well they managed to nerf sins even more... dont ask me why they did it... no1 complained about sins ability to explore etc etc
anyways red mobs can now see sins and now that duels have boundarys dueling as a sin will get even harder.
for dps with the new updates u will wanna use the following:
str rings
skelle card stat (yes assassin impact works properly with it now, the attack speed is insane)
orc/hawk/yeti card stat if you dont have a skelly (not sure whether orc or skelly is better yet cos i havent got a sin to test it with..)
use distortion of rage EVERY 15 SECONDS. otherwise u will kill urslef and your pt. you cannot merely hide anymore, so using that is a must due to sins huge ability to draw aggro and oblivions uselessness :S
when you are killing a boss, you will want to do the following:
start off by shadow wounding it (-40 acc)
swap to xbow and keep the boss bleeding (this stops hp regen using this u technically to more culmative damage then anyone)
remember that you have 4 stuns, use them to protect your mages to the best of your ability
always offer to pull, it takes much less effort, is much less dangerous and is easy
to pull use an xbow get ur mov speed as high as you can, hunter armour also if you have it, use ur fear and sleeping dust (sleep is long ranged with xbow) to create "timed pulls". use ur xbow skills to pull the other mobs, use ur best judgement on when to use the "timed pulls."
when using your heavy dd skills (apoc deadly fatal wave) make sure you don't do it in an area that will make you get lots of aggro, also remember that apocalypse's damage becomes incredibly shtass like it was in e4 if you have 2 many mobs around u.
also remember that deep evasion is a kickass skill, dont forget to use it. try not to head breaker unless absolutely necessary ( pt mems get pissed) use it when there i more mobs than there are dp members, if you are running low on mp you could lower the skill lvls of some skills, although i wouldnt recommend lowering the level of dark strike apoc dd or fatal as they are your main dding capabilities.
