In the end, just play the build you like to play. and then at that point try shadow for a bit to see if you like it better. You'll likely want to stick with lightning until you get all your HM skills. but keeping up the poison stacks and having perfect ani-cancel between your 4 and RB is not easy. On the surface it looks easier because of permastealth. This isn't so much a feature of the lightning build, but just something to keep in mind. BMs all go fire and shadow is the more popular build for NA/EU, so less competition from fellow sins for lightning accessories.
The only other class that uses lightning right now is BD. Your black tower elemental accessories are less contested for. Since your damage comes from stealth, it's going to always be up. Most people don't have the ping to do this - basically anything higher than about 20 ping is too much.Įxtra movement speed/evasion/Crit damage stats while in stealth. you should have higher dps with this build. If played perfectly with low ping and very good ani-cancel. You are also not limited to only being in stealth to do damage. Shadow requires less precise ani-canceling and is easier to stack and keep 5 poison stacks up. That out of stealth damage is mostly shadow.Įasier to master. which relies on chaining CC's and doing damage while out of stealth (LB RB spam with close shave or LB RB F spam with dark strike). In PvP, the general playstyle is a combo build.
Tower of Infinity doesn't let you just permastealth, so lightning loses out heavily until we get to a point where you just blow stuff up in 10 seconds (at which point lightning would be ok) - you need to do shadow until then for ToI. This build can be used for tower and pvp. You also have more immediate access to party decoy and smoke screen skills for dungeon play. Your best damage comes from decoy stance LB RB F (or RB F during blue buff / soulburn), but you can still do decent damage if you need to stay in stealth for a little while. More versatile and party utility friendly. They do have unique advantages / disadvantages over each other, but one isn't clearly the better build. I'm going to start off saying that neither build is straight up better than the other - it's really up to preference of playstyle.
