A/Me
Illusion - 7
Dagger - 15 (1 + 3)
Shadow - 11 (+1)
Critical - 8 (+1)
Shrouded Armor for energy
Zealous Daggers - Everthorns, Ceremonial, any dagger with a zealous mod
Leaping Mantis Sting
Wild Strike
Death Blossom
Mobius Strike[E] - can be changed to some other offhand
Shadowy Burden
Dark Escape
Shadow Refuge
Illusion of Weakness
no Res sig since its built for alliance battles and fort aspenwood
you can replace dark espace with a res sig for pve play
idea is to cast illusion of weakness before battle followed by shadow refuge
find a target and cast shadowy burden then the combo
low e-cost and low recharge so the combo is spammable
also use dark escape when in trouble
comments and suggestions welcome
nothing useless pls

Change death blossom to Twisting Fangs and shadowy burden to Death's Charge and you have a pretty good build.

Though if you're not going to use TF try dropping CS down to 8 (the break points for energy return are 8 and 13 I believe) other than that - 'tis quite a nice build:-)

You may want to try raising Dagger Mastery instead of Shadow Arts as there is no difference between S.Refuge and S.Burden at 13 compaired to 12

raised dagger to 15 and critical lowered to 8
illusion 7 dagger 15(1+3) shadow 11(+1) critical 8(+1) lapsus
idk i was always a fan of using conjure phantasm or nightmare and the ethereal burden or w/e its called slow them down and degen spike...

mesmer skills are a bit more costly when it comes to energy.
mesmer have a higher amount of energy then assassin with shrouded armor. also it sounds like you dont play much as a sin but more as a mesmer just what i get out of your post Morgarath
actualy this build is pretty good, i rarely see sin and mes in the same sentence...but other than that i would take dagger mastery from 15 down to 12 just becuase theres not that much of a difference and damage, and probally put some into both illusion and shadow arts from what you got from the lower in dagger mastery

wont make much of a difference by doing that
shadow refuge is going to stay at 9 regen but increase the amount of health gained when it ends, at 12-13 shadow you gain 68-72 health when it ends and if your attacking dark escape will be the same your only going to gain 1-2 second on its duration which wont make a difference because of its long recharge and illusion of weakness wont be a big difference either at 7 illusion you gain 139 when it triggers raising illusion to 8-9 you only gain 151-164 when it triggers. shadowy burden will only add 1 second to the duration if raised to 12 at 13 it doesnt add to the duration stays at 13 seconds what i am thinking of doing is replacing dark escape for shadow of haste for a constant 15% increase in movement but im probably going to stick with dark escape because of a bigger speed boost and you also take half dmg when running away. Neverending Silence
ive found that calltrops works nicely in some circumstances so u might consider that. it is a nice build tho
