Respec away from 50CS advice?
Hi all,

Ok, currently Im specced like this (@ RR3 & not botted): -

50(63):Thrust
50(63):CS
39(52):Stealth
27(40):Env
2(15):DW

but Im really not happy with the 50 CS style and as I have a single line respec available I was thinking of changing it and shoving the points somewhere a little more useful.
Is the drop in damage from 50CS -> 39/44 CS *that* big in reality considering opponents will invariably have SCed stuff comming out the ears and buffed?

Im considering : -

50 (63):Thrust
39 (52):CS
39 (52):Stealth
37 (50):Env
18 (31):DW

or

50(63):Thrust
44(57):CS
39(52):Stealth
35(48):Env
8(19):DW

I would really like to drop my stealth a tad too but I only have the one line respec available.

Has anyone specced away from 50 CS and regretted it/loved it? Will the drop in damage from 44 -> 39CS be worth the extra I'll be getting from higher Env + DW?
I'd be interested to hear thoughts from any other assassins who've gone down a similar path.

Re: Respec away from 50CS advice?
Current RR3....Remember that over 50 in stealth does nothing, and if you cap stealth w/SC it will let you spec down a bit in it as you go up in RR to add to other things as you see fit.

For 39 stealth base:

39 stealth
50 thrust
39 CS
21 DW
35 Env (LB at RR5)

For a RR5 w/capped stealth SC'd:

35 stealth
50 thrust
39 CS
27 DW
35 env (LB)

If you can afford it, you can at this point just roll back stealth, and env to boost DW more as your RR goes up:

RR6:

34 stealth
50 thrust
39 CS
30 DW
34 env (LB)

DW helps ALOT w/thrust due to our lower dmg rates. So the higher you can get it as you raise RR's, do it. As it gets higher, it will make up for the lost dmg in styles as apposed to slash. Think about this too: Lifebane does maybe 50+ dmg a tic after resists these days...for 6 tics. If your offhand hits 6-7 times in a fight (or more) at 70+ dmg a hit, which does more dmg? Combine the two, and you have quality dmg output.
