Skill Order?

Why not falling spider before falling lotus? You will get minimal energy back if your first energy skill gives you all that back and more, would be better if falling spider was first. Only advantage I see in lotus being first is because you want poison to last for longer after the spike? I don't know, imo spider should be first. Justin6 23:00, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Poison is needed to cover DW from Twisting. ~ ĐONT*SYSOP 00:55, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Target should blow up before they can remove DW if ur not a scrub at BB.   ツ cedave</♦)

Falling Lotus is also better first if you're low on energy (e-denial from E-Sure, etc.) and there's a decent chance that someone other than your target may have condition removal. It really isn't a big deal, though. ــмıкεнaшк 07:10, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Chances are that other person probably has Draw Conditions, RC, or Mending Touch, seeing as those skills are meta. And if I'm remembering right, I'm pretty sure all of those remove 2+ conditions. ups, guess your cover condition ain't doin' shit.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 12:29, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Agreed to the above. This build (while pretty original and uncommon) is too fragile. Too much adrenaline requiredt to have draw conditions, FF, IJAFW, etc. rape this spike build.. or even better yet.. 3 seconds of disciplined stance right in the middle of activating attacks. This shit right here will get pwn'd very quickly as assassins are made of glass! --Ulterion 10:13, 25 December 2008 (EST)

Optimal hammer

Req8 vampiric hammer of fortitude, +15/-5 energy. Unfortunately my req8 hammer is +15%>50%, but it does ok. Dionyssios 07:29, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

If you have 9 Hammer Mastery, there's not point for a req8 Hammer, and 15^50 would probably be better. -- Guild of Deals 07:37, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

12-10-8 atts -- Armond Warblade 09:37, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

How would a 15/-5 be worse than a 15^50? You're guaranteed the extra damage, and it's not like you really need energy while you've got the hammer out.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 11:28, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

I really do not understand why 10 hammer mastery is needed for one hit....Life Guardian 01:16, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

It's more that you don't gain anything for 10 critical strikes. The breakpoint is 9 then 13, so 8+1 hits it and since you have absolutely no chance of hitting 13, you might as well do more damage for that one hit on the hammer, because the extra points in crit strikes do absolutely nothing. -Auron 01:19, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

You do get more damage from TF ;o but the extra damage from BB is better. --Frosty 02:54, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Plus, if you're like me and 3x knocklock a bastard, your hammer is gettin' a lot of use. Also, if you're like me and forget to put your hammer away after you're done spiking. ups I'm brave.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 03:54, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

tl;dr: Why Falling Spider comes before Falling Lotus

if(metaconditionremoval >= 2){print "Falling Spider wins"}
else if(metaconditionremoval < 2){print "Falling Lotus wins"}
For those of you not programming savvy, think up the meta condition removals, and then tell me if it's going to matter whether or not you cover DW.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 14:45, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

yes but this is primarily a HB build, and in HB Mend Ailment is meta and thus Falling Spider is better, this is used more in HB then any other area so the version for that area should be stored. --Frosty 14:47, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Mend Ailment is meta? ups, i seem to notice a lot of mending touch. Also, this is used in TA, HA, and RA regularly, too. Mebbe it needs to be split?   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 14:49, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Well for hero monks atleast, maybe human monks not so much. --Frosty 14:50, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Well, mebbe. I tend to run MTouch on my heroes, too. Either way, Build:Team_-_HB_Backbreaker_Team and Build:Team_-_HA_Backbreaker both use Spider first. And the first one's the HB BB team. :P   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 14:51, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Lotus is better first, in all arenas pretty much. Rawrawr Dinosaur 14:55, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Remind me again, does bleeding cover deep wound on TF? And the only real advantage of running Falling First is the little bit of damage from poison during the spike. --Frosty 14:56, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

DW is over bleeding, so poison covers Rawrawr Dinosaur 14:57, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

ups, check ur meta condition removal skills again, yeye?   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 19:46, 5 October 2008 (EDT)

Why not just raise hammer mastery to 12 and lower critical to 3?--ツThe Gates Assassin 18:53, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Some anon archived it. Fixed.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 18:57, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

You can still do it with 3 second KD

so 12-9-9 is still viable. Saint 19:16, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

too risky if the monk uses shield bash midway during your spike. ☆Imbagon♥McSteve☆(LVPoW) _{Cuz Steve said so...} ツ 19:19, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Is this still viable after the nerf? omgosh, I dont wanna lose it :( Lol Joan Sandbox 19:23, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Tbh, you shouldn't need more than 8 seconds to build adrenaline with "FGJ!" It just means you get one extra BB after your first spike. ــмıкεнaшк 19:25, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Worst case, run 12 hammer and 10+1+2 dagger. -35 health won't kill you. --71.229 19:25, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Mike, it's extra adren for one spike, it's not worth main bar now. --Frosty 19:27, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Really, this is now really hard to pull off and not greatworthy anymore. Two key skills were nerfed. It's time to let go. I is *Jebus*Enter my contests! 19:31, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

dont archive a build just because its a little harder to do. people that dont suck should still have it here. @steve, that is a pointless comment, you could say that about any sin build..Saint 19:34, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

agree with above! it still great and the fact that is hard to pull off is gonna make it greater... not eveyrone would be able to run it now! Joan Sandbox 19:35, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

its not even hard to do, people need to go to nameless and try. just cancel after BB its still just like before, just without the breathing room of not canceling. Saint 19:38, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

It was already hard to use before. Now theres no breathing room at all. I is *Jebus*Enter my contests! 19:40, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Jebus, it was mindless before. I could do it in my sleep. Now I actually have to pay attention. Ohnoes! --71.229 19:42, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

jebus if you think it was hard before...ill stop myself from NPA. before you didnt even have to cancel swap, even bad people could do it with ease. now you have to know how to do it to run it, that shouldnt be an issue, still a "Great" build Saint 19:44, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

What concerns me the most is the time now it takes to build up 10 adren. It is quite bothersome, and LOONG. FGJ! basically reduced that time in half, the time you are most vulnerable, I must say this is quite an issue Joan Sandbox 20:00, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Now that the build uses Dash on the main bar, you might as well take Flurry or Frenzy instead of Flail so you can build adrenaline quicker. ــмıкεнaшк 20:04, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

(ri) user preferance and arena preferance tbh.my point is, just votewipe not archive. Saint 20:06, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

(ec) Just about to say that frenzy + dash > FGJ + Flail anyways... 76.64.121.145 20:07, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

i fixed ur indent because i reset it a few lines up and you didnt realize. Saint 20:25, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

For fuck's sake

The build's still the same, you can take Dash now and just deal with the slower adrenaline, and the 16 points off of Twisting Fangs is probably going to be made up for by the additional Hammer Mastery. There's no need for a wipe or anything.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 20:10, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

why even run 12 fucking hammer mastery when its doable with 3 second KD. same damage as old BB. if you REALLY want that extra second on the ground go for it, but bb is mostly about dmg and long kd, and ppl can sac 1 second of kd for more damage and trying a little harder to swap. Saint 20:22, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

It's definitely worth the negligible loss of damage for an extra second of KD. With that extra second of KD, you can pull off Blades of Steel before they get up. ــмıкεнaшк 20:25, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

^ I'm not even sure there is a loss of damage. The only loss if e-management, but if you're having e-problems, then you're fucking terrible.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 20:32, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Energy has never been a problem for BB Sins, tbh. You'd get an extra 10 damage on average from your Hammer, too. XD

Now, should we mainbar Frenzy? You've got Dash as a cancel, so you can use that IAS to gain adrenaline faster before your spike (Flail wasn't great for this, but Flurry is) and you won't lose 25% on the base damage of your attacks (like Flurry). ــмıкεнaшк 20:41, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

sins get damage from attack skills not daggers, so flurry works fine with or without dash. Saint 20:48, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

You still lose 30-40 damage on your spike by using Flurry, which is actually quite a bit. ــмıкεнaшк 20:51, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Heh, you're better off just auto-attacking with your Daggers, tbh. That 2 extra adrenaline won't really make a difference after you've had to attack with your Hammer, and then switch back to your Daggers, anyway. It would definitely have been worth it before the Mokele Smash rebalance/nerf, though. >.> ــмıкεнaшк 07:07, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

3 adren. Combo - cancel - hammer - Mokele - hit - spike. But yeah, whatever there are better options. ≈Display talk 08:53, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Suggestion

Swap FGJ for Assassin's Remedy to wtfpwn Smoke Powder Defense and Weapon of Shadow. --Luuck 11:51, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Also maybe 11+1+1 Dagger, 12 Hammer, and 6+2 Critical Strikes, so you still hit the breakpoint for crit strikes.- ḆỠḇỰ₤₳₮ỉờ₦ 12:02, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Minus health runes are bad for sins, since you tend to blow up pretty fast anyway. More damage = dead shit = less shit to blow you up. AR wouldn't be terrible, but IMS/IAS is usually more win.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 12:06, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

I almost never use major or sup runes, but for hitting the breakpoint and only going from from 620 to 585hp seems like it would be worth it.- ḆỠḇỰ₤₳₮ỉờ₦ 12:12, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

You don't gain a whole lot from the crit strikes anyway.----ﮎHædõ๘یíɳ 13:35, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

12 12 3 is a much better setup, The current one give you -35 health for e-management you do not need, your energy will have regenerated by the time you spike again... And the +damage from the hammer overwhelmes the loss of 6 damage from TF... --Frosty 14:06, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

What about crit +dmg? Running 12 12 3 seems more awesome to me tho... Swiftslash \\ (contributions *sandbox) 14:15, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Lol ur bad. The major was to make the break point for critical strikes at 8 so you gain 2 energy instead of 1. Pay attention.--ツThe Gates Assassin 15:02, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Ohai! Why even fag about 12 hammer, the spike works with 6. Only get +2dmg with 12 hammer, crits > +2dmg? Just don't fail at weapon swapping. ≈Display talk 16:01, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Yess, thanks for taking the time to explain how the BB sin works, I feel beloved now. ≈Display talk 16:16, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Let's start on a new line:

with 12 Hammer, 11+1+1 Dagger and 6+1 Crit currently seems like the best setup to me, at least for HB. Not too much with the breakpoints, simply overall a good spread. AR for anti-blind, and Falling Spider to cover DW. --Luuck 17:08, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

A) You're wrong. B) If you ever have energy issues, you're fucking terrible, so 3 Crits should be enough. C) The +1 in daggers does mean a tangible increase in damage, so 12+1+1 wins.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 18:42, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Sry, fixed the double TF. I said i didn't hit the breakpoint, it's just for some decent spread with extra dmg from TF and no health loss. Also, you get 5 removals from AR, which is great to keep your chain safe. --Luuck 07:50, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Sorry cedave but you are wrong. Maybe if you tunnel vision spike then energy is fine. But how is energy fine with 3 crit when you use flurry every 5 seconds, full spike every 15 seconds and spider-> blades every 8 seconds? Its really not. Rawrawr Dinosaur 07:56, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

You're recharging Backbreaker quick enough to spike every time Falling Spider is recharged? You must be hacking shit tbh. Also, if you're not using Flurry, you're fine. ups?   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 21:30, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

Also, before you niggers think I'm not using an IAS, stop being niggers and realize Frenzy and Flail are still options.   ツ cedave (☆contributions☆) 21:30, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

Another note: If you're using a Backbreaker Sin to pressure shit rather than spike shit, you're a fucking failure.

12/11+1+1/6+2>12/12+1+1/3+1. And if you think otherwise, what you're saying is that you should sacrifice far more energy and quite possibly a greater DPS for 35 extra health and about 12 more damage from Dagger Mastery.

Actually, a 12/10/8 split nets you one more attribute point in total (12+11+6=29 while 12+10+8=30), so you can actually drop the Critical Strikes Rune for a Vitae. ــмıкεнaшк 20:23, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Time to test W/A version

Out of curiosity, there might be a workaround for energy. With something like 10+1+1 Hammer Mastery, 12 Dagger Mastery and 8+1 Strength for armor penetration and full benefit of a shield when yielding the furious spear... at the risk of those idiots nerfing 4 assassin skills. Dionyssios 06:10, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

Guess what, it works. Way of the lotus not even needed really, but could be useful. Dionyssios 06:52, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

Critical strikes provide a more or less equal damage increase over time as strength, perhaps more, since I can't be bothered to calculate. 2 pips of e regen is most definitely worse off than 4. There is no real benefit to use W/A over A/W, except maybe for armor.PikaFan 09:21, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

Backbreaker is only 4 seconds when put on 20 attribute now. This build should be trashed.(Callistotyler 23:06, 23 October 2008 (EDT))

Source? --71.229 23:09, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

20 attrib is impossible anyway. Unless you had some glyph of elemental power/awaken the blood+superior rune+headpiece+blessing+consumable, but ur not a necro or an ele are u. The purpose of the build is to spike, and the lowered critical strikes impacts that little. It decreases the chance of a critical ever so slightly but its still lethal w/o criticals. Higher hammer mastery also means more damage from BB and the chance to actually have a high hammer critical. -- Jebus_contests 23:12, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

Luke? What? x_x. And the problem with BB in RA is not that it has no self heals, it's the fact that it takes 5-7 seconds to charge BB, and without a monk, at that point you would have very little possibility to do anything. Also, there is not enough coordination to strip enchants. It would take a horrible monk not to use guardian, shield bash, or disciplined stance to block you and make you have to recharge adren. And to those of you who say "wtf u stupid disciple they nocked down how they use guardian" it's called pre-protting, any monk with half a brain will be able to recognize a BB sin and prepare for his shadow step. Disciple 15:41, 22 November 2008 (EST)

You say that, and yet I have no trouble using BB sins in RA. --71.229 15:45, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Guardian can be cast on other targets you know? And mister IP #, I'm not doubting that this works with a monk, please be more specific. Are you saying it works when you are with a monk? All the time? When the other time doesn't have a monk? Disciple 15:54, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Must be some epicly psychic monk if he knows what target the BB sin will Shadowstep too. Also, if you're good you'll recognize the preprot and pick another target. ɟoʇuɐʌʎʞɔıɹ 16:09, 22 November 2008 (EST)

Runes

Does it add something to add a critical strike rune ? That +2 dagger mastery is really needed ?

If I remind right, I am using the build with 12-10-8 but only with +1+1 on daggers and +1 on crit. Stoella 11:27, 26 November 2008 (EST)

U ned +2 for 13 dagger mastery, which is breakpoint of blades of steel--Shadow 11:28, 26 November 2008 (EST)

What about a critical strike rune ? Stoella 13:12, 26 November 2008 (EST)

9 crit is really no better than 8 God Zefir 13:16, 26 November 2008 (EST)

It's 1% crit chance versus 10 hp then ? Stoella 15:46, 26 November 2008 (EST)

You said it. The hp is better. Tbh this would even work at 3 critical strikes and 12 hammer mastery, but overall the slightly higher critical strikes results in little loss of damage and a small loss of health, but contributes to energy and damage more. -- Jebus_contests 18:39, 26 November 2008 (EST)

And it means more spikes. --Frosty 18:47, 26 November 2008 (EST)

Then ... there's the possibility of dropping main attrib for one skill *_* Stoella 13:13, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Assassin primary means more energy and better damage, switching to a warrior primary adds only slightly more damage from strength cause of the low damage range of daggers, and the armor bonus is good, but the energy with a sin is better. -- Jebus_contests 13:37, 27 November 2008 (EST)

I meant, maybe try with a support skill using another attrib ? Stoella 16:09, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Critical strikes is nice for spiking, not only because of the crit hit capabilities but mostly because of the energy gain. Remember that hitting a foe in the back is always a critical hit. Besides, with the extra energy you can spike every 8 seconds instead of every 15. BB~>FS~>TF~>FLS~>BoS, then backbreaker should be charged or near charged. Then spike with BB~>FS~>BoS for a nice mini spike. -- Jebus_contests 16:20, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Usage, ESC

Is not ESC necessary after the weap swap to speed it up? I've always used it, & could've sworn it was necessary to bypass the swapping delay. Does a queued attack skill do the same thing? - insidious420 12:45, 9 December 2008 (EST)

It is neccassary, but you sentence lacks sense. --Frosty 12:50, 9 December 2008 (EST)

My sentence made perfect sense. Regardless, why was my Usage edit reverted, if you do in fact need ESC after the weap swap? - insidious420 12:58, 9 December 2008 (EST)

meh, I press 'd' or 's' instead, but I think that costs extra time. Brandnew. 13:04, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Oh you ment pressing escape after you have swapped, no doing that gains no extra time, you only use escape to cancel the hammer swing, so you can swap to you daggers quickly once you are on your daggers you just chain away. --Frosty 13:15, 9 December 2008 (EST)

You don't press escape afterwards (well you can, but it actually slows it down) you press escape mid BB swing. Makes no lag. Rawrawr Dinosaur 13:54, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Ahh thanks for the clarification. All this time I thought ESC was absolutely necessary after hitting the weap swap key to speed it up. - insidious420 14:32, 9 December 2008 (EST)

After the above conversation, I'm still confused about using ESC, as the note in this build page states "The Escape Key is set by default to cancel all actions, including the delay time between weapon swapping, causing there to be almost no delay in swapping weapons." This is exactly how I thought weap swap + ESC worked & matches what I've read elsewhere. So why are all the above comments 100% contrary to this note? Personally IDC, cuz I've always used ESC after BB & after weap swap which works fine, I just think this is a curious contradiction here & haven't been able to play in a few days to test what's quicker. - insidious420 12:29, 10 December 2008 (EST)

Swap to hammer -> Press backbreaker -> in the middle of backbreaker, escape, -> daggers + chain. Rawrawr Dinosaur 12:30, 10 December 2008 (EST)

Insidious, if you try to switch weapons while attacking, there will be a delay, that is why you press escape (to cancel your attacking) then switch. Once you have switched to your daggers there is no point in pressing escape as there is no delay to cancel out. --Frosty 13:38, 10 December 2008 (EST)

In other words - When ready/charged up, click on BB, (hit esc to cancel swinging on your hammer and prepare for weapon-swapping), click on dagger set (do not hit esc.), click on your attack skills in the proper order (without hitting escape). Kapeesh? --Ulterion 10:30, 25 December 2008 (EST)

It looks cooler if you sidestep instead of pressing esc though. Railin 16:58, 25 December 2008 (EST)

It's also slower than esc meaning your target gets up b4 blades finishes--GoldenStar 17:13, 25 December 2008 (EST)

If you do it wrong.. lol. It's just as fast. Railin 17:37, 25 December 2008 (EST)

No...it's not, esc mid backbreaker is def faster than sidestep--GoldenStar 18:09, 25 December 2008 (EST)

How about less fail? Use BB while positioned behind the target? GG? --Ulterion 23:14, 25 December 2008 (EST)

what?--GoldenStar 23:15, 25 December 2008 (EST)

I'm not even going to argue.. lol Railin 04:44, 26 December 2008 (EST)

sorry but BB sin is way better then any other spike builds . i use it all the time. try spiking a 60 al in RA with a monk in their team. they wont realise when you spike and if they do , they'd only cast patient spirit but before PS can end, hes already dead. works all the time--Lusciious 06:45, 9 February 2009 (EST)

If you spam frenzy, dash, then use blades - falling spider inbetween every full spike, ya you really need the crit strikes. 8 crit also equals more damage cuz you'll crit way more, but like 1 more dagger mastery adds 2 damage or something stupid. Rawrawr Dinosaur 01:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Additionally, doesn't this shittier variant need a +1 cs to counter weakness' -1? One Devastating Hammer or Enfeeble can defeat this fail attempt at 2e hits gains easy as pie. I srsly don't see why ya'll are saccing armore-ignoring dag d0m0gez for a mere 18% (at 8+1 cs) total critical strike rating without even securing this e-gain with a +1 rune. --BlazingBurdy 12:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Smurf being one of the best BB sins in the game is though. however +1 Crit Strikes should be used. --Frosty Mc Admin 12:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I found that comment amusing. What makes him the best bbsin? The fact that he can weapon swap or what? I can't argue with the fact that he might be one of the best bbsins in HB but BlazingBurdy still got a valid point. There's no need to start a shitstorm now, just saying. ≈Display talk 13:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

When everybody was using lameway he still won mAT's with BB (when nobody else could), it's generally known that Smurf is one of the best BB sins in GW, although I don't even know if he plays anymore. Also, he told me his mother created the BB sin, and handed it to him as she couldn't weapon swap! Also, Display there is a lot more to playing a BB sin then just being able to do the simple chain. --Frosty Mc Admin 14:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Frosty, I'm pretty sure it's hard to tell who the best BB sin in the game is since it's a shitter's bar anywhere other than HB, and since it's a really easy bar to play the differences between the "best" and somebody good will be unnoticeable anywhere other than HB. Unless of course you are just referring to HB, in which case yea Smurf is one of the best :> (along with Juju!) --Crow 15:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

At Frosty. No it's not. You have to watch the field, but you should be doing that on every class, not just the bbsin. I bet Smurf is a motherfucker at flagging his heroes and [insert stuff HB:ers does]. Saying "xxx is the best xxx in game" is just hillarious. ≈Display talk 15:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Well if none else does it with precise perfection and at the exactly right moment on the exactly right person, reacting immediately if something happens? ---Chaos- 16:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I never said he was "the" best, I always said "one" of the best. And that is true Crow, but if we are talking about what attributes to take on a backbreaker assassin I would listen to the person who has used/abused it the most with the most success. --Frosty Mc Admin 16:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

lololol @ "everyone should use every build the way the best players in the game do". That said, if you're not bad, you should use the crits rune, end of subject. See also: Rawr's comment two sections up. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 17:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

or you use 12 dagger mastery and 3 crit and bring a pair of zealous daggers because that whole 6 percent isn't making a game-breaking difference, but that last bit of damage can always help. ···  18:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I know my reply is late, so =P~~ in advance, but the template in your prescribed archives is baed (no flurry!). If you meant to state the obvious about "it's already been suggested"? It's okie cuz I never recalled stating myself as the originator. I merely imply to maybe mainbar or add to variants since it's a very effective suppliment to bb. BlazingBurdy 06:13, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Is there a reason why BS still isn't listed as a variant? Also, would Warrior's Cunning be worth mentioning? I find it rly useful vs Escape fags (RA) & standard monk blocking, even with the 60s recharge. ~ 420 16:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Because people communicate on the internet through typing! O_O Weird shit, huh? ---Chaos- 20:40, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Either Wafflez is trolling or he's a dumb nigger. Also, either Reunion is trolling or he's a dumb nigger. Linguistics isn't anywhere close the topic you guys are on about. Not that it matters because no one gives a fuck and we're all terrible at a dead game that most of us don't even play anymore. ···  18:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

The more superior and the more flexible KD hammer sin

Att's go where they belong, Soul reaping ofc, nah just kiddin. Any comments? If you switch fast enough you can get both Kd's without your target being able to get away.81.206.79.118 13:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

So you waste 2 skill slots where backbreaker does it in one :/ --Frosty Mc Admin 13:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

More complicated chain that's less likely to do what backbreaker does while simultaneously losing IMS? No thanks. Without dash any prot with half a brain will shut your spike down sin you won't be able to fake it worth anything--TahiriVeila 13:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Also with hammer bash you're spending much more time building adren. With Backbreaker, i'm already halfway built by the time i've finished my chain and can BB one more time and still have it charged again for falling spider + BoS recharge--TahiriVeila 13:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Also that bar blows. Use a real chain.

Even though I think that ones vetted already. ~ Big sysop 13:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I've run that in HB. It can work but i still find it's not as effective as BB--TahiriVeila 14:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

HB is just WEWK and D/A bullshit now. :< ···  16:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

still meta?

Look at what it's tagged for. Karate Jesus 17:16, 9 November 2009

BB nerf

"Backbreaker: decreased adrenaline cost to 9; changed functionality to: "Elite Hammer Attack. If Backbreaker hits, you strike for +1...16...20 damage and your target is knocked down. This knockdown lasts 4 seconds if you have at least 8 Strength." Source: http://www.guildwars.com/support/gameupdates/default.php

Who would have though that a massive gray template on top of the build which says "This build has been archived because game update which everyone heard about" wouldn't have been enough. --Chaos? -- 22:48, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Bye bye BB sin, it was fun! --Barbie of Kryta 00:01, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
