A/X Way of the Assassin Build

Im aware that Shadow Prison can kill faster, and I am aware that Assassin Critical hits are not massive damage like a Dervishes/Hammer Warrior

This Build uses Critical Strikes to augment your spike damage, and with the use of Knock Down allows for you to finish off the enemy before they can save themselves.

[card]Way of The Assassin[/card][card]Mark of Instability[/card][card]Black Lotus strike[/card][card]Twisting Fangs[/card][card]Falling Spider[/card][card]Blades of Steel[/card] The last 2 are optional (usually res sig and Feigned/Shadow Refuge)

Attributes:

14 dagger
13 Critical
8 shadow mastery (if your using feigned)

you have a ton of extra energy and WotA is just useless on daggers. try mobius?

I've done the moebuis thing its not that fun

The thing with WAy of the assassin is the damage does come.

Not only that but constant Criticals (or very frequent) also means your auto attacks arent as weak, which means if you need to finish off a surviving target its not as hard.

[skill]Way of the Assassin[/skill] Requires you to be under the effects of an enchantment. Try [skill]Way of Perfection[/skill]

you know you dont have to spam DB with moebus right? you can use other skills. and dont auto attack with daggers. try an axe or something.

This is the current bar I am running. I have not made it to cap Moebious Strike yet. I did spend a day doing enough of Nightfall to get Critical Agility and Way of the Assassin. Not anywhere near a top build, but it serves me at this stage of the game.

I am quite happy with the way it works. Way of the Assassin keeps Critical Agility and Critical Defence up. Golden Lotus feeds my Energy back.

Wild Strike and Jagged Strike are chosen because of their short cooldown. Death Blossum because it is Death Blossum.

I decided to put in Splinter Weapon to get more AoE damage going. This is possible because the remaining skills are all in Critical Strikes and Dagger Mastery, affording me some points into Channeling.

No self-heal because Monks are better at it. No Resurrect because I reckon I'll be among the first to drop anyway. Bad excuse?

way2copy yanssassin and fail!

copy yansassin? 0_o...no thanks yan.

Man Yanman, your ego needs a big dip >.< constructive criticism is so much better..

DruggedChimps suggestion is very good, the OP's attack chain is pretty deadly. I'd leave out the Res sig probably though (depending on where the fight is) not because you are the first to go, but because its better for casters or even warriors to ressurect a fallen teammember than for an assassin, who has to keep up the pressure in order not to get attacked back upon ^^.

Wreck Havoc and win ofcourse..

You're right Mistical miss, but so far, no one has been able to crush it.

And apparently the moderation-folks here are censoring completely jovial and inoffensive posts now.

*Yawns*

Way of the Assassin is a nice skill, but I have never used it yet and doubt I'll be doing so for quite some while now.
That is my on-topic contribution for here, since I appear to be being watched.
