@MurdocPVP Thoughts on Madness spec?? and do you have priority llist for Madness?

[MurdocPVP]

@KidxJokerx I've never given madness much of a try in PVP. Once I finish with my defensive gear set I'll probably pick up a madness set and see what I can do.

[Thiefter]

Is it worth ever using the Low Slash, I find it pretty useless other than interupting people, but I have my Jolt for that.

[MurdocPVP]

@Thiefter I use it for interrupts only. As far as interrupts go, I use jolt > low slash > electrocute in order of priority.

[MurdocPVP]

Thanks guys for the comments I apprciate them.

@andy - With the pvp gear being non-modifiable I don't pick and choose alot of stats (other then choosing the "stalker" set). I haven't don't any serious number crunching, but if I had to list I'd take willpower > expertise > crit > surge > power > accuracy (although I try to keep close to +10% accuracy to cut down on misses). Hope you enjoy deception! Send me a PM if you have any questions.

"VOLTAIC" slash

[apatheist89]

Don't forget about Lacerate! It doesn't do much against one opponent, but it can be brutal in pvp where there are sometimes 3,4, or 5 opponents bunched up. With good force management, out of stealth, blackout, back into stealth, you can continuously lacerate for about 18 seconds. That is some sick AOE.

[apatheist89]

I disagree with opening with discharge. I open with voltaic slash to set up the shock 30%.  Also I think there is sort of a rotation with the assassin. My rotation is usually this when I have all abilities available.

In stealth:

Recklessness, Voltaic Slash x2, Shock, Discharge, Deflection, Blackout, Voltaic Slash x2, Shock, Discharge, exit to stealth, low slash, maul, assassinate, Voltaic Slash x2, shock, discharge, assassinate. That should kill most tough opponents.

You've prob PvP'd with me. We are on the same server. And I know I have seen you before. Next time I see you in a warzone or Ilum I'll hit ya up. I'm a Sith Juggernaut.

[Drenchkat]

Thanks a lot for these videos! I have a 50 assassin on Iron Citadel and have been trying my best to maximize my damage dealing and I think im on the right track minus a few skills. Thanks again!

Stop pronouncing Voltaic slash wrong!
