Time to reveal my secret build pvp/pve

I'm gonna try it.

EDIT: Since I think daggers attack speed is more or less the same as sword, I think the best weapon choice is a Sword with +5 energy and +20% enchantments, and a Jewelled Chakram with +5 armor and +45 hp when enchanted. But I'd like to know what's exactly the attack speed for daggers.

this build sounds very intresting... going to have to get some faction to skill unlock.

Nice, sounds like this build would be very useful
I never thought about that, don't know enough about Mesmers
I'll have to try this sometime..maybe tomorrow :P
Very nice job.
/clap

I don't know how effective it is yet, but it sure sounds FUN.

Wow, i was expecting something completely ridiculous and a build that the whole world uses (Like the echo nunker thread in ele ).

I think i'd be better as Me/A though personally, 16 Illusion would hurt alot more, not to mention you can put the excess in fast casting and bring along Distortion (maybe). Quite an interesting build though. Its still plagued by crippling though. The main weakness to an IW, specially since you can't evade it while using Dark Escape.

thanks for the comments, like i said earlier, if i am fighting something like imps, which i dont fight with this build, i would bring elemental resistance to soften the blows in between the down time of dark escape. If you dont like those skills, no one is making you run them its just my preference.

no i dont think this would work very good on trolls, maybe something with repeating strike/flashingblades/live vicariously? but even that would be hard.
assasins arent really meant for big group aggros, so there arent that many skills to help in situations like that, if you get something working definately tell me i would be very interested in it and I would praise you as a god for a few days :P

Might be fun to try a pair of A/Me using Arcane Mimicry, one with IW and another with Locust's Fury. With 13 in DM you'd both have 46% double strike, giving you in effect a 49 or so dmg IW. You could only keep it up half of the time though, with Mimicry's cooldown. But that's a lot of armor-ignoring damage over 30 seconds (1,100 or so each).

Nice build though. Great use of Dark Escape. Me/A is probably the way to go, since you're giving up the Assassin's main benefit (energy gain on crit).

This build sounds really cool and I sure wanna try it, but where can i capture the elite skill? Is getting to Droks the only way?

unfortunately droks is the only way unless you wanna do iron mines, which is a hassle, and doesnt always spawn

Ingenious build, have been using it in RA tonight as a Me/A.

lol it owns mending pallies, works pretty good everywhere I must admit

@Araid: If you used zealous daggers or any sort of zealous wep it wouldn't matter since you woudlnt' be gaining any energy from them. Zealous wep require you to 'hit' and IW doesnt' deal any melee dmg but armor ignoring chaos dmg. Therefore you dont' gain adrenaline or hp from vamp or energy from zealous mods since you're not technically 'hitting' the enemy. A build I've been thinking of but never got around to, very nice though. Once I finish up my mes I think I can get my glad points with it now =]

Ok before I end the post let me rant like an old hag: My team and I (playing as spirit spammer) won 9 times consecutively. Now I'm not a pvper much to say so getting the glad title finally was a big deal to me. But darn it we lost the last battle. Argh! I can't even get the first Glad title lol =]

Ok quick question here, does the damage from IW get affected by spells such as retribution or empathy?

on a completely different note....

its a shame sand shards doesnt stack with iw.... a d/me or me/d would rule with that

this is a really good build
but i don't have an assasin
