I play assasins in all realms and have played most all specs. I believe that except for shadowblades who get 2 hand perfs that can be very effective, most CS styles are less effective than they should be. Both the PA and Backstab chains should be able to do enough damage to offset the loss of off had damage you get when you spec high in this line. Most LA, DW and CD style chains are easier to execute and do more damage than the classic assasination lines. Also the any time styles require less endurance and have more bang for the buck.
My main nightshade is still specced 44 CS, but I am seriously wondering if it continues to make sense. My rr5 nightshade seems to do better with 44 cd 44 blade and my shadowblade and infiltrator have no higher than 34 cs. The line needs to be adjusted.

Assassins are so overpatched they don't need anything. LOL venom damage and very good melee damage. They should outpatch the venom changes again. I don't like to play my NS anymore cause it's so boring...

Don't bring up assassin love, or we might get it... seeing as every few patches assassins are getting some loving.

Depends on what you consider CS should be or not. CS stealth openers are very powerful, but the standard styles aren't as efficient as those available in CD/DW/LA, plus NS/infs may be better off capitalizing on higher OH swing rates to take advantage of the new OP poisons, namely the dd proc one.
Question is: should CS be a line that outshines CD/DW/LA in standard fights?
Considering the current assassin archetype potential which is simply ridiculous, any buff to any assassin class would be VERY unwelcome.

CS Line needs an anytime other than Garrotte and the 50 style needs re-working
Other than that the damage doesn't need to be touched

I dont think hes trolling.. cs uust doesnt do as much dps as it used to especially after reworking all tgose ithe lines to have evade stuns and high growth. anytime styles. personally id like to see item swapping nerfed.. maybe put an immunity timer on each type of poison of at least 10 seconds so they can still do some swapping and use more than 2 types of poison but not a 200 dmg dot poison with every swing
