Hello

I'm just wondering which power to place my ATO's into for StJ?

Thanks!

Well, the ATO proc is changing in i24 (along with all other procs), but even with the changes the best place to put it is in Assassin's Strike. Note that higher slotted recharge will reduce how often the proc goes off, so while currently that's also the best place to put the rest of the set, it may not be once the changes go live (I haven't done the math). If you're going with the superior ATO proc, it's barely under the proposed maximum firing rate (90%) even at 100% slotted recharge, though.

If you don't care about the 6-slot bonus and just want to slot the proc in AS, the rest of the set could easily fit into Crushing Uppercut and would get you to the +recharge set bonus.

I have just heard of people using in AoE's and it help while in a Mob because of the chance to hide. Maybe it might work better in Spinning Strike. Assassin Strike then use Spinning Strike for damage mitigation(knockdown), then AS again.

There are two problems with that; the first is that PPM procs (which the ATO procs are) have reduced effectiveness in AoEs, and the second is that Assassin's Strike is better for sustained damage over time outside of hidden for every primary plus you don't have to worry about turning it interruptible and increasing the cast time by 2 seconds in the middle of your chain.

Plus when you can SK->AS->CU with an Achilles' proc and a guaranteed critical on a combo level 3 Crushing Uppercut, you're doing more burst, too.
