s1 mh fist, s2 oh fist (no weapon swap to ambush)

why this build?
1: no imp ss? no need
2: riposte? now affects everything, since immunity to disarm is gone... it helps a bunch
3: 2/5 dw spec? all i could afford =\
4: 2 points mod? is 1 level of stealth (3/5 x2) and i use garrote enough to up its damage
5: 2/3 SETUP?! a free CP or 2 during a evasion helps TREMENDOUSLY vs rogues and warriors, this build lacks raw power AND it lacks burst... any help is a big help
6: 3/5 sin calling? i dont stack agi, didnt feel like maxing it all out instead of getting some in setup (might final go 3/3 setup 2/5 sin calling)

reports vs each class:
priests are easy, VERY easy... like always though (shadow is a lil harder though) even if they get a fear off, you can step right to em again... no way to remove crip poison and bam... your in their face ALL the time, constant wound effect and they cant do too much of anything... this build can stall thru a pain supression, and COS to bandage (or vanish -> food) and you can outlast any trick they got... dirty deeds makes it easy to finish the job
locks, i havent fought any yet... ill let ya know when i do
druid i havent fought, the class scares me though, but well see
hunter... ahh yes theres the rub, no more kiting makes only BM a threat... and with prep u get 2 evasions/sprints/vanish, just dodge damage during his red phase and the rest isnt too rough, COS the freeze trap and keep trinket open
BUT know this, with the deadzone gone, a 5yd conc shot triggering its improved talent is very *********** u will wanna break your keyboard in half haha
mage... a interesting fight, frost cant kite ya do it becomes a damage race... a good cos can ruin their entire fight (open premed step garrote shiv expose armor, then sprint or cos when u need root breakers... step will be open a second time if you need it... dirty deeds+step+5pt evasion when they are low is a surprise to them so far) || fire is easier since they lack the control... i dont even really need cds
paladin: still easy, ret is a lil more fun but they cant dish it out fast enough, and step prevents hoj> run away> heal.... youll always force a bubble and when they do, thats when u get back in stealth
rogue: is WEIRD holy sh*t, ar/prep eats rogues alive, so thats the hard one to kill... mut isnt so complicated since prep is a best vs it, GOTTA keep crip on though... full combat is like fightin a warr, a well timed evasion (free cp too for me) breaks it, the GOOD thing that riposte and ghostly are anti rogue, and 1 well timed step at low hp can end it, especially if they try to gouge and run to restealth
DEADLY THROW MISSLE SPEED IS FAST ENOUGH TO HIT YOU BEFORE COMBAT DROPS AFTER A GOUGE, DONT TRY IT NEAR THE OPPONENT ROGUE: maybe if u run far far away, but i dunno honestly, havent seen many try it
shaman, is interesting... i had an easier time vs enhance (riposte and ghostly alone ruin that class, step kick if they try to kite into a heal) and elemental (big plus, since this class used to scare me... the anti kite thing really @#%^s with them... step right before a cast finishs and youll LOS it sometimes, allows for a quick finish evis at low hp) | resto however i havent fought a good one i could beat... ill let u know when i do beat one
WARRIOR: the end is here! we win! ud step rogue with riposte wins that fight! premed step garrote, shiv into a 5pt rupture then evasion... they fear u wotf, riposte will disarm now, just use deadly for mh and this fight is cake (against the warrs i fought so far, full glad gear, dt or s2 weapons, ms builds)
my overall view: while im sure i havent been fighting the BEST of their classes, 0-20-41 step is pretty vicious, a good end finisher makes a lot of fights unexpected, and some caster will get LOS'd if you step at the end of a cast
side note, 5 pt evis crit (with DD in effect and step bonus) THROUGH 400 RESILIENCE was almost 2400 (0/3 imp evis)
dirty deeds is pretty nasty for a talent, and quite possibly our best pvp upgrade of the patch
my builds easiest fights: fire mages, priests, ms warriors
hardest: resto sham, bm hunter, im FIGURING druid will be but unsure atm
