13 dagger mastery(9+4)
09 Deadly Arts(8+1)
10 Shadow Arts(9+1)
10 Critical Strikes(9+1)

Skills:
Jagged Strike: Cuts the foes for him to bleed for 7 seconds
Iron Palm: Strikes the foes for 32 earth dmg if he suffers from a condition he is knocked down
Falling Spider: Use right after iron palm will poison foe for a few
Death Blossom: Will deal even more dmg
Flashing Blades: Invincible 75% of the time for 27-30 seconds

use the skills in the presented order to have nice success

PS: do not use flashing blades right away or else ur energy will run out quick

Energy management?

Skill recharge?

Hardly perfect.

Just for the reference... 7 + 4 = 11... not 13. Welcome to earth. Our maths works!

also... Flashing Blades isn't all too good. It's only of use to a 'sin that stays attacking in the front lines. Which is, IMO, a bad one. Likely a dead one, too. Death's Retreat or something is a better defensive skill. It hardly makes you 'invincible' - Fireballs will still wtfpwn you with your 70 AL.

Aaaand... no Impale? Shame on you!

*world's biggest Impale lover*

Flashing Blades is something I use for farming dyes (and occasionally rare materials) on Shing Jea island. Very nice for soloing the Siege of Tsumei Village quest for dye.... ^_^

That said though, I do use it occasionally in other PvE builds which have enough defensive measures to survive being in the fray for a while (such as the appropriate Mesmer elemental Mantra)...

And yes, Impale is needed after Death Blossom these days. Very shiny with Deep Woundage.

I laughed out loud. I really did. Now my teacher is mad.

use seeping wound for this build...but change the attributes and skills a bit.

Lol No Twisting Fangs

Well it's good. Because you made no combo mistakes.

But you have to look at what your sin needs to do(ganking, pressure, interrupt, team? , spike? ), and then start selecting skills. Not the other way around: get skills that combo on each other, and then hit RA. It won't produce good builds that way.

flashing blades is ok, gives u a nice bundle of protection against melee damage (swords, axes etc) but it does nothing at all against spells. that lightning orb that just embedded itself in your face is proof of that.

I for one would never use Deep Wound on an enemy I'd hexed with Mark of Pain. I use it on AI tanks because they'll have it for its full duration, meaning more overall damage to the hoarde for my energy. (An MoPed tank in the middle of a mob is best hit with many weak attacks than a rapid spike, and Deep Wound would ruin that)... Thats just one way of doing it though. If you actually want to solo-spike then Deep Wound is very handy.

No one takes Mark of Pain in PvP. Deep Wound is for PvP.

SotiCoto, notice how Hyonsai and -.- agree about one thing: Deep Wound is needed/nice in sin builds. Your build is not an assassin build , designed the way an assassin should behave.

OMG! The generic "over-used" burster is better than this....

If you think having a 75% chance to block melee is invincible, you should really learn more about hexes/spells.

Well to be honest, you've used your head which is probably the most important thing in the situation. I do agree that deep wound is useful however I don't see it as a requirment. Often I'd prefer to cripple then deep wound in certain situations. Soticoco has made a great example of assassin behaviours, how would you like your assassin to behave to make it's most effectivness?

This is no where near a perfect build. Shadow refuge is a pretty useless skill over feigned nurtrality. (however with flashing blades it has more meaning)

I'd say you need to define this build more strongly on it's meaning.
