimped myself. Atm im lvl 47 and my specs are : 31 stealth, 41 pierce, 39 CS, 30 envenom, and 0 CD. i Think ive gone too high in pierce but has any1 got any suggestions as to what i can do to get a good spec still?

 

[lusche]

Well i play an NS too and when i reach 50 i will go for this specc:

cd 25
env 38
pierce 39
cs 39
stealth ~36

stealth depends on how far i autotrain, dont think i will take it up to 48 )

To your problem, its not that bad actually you have to put cd up 0 its well a bit LOW!

 

[dangle]

you havent gimped yerself at all at the moment my spec is 44 CS/peirce, 34 stealth, 35 venom, 9 CD, sure the CD is low but when i get my sc suit ill have +16 as well as duelist reflexes lv 2, and i love this spec but i am a firm beleiver that high weapskill is very very important, whereas some ppl prefer the more balanced spec, like 35 stealth, 34 venom, 39 peirce, 44 CS, 21ish CD, imo these 2 specs are best way to go for a ns, oh well hope i helped

 

[[PS]Fool]

I went for 35 env 36 stealth 30 CD 39 pierce/Crit strike, and i do fairly well. if i could change anythin i would drop CD down a bit, an raise Crit, but with the comming patch that might fix cd, i think this is a good spec for the mo. oh an i auto trained till lvl 44


Foolish

 

[censi]

if its your main i would go rr7 specc

33 stealth (50)
33 env (50)
44 poke (61)
39 CS (56)
26 CD (43)

for roughly every 15 points of CD you have over base you will get an extra 10% chance to swing left arm. Capps at 65% total I think.

With 43 cd you have 25%+ (0.68X43)=== dunno about 50%

So this specc means you are gonna be about fully maximised in melee. Its better imo to not get 50 poke and drop the CD down. With this much CD you will swing your left arm about 25% more than a 35/35/44/44/5cd standard specc NS, giving you noticably more damage out put in those drawn out melee encounters. With Mop2/3 and that extra offhand swing chance damage your damage output will be good even for a rat.



The real elite NS's out there may even wanna consider a rr8 or rr9 specc

the total elite rr9 specc would be summin like

31 stealth
31 env
50 poke
20 cd
39 CS

I dont think its worth taking CS upto 44. The CS damage capp increase isnt much, and generally if you land you PA and creeping death your opponent is gonna be in a bad way.

 

[Belle Donna]

Thnx all for the help! ive decided after sum discussion to go for 44 cs + pierce, 35 venom, 34 stealth, rest cd, thnx again.

 

[censi]

that spec is pretty standard.

I still think with 5 CD though you will suffer in those fights with other assasins where u arnt PA'ing each other...

I would only take CS to 39 and put rest in CD

 

[Karlo]

Depends how ya wanna play it.

Believe it or not 50 CS with max stats really does owbn, just gotta be damn skilled.

Get that with the Vanish RA, PA, CD, SS, Vanish, PA,

they'd prob be dead before youve laneded the 2 sec stun anyways.

I think it might be quite fun to try that sorta spec

 

[Spamb0t]

too bad NSs cant get vanish huh ......................

 

[dangle]

there is actually quite a difference between 39 and 44 CS, i had 39 in my original spec, and the PAs was noticably worse than they are now, + at 44 u get the extra style which is really nice damage

 

[healer_mcheal]

mines something like...

42 peirce,
44 crit,
34 env,
37 stealth (NEED respec)
was about 12 or so cd

 

[Aloca]

Mine
35stealth
35piercing
44cs
27cd
35envenom

if i had a skill respec i would probably respec my 27 cd so i get 44 in piercing.

 

[Belle Donna]

kool, ty Aloca, i was just wondering if 34 or 35 stealth better, because at rr5 wouldnt the extra point just be waisted

 

[Rhodo_Stoney]

Still 2 lvls to go for my NS, but at 50 my specc will be:

34 stealth
44 CS
42 pierce
34 envenom
18 CD

 

[crd]

I would prolly go for
35 stealth
19 CD
44 CS
40 pierce
35 envenom
(autotrain to lv8)

 

[magol]

34 stealth - 31 env - 45 cs - 45 pier - 13 cd

rr6 spec

 

[froler-mid]

34 stealth/env/CD

34 CS

rest in pierce, 41+


34 CS gives u PA+CD, and with rr and items a 700ish PA cap.

34stealth/env/CD gives u 50 at rr6.

41+ pierce gives some weaponskill

 

[Cloak_]

Atm I got:

38 Envenom
38 Stealth
44 Crit Strike
39 Pierce
11 CD

and I like it


Hit a PA once for 1368 dmg, wish id taken screeny

 

[old.Cher]

working off a rr5 template, by the time i have that and lvl 50 we'll have respec stones anyhow, so u can respec as u hit the higher rr's

i'm currently heading for

35 stealth
35 envenom
44 cs
43 pierce
rest cd

i kinda screwed up and put 10 into cd early on so can't get 44 pierce as well.

but no matter, Mop2 makes up for that

 

[k9awya]

cher rox

 

[Belle Donna]

OK well, i'm lvl 50 now, and did go for the 44 cs + pierce, 35 venom, 34 stealth option (with 8 or 9 cd). Tested it a little in rvr and seems pretty good )

I know a shade with a similar spec to this, but slightly more env and stealth, 33 in each I think, and less CD. The damage output kicks ass, 1 on 1 unstealthed he can kill most people.

Thats not my spec though

 

[Slinker]

Come on then Ebonn spill it

 

[iziz-minx]

spank thats very close to my spec 50 poke is not uber at all i would call it a waste would respec to 44 and spread points in other skills

 

[Kobold]

Many interresting views and specs here. MY NS are soon to be 50 aswell, and I'm aiming for: 44CS 39pierce 37stealth 38env rest CD

might be lowering stealth and env by one, but then again I wanna use lifebane asap and 49 in stealth I can live with a little bit

Yeah dont think I'd bother speccing 50 pierce on my NS, but I'm not high RR unlike the person I was talking about. But still that 50 piercing damage does kick ass.

 

[old.Striglen]

sounds like my spec.
