Hey all. I've not tested this build as I don't have an assassin, but I was wondering if it would be viable/worthwile. thanks

[skill]Way of Perfection[/skill][skill]Beguiling Haze[/skill][skill]Malicious Strike[/skill][skill]Plague Touch[/skill][skill]Enfeebling Touch[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Shadow Arts - 11 + 1 + 1
Critical Strikes - 11 + 1
Curses - 8

Useage:

Just before battle cast way of perfection and critical agility, then shadow step to a caster using beguiling haze. Malicious strike for damage and critical, renewing critical agility. Shadow sanctuary for additional health and armour, and then use plague touch to pass blindness to foe. Use enfeebling touch to keep a condition on between dazed and blindness.

Variants:

- Necrosis instead of Shadow Sanctuary for extra damage
[skill]Critical Defenses[/skill] - for extra defense
[skill]Iron Palm[/skill] - for knockdown and extra damage

what do you think?

short answer: no
there are too many things that already work better
its an interesting build, but MoebiusDeathBlossom > most things

The damage is non-existant (physicals kill stuff)
Enfeebling Blood owns the crap out of Enfeebling Touch.
This build does nothing.

If you're gonna run Beguiling Haze, at least take a short-recharging dageer combo to deal damage too.

Golden Fox / Wild Strike / Critical Strike works fine and makes up for Haze's huge cost.

You want a combo in there somewhere.

BHA primary caster threat, c-space secondary caster threat, scan for key casts to nail with DShot.

I actually ran a similar build to this through a few areas of Nightfall, Boreas Seabed, and against Kuunavang. Works pretty well. I had Read the Wind over Disrupting Accuracy, and two hard interrupts, though.
