Assassin Q

[Khaisev]

Well today I was on WoW today and someone said the ladder was reseting so I ran out and bought a copy. I havent palyed for 3 years so I'm a little rusty on what skills to take. Back in the day I played a mean javazon named ezdoesit, at one point I was ranked 8th out of all the amazons when the ladder reset.

Anyway Ive decided to make a MA assassin when the realm comes up. Relying mainly on phoenix strike with dragon claw as a finisher I was wondering if I should max out Fists of Fire and Claws of Thunder.

Other than that I have a few questions
1) Can I have multiple charge up skills active at once?
2) Which charge skills proc off of both hands? (going c/c)
3) If I use dragon claw do I recieve the charged damage twice?
4) lastly shadow master or shadow warrior?

I am by far not the assassin expert but, to the best of my knowledge the answer to your first question is really max both, but max claws of thunder first.

1) yes
2) not sure
3) if both claws land (or so I though according to the phoenix striker build...must have read it wrong)
4) SM>SW in my opinion (unless you really like to control what skills they are going to use)

1. Yes

2. Only the elemental charge-ups (FoF, CoT, BoI) use both claws to attack. The three strike charges (TS, CS, PS) use your onhand claw (the one you have equiped first, or, after using the weapon switch, on the glove side).

3. No. The claw that hits first will release the charges.

4. Neither. :tongue:

1, 2, 3) What stephan said

4) SM tends to survive longer, but SW puts you in charge. The last time I played an MA 'sin with SM I found myself unsummoning her quite often on Hell because of her MB. A badly timed conversion can really ruin your day.
