Yes.
No. The actual issue for a sneak attack focused build is sneak attack immunity. Which can only be bypassed by Assassin's Trick, Wrack Construct, or Shadow Mastery (core 6 Shadowdancer). That's why my chucker is currently in Shadowdancer.
Good point, that's a major thing I forgot. Thanks for not being a douche about pointing it out.

HOW DOES YOUR BUILD GET ASSASSINS TRICK? OR MARK OF THE HUNTED?
Caps locks is not cruise control for cool.

Did you forget the part where lvl 30 feats dont just provide elemental power but a separate scaling proc? You sort of leave that out when you mention Hide/3 * RP.
If your Hide is 150 Perma, that's 50dmg * (180RP*1.5) = 135dmg (very good, when it procs). 2d20 from Scion of Air * 500 Spell power is 100 avg damage, and you dont have a range or Sneak Attack requirement on it. The damage portion is basically a wash if youve slotted deception gear and have LOTS of Armor piercing, and extended SA range. Even then calling it a wash is being a little generous but whatever. And that's just on stuff that has fort, not SA attack immune.
You might be on crack.
You might be getting your burns from the 90's.

I'm not advocating against SA. I made the original SA thrower build (Dark Stars) like 2 years ago. BEFORE scalling and RP. But SA never applied 100% of the time, and with range issue, ON A THROWER, its far less than 100% of the time. I know this from years of playing throwers. SA is awesome on thrower, but it should be your tertiary concern AFTER
1. Throw Speed (Easy to max since mostly feats + haste, but still number 1)
2. Missile Proc Rate (SE/ANT/Doubleshot)
3. Physical Damage
4. Elemental/Alignment proc dmg/missile
5. SA Damage
*If you dont want to be a piece of shit noob who can only kill trash.
Decent points. I disagree with parts of what you say, but it occurs to me that debating you is likely pointless as I'll just run up against the wall of your pretension (almost like a... firewall...). "I made the original!" do you even hear yourself? And your conviction that you are king of the throwers. Everybody knows you prefer catching anyway.
As always you can be counted on to be a douche, Sallysobsob.
