In need of PvP Advice

[Mar]

<p>I'm starting an assassin intended for (mostly) solo t7 pvp play, and I am wondering about a few things that I figure the community could easily advise on, so here are my questions:</p><p> Which AA lines work best? I'm working on Strength at the moment, and was considering Stamina for the extra HPs. I feel fairly clueless about the EoF trees though.</p><p> In high tier, is it best to use Caustic, Hemotoxin, or Vitality Breach for pvp purposes?</p><p> That's... erm.. actually all I can think of to ask at the moment, because it's quite late.. Or early depending on how you look at it. Any advice would be appreciated though, so feel free to fling some my way.</p>

I tried this once and the discussion took a turn for the off topic; so here's what I've learned so far... KoS AA Lines:  So far I've gone down the Strength line, with the thinking that the increased crit chance coupled with the lower timer and increased damage on Assassin's Blade would be helpful and I have no complaints whatsoever.  In my opinion, STR is a must in PvP; my thinking is strength=damage and that's what I'm about.  From there I'm going to either mess around with Stamina or Intelligence; I'm leaning towards INT though just because I want to crit poisons and procs. EoF AA Lines:  Your guess is as good as mine-I'm still trying to decide.  One thing you need to do is max out the increased duration on our stifle; I can't come up with a single reason why an extra 5 seconds on that attack wouldn't be worth taking.  Beyond that, Frontload sounds like a good (the poisons line); if you go down the INT line in KoS. Poisons:  I like hemotoxin, but the big hits on caustic aren't bad either.  I switch off depending on how I feel and who I expect to be fighting.  I look at it like this-hemo will damage every tick which cuts down on stealth.  While that's probably not a big deal, it just seems important to me.  Vitality Breach were amazing in T7 on my swashbuckler, but I usually used caustic at 70. /shrug Hope that helps a little bit!  /hugz

<p>i went all the way down the str line, 44682. now i am working on int ans i have noticed a marked change on my dmag output, my poisons are doing quite a nasty bit of dmg. so far all is good once i get to nightshade i'll see, read that sta is best for pvp for survivability tho. once i get all my aa's in kos line done mebe i will play around a bit just to see how it goes. for poisons i am using caustic for the big hits, also read somewhere that is the best choice until full nightshade, where crits will make hemo more powerfull? not too sure on that mebe i read it wrong. as for eof aa's heard the poison line is the one to work on but i havent looked that way yet since i am still working on kos aa's</p>
