You're going to have to try a little harder if you want to break the record for most line breaks and ellipses in a single post.

That was a good first attempt though.

Original Post:

I am looking for a reason to go Hemo for PVE. But I see some of these build recommendations for 2.3 missing some talents that would synergize very well with Hemo IMO...particularly for PvE.

I am talking about the 11/27/23 build in particular...Which seems to be the best PvE DPS build...

Why no Opportunity? a 20% buff to Garrote? Sounds like a perfect opener to me...
and I think you have to spend a point in Prep...which is such a great utility talent, I cannot see why you wouldn't...with Vanish you can restealth in a boss fight to reply Garrote again...Evasion...Blade Flurry?

In fact with Elusiveness talent...you could possibly hit Garrote 3? 4? times in a boss fight...Wouldn't this be a nice DPS boost? Even moreso to a boss under 35% HP with new Dirty Deeds Buff...

Intiative as well would likely grant additional CP as well...I see that as useful as CS or Gar would be the likely openers to majority of foes...going into 2/3pt SnD right off the bat

The one question and negative I potentially see of the 1pt in Prep is the loss of 1/2 in Weap expertise....How much of loss would this be? Does having higher +to hit offset this loss by enough?

Also what is the value of 4/5 Sword Spec over 4/5 Deadliness. Since calculations seem to imply that with added AP (1470-1514 it appears) spamming Hemo will out DPS SS on a per basis...

My own situation is that I don't have 2 worthy swords presently to make Sword spec worthwhile..So dumping 4pts into a talent that would only have 50% benefit seems like a waste to me...down the road...this would change of course...That is unless...for 2.3 Hemo build...Vindicator\Latro's 4/5 Sword Spec would outperform Vindicator\Malchazzen 4/5 Deadliness...

Here is the build I was looking at for 2.3

Another possibility is dropping out of Assn tree altogether and thereby maxing out key talents in Combat\Sub for Hemo...Not sure what CP generation would be like however...

You could dump pts in either Master of Sub for extra 10% damage or in new buffed Cheat Death...which for PvE...while a nice ability I see as more limited.....I think they key for any PvE Sub build would be maximizing attacks from Stealth...

Any thoughts appreciated...
