It still works folks, the only difference is now the squishies die in 2 seconds instead of 1.5 sinister laugh

New chain

Basilik > Assassins signet > CND > immediate steal(while CND is casting) > backstab > heartseekers if needed. Haste will also speed up the process if you want to sacrifice endurance.

Overall it was a great balance tweak, I honestly can’t believe that anybody is complaining and calling it a nerf.

The more I think about that change the more I feel it’s a buff. Sure it nerfed backstab but we gain alot more. It’s also a nice buff to cluster bomb, before I critted between 3-5K with that skill, gonna give me another 1k damage to alot of targets on keep defence. And as someone stated before the Mug+CnD+Backstab ending with double heartseeker gonna be lethal traited with 20% damage under 50% health.

The reason I like it is that I can switch between alot more viable builds when I get sick of D/D. Feel that my power/crit exotic set for WvWvW will last longer and I can easily switch between D/D, S/D, S/P, P/P.
