    Rez Wouldn't mind any attributes...

    And even then, this doesn't even look like a dagger chain to me, you basically have a Lead Attack, Hex, Hex-dependent Off-Hand, Dual Attack, Offensive Signet, THEN an Off-Hand Attack which must follow a lead attack... I suppose you're going to use Jagged Strike once more then...
    Then you tossed in Dash, likely to make up for the lack of a snare or shadow step.
    Only good thing I can say about this, is the fact that you didn't forget your res sig ^^

    You do seem to like Jagged Strike, Fox Fangs and Nine Tail Strike though, maybe try making a build around each skill separately, together they'll hardly make a good chain, imo, especially since it doesn't have any Deep Wound.

    Yeah, I just decided to start playing PvP a couple of days ago. I have already realized how hard it is to set up a good build. I've tried so many different combinations today. This is harder than I thought.

    As for attributes.
    15 Dagger
    9 Deadly
    10 Critical

    By the looks of your profile you have played Guild Wars for a little over a year...and yet you still suck...

    I swear, GW attracts some of the most degenerate minds in the MMORPG community.

    I swear, GW attracts some of the most degenerate minds in the MMORPG community. look who's talking. stop complaining and teach. doesn't do any good to sit on your ass and tell everyone else off if you won't do anything about it.

    yeah generally in pvp if you want a good solid build it usually starts out as an idea. maybe you want to use an unpopular skill and make it useful to the clever such as the duo-combo I like [skill]auspicious incantation[/skill] with [skill]ether prism[/skill] in which you only need 30 energy to recharge your entire bar, instead of 50. even better is replacing incantation with [skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill] to have more stats in places you need it. not as much energy but a little bit more offensive and can be pure ele.

    since you like jagged combo and (I assume) you seem to only have factions try and build up on it. such as jagged, wild, horns, falling, blades to name one. sic attack skills but can really put the pain on, especially with seeping wound. if you want to keep flashing blades then no big deal the combo still works. to upkeep the stance upgrade to at least 15 dagger and have zealous daggers, since the stance only works if you are attacking so why not gain energy as well? for a shadow step you can use deaths charge if you like or you can use dash and siphon speed to close in for the kill.

    if you want to use siphon speed I suggest you exploit it as well. such as this combo.

    Siphon Speed
    Black mantis thrust
    Jungle Strike
    Horns Of The Ox
    Falling Spider
    Twisting fangs
    Dash
    (optional/res)

    Not many skills to save yourself but can unload a hefty amount of damage and can recharge while your opponent tries to limp away.

    Just some advice for the new guy. welcome to PvP, home of gladiators.

    ...or you could just tell him what's wrong with his build, and tell him how to improve it. He's asking for thoughts about the build, mind you, not what stupid conclusions you make out of his willingness to make a few builds.

    Someone too stupid to make a thread in the proper format does not deserve help.

    Sorry for thinking people on this forum should have the mental capacity to follow directions. Lets all be sheep and blindly help those who do not help themselves.

    So you having stopped playing for a while somehow excuses your inability to follow directions and post with common sense?

    Your logic equals win?

    In that case, you can run a standard SP Assassin, but those get old fast, so I like to use this:

    http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:A/Mo_Shroud_of_Blades

    Just make sure that you don't try to spike a target when you're health's getting low, because Shroud disables your spells and you might need Siphon to get away fast or Restful to heal up.

    I'm quite tough on bad skillbars, but give this guy a break. He just started PvP'ing so he most likely has no clue. At least he realizes it's hard.

    the op'er should be hanged for posting such a ridiculous build. How can you not take such an inferior build personally? It is personally insulting and insulting to the community in general. The guy actually didn't put any points in Critical Hits!! Mother of God!! I'm starting to get really, REALLY MAD!! Not only should he be hanged (and I mean LITERALLY hanged..as in EXECUTED in REAL LIFE), but his/her family should be butchered too, in front of his/her eyes before he's tortured, burned, and finally hung over roasting coals. The more I think about this...*no points in criticals?*...the more I wish I was an admin on this board, because while sadly, I lack the authority to execute the op'er, it is not inconceivable that I may one day become an admin on this forum and that I can at least ban his account. This Game is not something to be trifled with, op'er!! How dare you not research the optimal build before posting such smut!! MOTHER OF -


    I actually had to hook up another moniter to my computer because I was so overcome with rage that I stabbed the lcd screen of the one I was using! So allow me to continue:

    - GOD what were you thinking? Do us all a favor and keep your unclean vibe away from the sanctity of this Game. If I could meld with the electrons of my PC I'd travel through any length of fiber optics to materialize before you and personally smack you down for this abominable affront to the intelligence of this Gaming Community. PRAY TO YOUR GOD THAT I DON"T LEARN YOUR NAME HEATHEN, FOR THIS WILL NOT EASILY BE FORGOTTEN!!
