Ambush vs Sneak Attack vs Shadow Swipe

Which is better?
I like the no miss from sneak attack, and the boost from shadow swipe...
and how much increases a crit from ambush?

if you have to choose two to put in a meniss which would be?

Re: Ambush vs Sneak Attack vs Shadow Swipe

For PvE I kept shadow swipe and sneak attack on mine, I replaced ambush eventually with cunning. Swipe's buff stacks so in Swamp I hit em 2 or 3 times with it then, if they arent dead, hit a sneak attack.

Re: Ambush vs Sneak Attack vs Shadow Swipe

I only use my meniss in chaotic swamp mode and it is really hepful. Not even tried to put it on ladder because seriously meniss sucks all time. Cunning, shadow storm, shadow swipe, sneak/ambush.

Edit: i prefer ambush over sneak. Buffs your meniss with shadow swipe then do ambush. :)

You've pretty much outlined their advantages!
Ambush's critical (like all other critical attacks) will double the power of the attack. Therefore, Ambush is actually 70 power pretty much all the time (except against monsters with the talent Evade).

For Meniss, I think Shadow Swipe is a must out of all of those 3. Ambush would be my next preference because it is, usually, better than Sneak Attack, in terms of power. Ambush doesn't miss often as well.

Good luck!

Re: Ambush vs Sneak Attack vs Shadow Swipe

I replaced Sneak Attack with Ambush and can honestly say, they both suck in Ladder and PvP. When they trigger instead of Shadow Swipe I get saddened. A couple shadow swipes that trigger the MATK boost will do more damage in the long run then Sneak Attack or Ambush.

Im rebreeding my Meniss to S before I replace my Sneak Attack/Shadow Swipe slot with a Dream Thief.
