SOM will proc a hell of a lot more on a ranger than an assasin for the simple fact you will evade a lot more.

mind u if u get 9 procs thats like 1800 extra HP so yer expect to loose.

I counted 15 som procs against papasan once though

it does kind of work both ways its just when its YOUR som working well for you, you tend not to give a shit about it!

The fact is that Rangers will 95% win 1 run every time their timers are up (every 10-15mins). You have to get them in the 5 min WH cool off period :)

I don't expect to win most fights against Rangers that can see me 10 minutes before I see them, who you hit back with damage like they have SoI up, and just when you think you are going to win they IP :p

Just poison the hell out of them, pray for some lucky stuns, poisonspike, and pray SoM doesn't chain proc :>

that really is naive. as an SB u get Phebus and SOM and access to malice and battler. So item timers are the same. You get dot spike every fight, and you can keep the ranger perma debuffed and perma lifebained with say viper 2-3 for added pwn. Peeps talk about IP but those hits you get from that once every 15 mins can be taking off so fast.

Your a decent SB oli but you shouldnt be struggling with rangers at your RR. For me at the moment Eul is setting the standards on being a pipe hitting mofo SB. That guy has ripped me a new arsehole on many occasions and he does it because he knows how to reapply and packs viper. Its scary how quickly you go down to an assasin that keeps your lifebained and debuffed sometimes.

The key factor in victory over an assaisn for me is all about what they do when I purge. If they dont reapply I can stonk them hard and reasonably consistently and suddenly without viper'd lifebain ticking on me and my PD I find I might even outdamage them. Thats in the hands of the SB though its just 90% dont reapply.

and sometimes you lose to assassins with low envenom spec who dont reapply nor have viper , KAPOW ;)

I re-apply everything when people purge :> They get another dose of poison and more ws/con on them usually, but I only have viper1 because I don't like to rely on one ability when I fight assassins a lot and remedy negates it in one fell swoop :> Viper3 is lovely, but 30 points is extremely painful.

And yes, SB's get timered abilities, but at the end of the day, if a melee Ranger hits the SB first (and with MoS3-5 they usually do), and we lose the PA+CD advantage, I would say most fights the Ranger will win unless the SB has PH up and he plays extremely well.

first off its one hell of a poor statement to say most fights the ranger will win if he hits the shadowblade first. In the list of factors which determine outcome that possibly wouldnt even make the top twenty (unless you elaborate and say if the ranger ice storm chains you first then it makes the top 5 maybe).

If you dont like the idea of not getting the jump versus rangers you can go higher MOS. It is viable but it costs you and its worthless versus other assasins. So you make your choice and your live with the outcome.

I take my primary spec line (bow down to zero) to be competative with assasins so maybe you can spend and extra 6 or 10 (?) points for mos3. It will help you if your concerned about the jump (you wont be concerned enough to spend the points but you will be concerned enough to use it as a reason for death)

Most of the factors are about timers to be honest and how often the assasin evades. So you have roughly a 25% chance to evade so thats 1 in 4. Sometimes I fight an assasin and like he evades like 4 on the trot etc, whereas I will sux up everysingle shot (7% evade). But I find versus every assasin I fight Im getting more timers used on me than Im burning. Ice storm openers are my trade mark I always open them and pull of some stonkers (sometimes). I find a MASSIVE amount of assasins pack purge 3 and insta purge it which heavily disrupts completing the chain for a few different reasons (ws debuff, evade potential, and movement). After than I find myself debuffed and lifebained and now we are in a battle or raw damage. In theory I should get out damaged by the SB. WS debuff imo is a tad OP, you tend to hit like a wet lettuce with it up and you miss and get evaded one hell of a lot more with it one. Ill need to purge or i could find myself burning IP or FZ and still getting pwned due to crap damage. So purge sooner rather than later = good idea (maybe). So I l'll blow purge and try and outgun the assasin. Now Im ripe for a evade chain stun (and you will evade ffs) so 7 seconds of getting pummelled at some point and I should in theory be re-debuffed and re-lifebained by now. back to square 1 versus competent assasin. So basically ill fallback on IP or FZ and prolly that will get me through with high PD. But SB can also dump PS on me which I gotta eat in its entirety. so its not really even that clear cut.

I find fights with good assasins for me can really go either way but the contributing factors is what happens when I purge. one thing is though the assains basically gets 1700 points of damage on me that I cant avoid (roughly) 400 hits from con loss maybe another 100 from malice (not counting that though). At least 800 from being perma bained with some viper and 500 from the DOT (dont dot before I purge). If the assasin isnt stupid I cant avoid that damage. So you think really how many times he has to actually hit me to take me down.

Assasins damage output with lifebain and viper is sick imo. you can harp on about melee rangers which are good assasin killers with timers but assasins will definetly be the fotm stealther for the remainder of the game if things stay as they are. They just own. If they didnt peeps wouldn't play them so heavily.

bit like swinging an LW at an assasin that evades 10+ in a row, piss annoying but there is nothing you can do about it, crappy mythic random number mechanics. swings and round abouts, the next time i fight them i could parry 10 in a row etc :)

quite a long time since disease stopped working vs IP, tho the con debuff/malice debuff makes you regain alot less hits :)

I think your lack of skill is probably a bigger factor than som.
