Archive talk:A/any Siphon Sin

Discussion

 * Modified version of Skuld's now unfortunately forgotten and abandoned build. Siphons pwn face. --Hikari 04:39, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

I like Skuld's more, tbh. Tycn 04:43, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

I use a variant of this and Skuld's for AB and for RA sometimes. I like restful breeze + mending touch for AB. Ghellam 05:16, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

I'm not so sure about this build; it just looks like it's taking A/W SP attack chain and trying make a more balanced build out of it. Problem is, no shadow step means attentive kiters will never get in range for your snare to work. You could probably get kills if there isn't a monk around, but it's slower and lacking the extra punch of Impale. I won't pretend to be an expert on sins, but it just looks a bit mediocre. --Mafaraxas 05:59, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

koreans = lawl.

I like it more than the SP Sin actually, though I find Mending Touch makes for a big improvment, -35 Damage on any melee character is pretty damn frustrating. --Hikari 09:32, 3 October 2007 (CEST) I think that this should have a A/W kind of variant adding some type of increased attack speed of some sort to make this build a little bit better, maybe take out the Rez Sig for a Tiger Stance or something Joshgt2 21:39, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

its got everything it should have but uhh...idk Holy Satish 22:56, 3 October 2007 (CEST)

no shadow step leaves something to be desired also without a speed boost which makes this build lack mobility. Also this build lacks damage in a serious way. Really needs blades of steel.  MasterOf Guild's  00:18, 4 October 2007 (CEST)


 * ... " No Shadow Step " Look in the variants, " No Speed Boost. " Siphon Speed? . " Lacks in Damage " 33% to crit from Siphon Strength and 7 degen a deep wound and a KD is not lacking in damage. " Really needs Blades of Steel " ...it's RIGHT UNDER THE BAR for the love of God! --Hikari 06:51, 4 October 2007 (CEST)

HB tag pl0x? Killing capability, will pwn R/P or any melee cappers, will own other sins solo, prob could work. I'd test it but yeah, computer owned. Rusty The Mesmer 12:13, 4 October 2007 (CEST)

I don't think so. R/Ps have blocking stances, condition removal, and sometimes Throw Dirt. Their degen can alone counteract Feigned Neutrality, and once it runs out, you'll die. D/Ps have the obvious problem, E/Ds have blocking. You can only solo other sins, and that isn't really good enough. Tycn 12:35, 4 October 2007 (CEST)

Well most people run an SP Sin, which only kills things when theyre on the way to cap something and therefore won't defend themselves till theyre at their flagged point. If you put mending touch on this, yes, it could probably kill shit in HB without too much dying worry, but its spike isn't really that fast. Imo this build is a hybrid, Snares and Damage reduction smashed together with a semi potent killing combo, that's what it's meant to be, that's what it is. --Hikari 21:19, 4 October 2007 (CEST)

Under usage it notez that you should have siphon strength on "someone" not noted who just someone it should be the person your attacking becuz you wont have a 33% critical chance rate if you attack a different foe..... Dragonfly 00:31, 5 October 2007 (CEST)

13 Total DM?
If you have Siphon Strength, why shouldn't you just use maybe 9-11 DM?

change
imo those attrib pts in shadow just for feigned are a waste. better off with higher crit and deadly arts and some defense or heal from crit strikes. - Y0_ ich_halt  13:21, 5 October 2007 (CEST)
 * KD is not damage. Conditions can be removed. Your main skill bar is pretty bad. Siphon speed not only is it a hex it is half range so your speed boost to get to the frontline wont work. Speed boost means a stance or enchantment. In other words something that you can rush to the front and midline guys quickly. Skulds version ownz this.[[Image:Spell Breaker.jpg|19px]]  MasterOf  Guild's  17:20, 5 October 2007 (CEST)
 * Siphon Speed punks all. If you have trouble applying it to their backline (which you shouldn't have unless you're doing something really wrong), apply it to a frontliner and wait for recharge and apply to target.

 * wth does that have to do with the attrib spread? and why "your"? also, siphon speed is one of the best skills for sins. it's speed boost and snare in one, with low recharge and low cost. - Y0_ ich_halt  18:02, 5 October 2007 (CEST)

No longer works
