How to use flash dash effectively.

[Fleshwerk]

How do you pump flash dash into your rotation? What are the benefits of it in PVE/PVP?

At the minute I'm using it after roughly 3 double slashes, feels slightly clunky(could be down to lvl1 haste(a.speed4) and inexperience of the assassin class

Simple don't use it the benefit it gives is far less than just constant hitting with double slash due to its slow cast speed, minimal damage and low rate.

that's not helpful at all, and pure BULLLLLSHITE..

To help you out flesh, Its not super efficient at your level. You will need to level your Haste and your Flash Das to level 3 before you will reep the benefits.

Once a mob is yellowed it makes a very nice difference. The yellowing is quite RNG, but more often than not, in 1-2 FD's the mob is yellowed.

Once in a blue moon (really rarely) don I manage to kill a PB mob without it being yellowed, I will often FD first get a yellow, half the hp of the mob, then it needs re yellowing.

Its mainly trial and error pal, you will eventually find the sweet spot of when to FD, and then when its no longer required.

In terms of PVP, depending on the class, FD is cruicial. With a wiz/Archer, I very rarely FD as im more likely to just get them down as there health pools are small. Simular to an assassin, but then if they FD you while your Toe to Toe with them, they will win, so again depending on the player its a choice you will need to make. With warriors, your VERY unlikely to kill oe anyway, but if you want to, you will need Yellow up :P
Taos... Well... just run away :P

As I said earlier, its mainly trial and error, and you will start to find your particular sweet spots on when to use it and when not too.

But while lvling, you will want to use this on mobs with a slightly higher health pool.

Basically this!!

I've found that in PvP FD is absolute trash. The speed it takes to cast is shocking especially if you are against a warrior. A warrior can use TDB atleast 3 times before you even manage to use FD once. It doesn't stun people in PvP either as they can just walk around even when they are yellowed.

The only advantage I have found is when you are fighting monsters.

FlashDash should have an dash effect(1 step) after each usage if I remember correctly.

 

[Fleshwerk]

Yea it seems clunky for in/out pvping, a warrior with decent speed would just shift tdb you quicker than you can cast and run out. Needs a buff/speed adjusted by the sounds of it.

Is the yellow poison just a damage amplifier? Will it jam up a wiz casting if it gets applied? Does it spell lock tdb/fs while the yellow poison is up? Cheers, too busy catch up leveling to test the pvp waters atm lol

It's a very clunky spell considering it's on a 'sin.
The fact warriors can cast TDB faster then we can cast FD is a bit silly, too!

Don't use it for low tier trash (if you are farming BDD mobs / PB Mobs / Orcs or Bosses use it)
PvP you basically run like a lunatic, hit the target with FD, if yellow doesn't proc, keep running till it does then engage.

But like others said, wait till it is level 3 (its useless until then).
