Build Description

This is a special sin that can rip through blinding, and enchantments with ease, and and pressure(or spike) constantly. This is designed for GvG, or other arenas with healers, as you can see this is a pure offensive build, except for Critical Defenses which is to deter physical spikes against you(which is mostly 90% of all spikes). The reason I didn't put Way of the Assassin in is because it's overkill for criticals, with this setup, you have a 80% chance of critical(4/5 chance that you crit, every hit),it's very unusual to not crit, and also uses the elite slot for something better. Usage is obvious, unless you have no brains. BTW, this type of sin using Dark Apostasy was not my original idea, I just improved on it(in my opinion).
