[SW] New assault oriented specs

[Ugle]

Heavily specced into assault:
RoR.builders - Shadow Warrior Will be food for rdps without rkd and PD, but should hit pretty hard in melee. Should see 2k brutal assault crits.

More balanced skirm/assault spec:
RoR.builders - Shadow Warrior
Brutal Assault will be finisher in these specs.
Both require high RR, (only 10 RR to obtain for myself for last spec ) ASW requires top end gear anyways so..

Looking forward to test

Any comments, experience or spec suggestions? And remember the title

Edit: obviously career builder is not updated to reflect changes. Check out patch thread if unclear on new positions for skills.

The melee world with charge, m1 roots, and snare breakers?

Sidathe, what would your intended gear setup be + talis in this build?

Definitely armour and wounds for me

All out dps glasscannon spec 4 bl, 3 anni to hunt the highest crit, then a little more defensive bl/merc setup. Don't have too many gear/tallie setups sadly (due to limited playtime).

Going too defensive dosent work too good either imo (for me). Like to run high risk/reward rate with a correspondingly high failure rate

[dansari]

Haha yeah I think you could either take it to an armor/wounds with BL/merc or go WS with BL/anni, depending on how much you wanna get blown up. Thanks!

second build.
Powerful Draw have little use in melee build.
i guess, skirmish mainly?
in that case, your positioning tend to stay in skirmish range.
that leads to less chance of assault stance, only assault when melees caught u. cuz melee is risky.
about assault finisher, you don't need to finish them with assault in this build.
just finish them safely from skirmish range.
again melee is risky and melee burst in this build is not good enough to abandon safety of range.
just my 2cent.

first build looks good.
ASW is great decoy.
spread healdebuff with 45ft No Respite range.
that range is good to pull enemies to you or jump into melee.
when you push, detaunt rdps while closing gap.

i use AoE detaunt to stay in melee.
but that's for my defensive build, not sure for glass cannon.

Second build is not far from my current build tbh, balanced for soloing in the lakes.

Using brutal assault as a finisher with sinister assault. Regularly crits for 1500 on non-toughness stackers. Should be said I do not care too much about using cookie cutter spec for max optimizaton in regards of playstyle, but rather how I want to play it. Skirm/assault.
Havent had time to test with new changes though.
