advice for an upcoming assassin?

I have a 51 assassin.What AA line did you go down in predator tree/assassin tree and why?Bleeding seems to be the best for assassin, but the predator ones all stink IMO.

Do you work for Microsoft?The reason I ask is you seem to have mastered the art of giving a completely accurate answer that is useless.<img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<P>What answer were you wanting?</P> <P> </P> <P>If you can't see that the strength line is the best by a mile, then I don't know how to convince you. Melee crits and a massive boost to your big nukes...</P> <P>I can't remember the last time any of my bleeding dots went the distance, and the rest of the EoF lines are awful. Truly a waste of time.</P>

The predator AAs are by far, far *FAR* better.  It's not even close.

Pred (KoS) tree:STR: 4-4-4-8-8 (1)INT: 5-4-4-8Asn (EoF) tree:-useless.... More info on that in the EoF AA threads, but basically...None of the trees give you any real increase in DPS. 21 points in Bleeding up your DPS by about 30. Very little effort was put into them. Enhanced Sprint? Reduce the reuse timer of Constriction by 2-10 secs when the duration is already longer than the reuse timer?Malignant Mark proc upgrade? And it's bascally never on the mob longer than 0.1 second, meaning your Bleeding line HP debuff is less than what it could be. Points in defensive stance? Entire poison line is lame.Basically, if you solo/grp, Tricks like is useful. If you PvP, you're happy with EoF trees.If you're a raiding assassin... Get Bleeding for the marginal increase in DPS, cos it's the best we can get. The rest I threw around a bit so I got points in Honed Reflexes, Deadly Focus, Enmesh etc... No real way to go, and very, VERY little to get excited about in the new tree.<div></div>
