Dusting out my DM/nin


DSorrow

 

Posted

As the title says I decided to dust out my old DM/nin stalker and even made a build for him. Now with acrobatics nerf coming I decided to drop it entirely and replace it with 2 KB protection IOs. I'm not looking forward to very active PvP at the moment so I think those two IOs should keep me on my feet most of the time..

As for power picks, I took stealth fairly late because only PvP I'm thinking of doing is mostly 1v1 arena with friends and maybe in RV sometimes. I could swap it around with smoke flash for PvP in WB though.
I also took soul mastery mainly for dark blast (better than shadow punch) and the cool hold which might help me to some further damage with crits.

This is the build I made, any comments appreciated

With all your fully SIO'd out builds I get suspicious! Are you rich or what?


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Could say I'm rich not sure how much infamy I got CoV side but I'm sure I'll get quite a bit of inf playing at 50. Anyway, the inf is never a problem. The problem is knowing if the build is worth doing or not

Well yes I was thinking of the defbuff IO in hide and thought I should move it into ninja reflexes for a KB prot IO but wasnt really sure about it.. :P

Also what do you mean with my build being curious?

Putting Defense IOs in Hide is necessary imo, it gives you soft capped AoE defense when Hidden, which is awesome tbh

Whilst hidden unslotted Hide and Combat Jump is almost 45% and he still hasn't toggled on danger sense. When suppressed the level of defense drops to a low figure doesn't it?

Slotting low figures is something I'd do if I saw no where better to slot and in this case I'd even recharge caltrops more.

In PVP, anything can happen but how likely your going to need to worry about AoEs of great accuracy is something I can only wonder but yet plausible.

Omg don't tell me this is for PvP.

Duh, it aint a PvP build but it does have stealth in there for occasional arena and RV.

Make sure you put a stealth IO in CJ or summat too, stealth is a bit pointless if you don't go all the way nowadays.

Oh yeah, a stealth IO in sprint might be a good idea?

If you do make sure to get an unbounded leap or whichever is the Jump set. Celerities are uber expensive
