I think this build might be incredibly powerful with the new updates to juice. Assassin: Gold: Criticals Silver: Rate Of Fire Bronze: Juice The idea for this build is to rape turrents. But most likely will be used as a juice chaining class that deals massive damage. I have gold criticals because according to Scathis, the criticals endorsement increase the damage you do while juice. Rate of fire will allow you to dish out lots of these mega strikes in short periods of time. Juice, well gives you extra juice to start with. Someone try this out for me though? I won't be on until tomorrow around 4 p.m. est.
imo, Bronze Juice is worthless. two or three swipes against a bot and you have your Bronze Juice, or 2 full rounds of the shuriken launcher. Go with clip size/reload for SL abuse.
If I don't like it, I will most likely swap to health or skill recovery. Possibly health. But clip size might be fun with SL for taking out the money ball before OT.
That's the build I was running until very recently. I figured it wasn't necessary considering how easy it is to get crits with cloaked stars. I swapped out Juice for Health Regen because it's just too damn easy to build on a wave of bots with her jump-kick combo and I'd rather survive if I get caught up in a mid-arena traffic jam than have to rebuild once I respawn. Now I'm running a fairly standard Armor/RoF/Health, as I've had to keep a more watchful eye out for Turret-loving-Assassin hungry opponents.
I generally use this for my assassin but I want to try to get mega critical damage I.E. kill an overhealed 3.3 rockit or shavice in one or two slices. >=)
Not sure about 3.3 over-healed Rockits but I know Shave-Ices take more than a few slices to go down with your proposed build. Also, sorry bout not partying up last night. I wanted to sit down and play for more than one match but then I got a OH NO YOU DON'T from the lady. We compromised and played some Blitz. She still doesn't like it.
It's fun to juice with gold crits and randomly shoot out the shurikens and watch Pros get raped, especially if you cloak between reloads
lol I coulda told you that. Juice is never a good idea in my opinion. You essentially have to die after juicing to make it useful. Same for criticals on a sin. The increase is barely noticeable on the sword and not enough on the shurikens to make it worth any slot. On top of that you get 100% crit out of cloak 3. Your best bet is like someone said Gold armor. This is because you need to outlast whatever hits you while you're killing bots. Ever seen what a melee from a blackjack does to an assassins armor? ouch. While juiced you get full crits as well, so that would sort of defeat the purpose of what you wanted it for. Also, you can't two hit any level 2 or 3 turret regardless of what people on the forums say.
Yeah this was me trying to think of a weird lulzy build. My normal assassin build is your standard gold armor, silver rof and bronze health recovery.
Any over-powering weapon with crits will destroy things alot faster then usual. I figure that crits run on a random timer between 10 seconds. Each level of endorsement will add another second of it appearing. The weapons which fire more rounds will show more crts BUT the weapons which do more damage when crt will be over powering. Take the shotgun, railgun, sniper rifle; Each one of these with gold endorsement will do more damage then 1 shot from say the assault rifle. The assault rifle may appear to show more crits but the damage done will be less. In other words one weapon will appear more crits if it carries a higher fire rate. The other weapon will have a slower fire rate but when it crits will do more damage. I figure the weapons with infinite fire or large clips will crit more but the ones with skill upgrades show more often then usual. Gunner - deploy level 2 Assault- passive level 2/3 Assassin - cloak level 3 shruiken Now also seams that secondary weapons will Crit which normally never did if you have an endorsement. Hurt/Heal beam will crit but having bronze will make shotgun crit. Jet Flame gun will crit but having bronze makes rail gun crit. Being juiced and having gold crit makes everything max damage. Shotgun with gold crit juiced = highest damage.
