This is my attempt at making a PvP Rayan build. It focuses on Damage/Crit rate/Crit Bonus and makes use of clones but does not rely heavily upon them. It does max all clones so as to make the final clone more powerful and i do believe that the tome build adds to that as well. Ok feel free to comment and make suggestions to make it better. also, after a few edits, it turns out that this build has no leftover skill or tome points. sorry =\. but this IS just a guideline and it doesnt need to be followed to the "T". it also changes a lot as more players add information to my brain xD.

Anyways, since I’m not doing anything else at the moment, ill explain each tier a little bit =P

Tier 1, don’t max the first 2 passives for the same reason you wouldn’t do it on an arden. The total result will be basically worthless end game. The speed boost is obvious, there is ALWAYS a reason to go faster lol. Max your first clone/shadow as well. It will be able to throw off your enemies since its an exact copy of you (at least until you use a skill) also, each rank will make your last clone more powerful. You DO however want to max Blood Hand since it will help later in giving you more crit strike damage. Melted shadow can also be useful since it can save you in a tough situation. as for Traceless and Blood Poison, yeah I could have switched them and maxed poison and not the evasion, but time will tell as to whether that was a mistake or not. I also maxed the Substitute skill to increase survivability (Credit to Sekkaku for the insight)

Tier 2, Sorry still no big attacks yet. Max Spurt as well as both passives on the right side. i didnt max tremble because i wasnt sure whether or not it will be worth it later on. 

Tier 3, Now you will start adding to your attacks. This may or may not be a mistake, but from previous experience, tier 1-2 attacks arent usually worth crap anyway xD. max the clone, and the passive. clone because thats what rayans do and this one can use skills. and the passive to add crit bonus later on. also max blink move because that could be useful no matter what your level is. Here I made another edit. i took out the points from tier 4 to get shadow meld and used them to get Hide in this tier. that way you can still cloak without putting shadow sacrifice into cooldown. i also used some other leftover points to add to some attacks allowing for earlier PvP.

Tier 4, Now you start going heavy on the skill points lol. Tier 4 is where PvP really begins for most classes. you add a good amount of points to the attacks down the middle. After the edit stated above, I removed shadowmeld to add Hide instead so you can still make full use of Shadow Sacrifice. Your PvPing should start to be godly right around t4 though. these are some deadly attacks when used properly. (Click on my sig link to go my guide for more info) max shadow sacrifice and the passive below it as well as empathy on the bottom. these will add to your survivability. 

Tier 5, Max everything. All tier 5 skills are usually worth maxing. However, if needed, its always possible to take 2 points out of void as it is an opening skill and should be used while invisible. doing this will make the strength 600 no matter what.

Tomes, The points i added will increase your overall damage and crits. as well as giving you the tome that works like a Vim’s Raja. once i start playing i will be able to see if these tomes will work well or not. but i would focus on the Blade tomes first then move to the Dance tome. KILLING WILL IS ONE OF YOUR ULTIMATE TOMES! If you maxed all of the necessary passives it will give you a HUGE increase to your crit damage which is GREAT for PvP

Thanks again =) please comment. Also thank you Scythes and Sekkaku for catching my tier 4 error and giving me the link to the simulator. 

HELP ME GET A STICKY!! Your comments are appreciated as it has helped me refine my build and make it more suited for dominating in PvP. thank you all. if you like the build, please say so in a comment <3

For more PvP info, Look into my Guide (the bottom link of the 3 on the top of this post) and let me know what you think of it as well. Hopefully it can get a sticky as well =D

-MAJOR EDIT- after doing more researching, i have decided to change my build to incorporate Hide instead of Shadowmeld. This will allow you to still make full use of the Shadow Sacrifice skill. So now this build is more refined, deadly, and allows for even earlier PvPing =)

This is an Alternative PvP build. it offers later game PvP and there are no tomes in the boosting skills. these tomes have been converted to reducing cooldowns on the speed skill, and spurt (and increases the crit rate duration). it lengthens the duration of the final shadow, and gives increased defense when using substitute. melted shadow also now gives a 70% chance to remove a negative effect.
