Whatever build I use, it seems playing a sin pretty much centers around using Catpaw and managing you shards.
However, all that happens for me is that I jump a target - trying to make it a one on one situation as I believe once sins get into fray they die(?) - and try a combo. The usual sin stuff with SDS, GB, SWS, etc but usually only get one combo to connect. I always forget Catspaw - its just a damn hassle - my target darts out of range but then comes at me and one to two shots me through my paper thin cloth armour.
I try to be all agile like and keep out of range and hit accelarate etc but its all just so many damn buttons and stuff to remember during the heat of the battle that I just end up mashing stuff and dieing.
And thats if Im lucky enough in a mini to get a 1v1 - 99% of the time theres 2-3 at least on me after 3 secs and Im dead even quicker.
What am I doing so wrong? I see other SINs get huge amounts of kills.
Do they keep it simple? Watching another sin the other night seemed like she pretty much 2 shotted ppl before her target had even moved.
When I try this, I hit my combo, then my direction - and then they have gone - and Ive missed - and Ive used at least half of my shards up already.
Even during PVE - if I pull more than 2 mobs by accident Im usually dead. I try and stun one and move around but but the time Ive executed my combo on one to stun them Ive already taken a pounding by the other two.
Can anyone give me some advice? I really enjoy PVP and want to be effective - SINS seem to be effective if played right (like any class) but I am fully putting it out there that I just cant play one and Im on the verge of re-rolling unless some kind soul can point out the error of my ways?
