Message: <blockquote data-quote="JiggleFloyd" data-source="post: 5331966" data-attributes="member: 85403">Thanks for the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it.Made some changes to my build based on feedback and additional playing around with the CB:1) Changed to Bastard Sword + Versatile Duelist. I use the Bastard Sword with two hands. This adds an average of 2 damage every At-Will attack, more on Encounter/Daily APs, but I lose the +1 AR from Nimble Blade.2) I purchased 4 Ghost Mask Ki Focuses. These things are silly. As a free action I can change any attack that targets AC to target Will instead and I don't have to attack with this Ki Focus to get this benefit, I just have to have it equipped. This is an encounter power item so that's why I have 4 of them to swap out during the encounter. This is like getting a +2 or +3 AR bonus to my AC attacks, which is why I switched to Bastard Sword + Versatile Duelist.3) I picked up Low Slash for Level 3. I agree, it's nice because you can use it to get both Assassin's Shroud and Sneak Attack off in one round or to attack again in case you miss with the Sneak Attack already. As for Roguish Killer I may get it a little later and have already considered it. I don't intend to use many Assassin attacks honestly; they are mainly there for burst and ranged when needed, so I don't intend to proc Assassin's Shroud too often. I plan to get 2 Rogue to Every 1 Assassin Encounter/Daily APs, so maybe I'll use 2 Assassin powers/encounter so Roguish Killer may or may not be used every encounter for me.As for Human I considered this race but eh, with Drow I get Darkvision, a sweet racial power that adds to CA and survivability, and more dmg from +2 CHA. It just fits the Assassin build more I think, but Human is definitely viable. The extra feat and At-Will is what makes people choose Human, not usually the extra skill or +1 to defenses. I don't see myself needing another At-Will, it's more of a nicety as Sly Flourish is King imo as long as I can maintain CA.As for Shadow Walk, I'm open to other options but here's the thing, it only requires 2 Feats and the Warlock MC isn't bad in and of itself b/c it gives me extra dmg + Warlock Implements. Shadow Walk makes Hiding and CA so simple. The way I see it without Shadow Walk I have to worry more about both maintaining consistent Concealment and CA. Armor of Dark Deeds is the best alternative that I have found so far as I can get concealment as long as I attack an enemy with CA.</blockquote>
