- Actually this can spike every 15 sec, opposed to 25, which is about 50% as as often. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 05:06, 26 January 2008 (EST)
- Technically, because of AI's 15 second recharge, both builds only have a downtime of 15 seconds. Shadow Prison is not necessarily required; but you may need to pick targets more carefully on a non-SP spike I mean, considering the spike (minus set-up time) is only 3 seconds, and you only need 2.26 to land the last attack, you won't need a snare 100% of the time. LavaEdge324 20:00, 28 January 2008 (EST)
- Well, I think the Dark Prison variant is best at AB and the D dagger variant best in the other areas because you don't need an interrupt in AB. Dark Morphon(contribs) 05:51, 26 January 2008 (EST)

Pious Assault RC's every 12 sec and AI every 15 so having a shadowstep/snare to match those recharges is better than an interrupt. But meh, community decides. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 06:00, 26 January 2008 (EST)
I've run it switching out Heart of Fury + Attacker's Insight for Faithful Intervention and Watchful Intervention, as those are good heals, and Watchful can target other allies. Works fairly well.

- AI is the whole point behind the build. HoF is somewhat optional but speeds up the spike. Also FI and WI are sucky heals. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 11:02, 26 January 2008 (EST)

If you leave cos of wikidrama you kinda fail tbh. Also still, you should vote on build not down it becuase it's much like another build (see for instance W/E shockaxe, W/D rend axe, W/A shadowaxe).
Also "this has no place on a TA team and no place on a HA team with the current meta. and just because it winz in RA means nothing". Neither of those points validate a 0-0-0 vote. Un-meta builds lose points in innovation, and not being fit for TA is just lies. It has a fast recharging, fast executed, strong spike. In a small arena like TA that can be very valuable. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 10:26, 5 February 2008 (EST)
- You know what, i'll be honest, mines a balance vote, it was originally a dupe vote, but now its a balance vote, know why? cuz over the course of a battle this will have energy problems, provided you dont want to be auto attacking for 15 seconds between spikes. Secondly Cheese's vote is overly high and contradictory to a vote on another D/A which was based on the fact that the build use SP on a non assassin class. By any means this build does not belong in great cuz its not great, The question is does it belong in other , or good? I say "Other" because there are much better builds out there than this, and this being a dupe of a build that was considered trash, i'd say it belongs in other.--Shadowsin 10:42, 5 February 2008 (EST)

- Second shadow step is what makes the diff tbh. Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 02:28, 6 February 2008 (EST)
- a second shadowstep isnt all that matters, a sin with attack chains can do more damage and condition inflicting like the SP sins. Pious assault isnt that good, as Impale can do more damage. I Am Jebus 19:39, 9 February 2008 (EST)
- Pious assault is absolutely amazing now, impale has a one second cast, SP sins are garbage outside of HB ( Unless you're running wierd bars like [Me] did ) and RA. Anyhow, I honestly like Build:D/A Beguiling Assault better for RA. I use a slightly different setup than the atts and bar given though.
