================================================== ========
Counters: Knockdowns, AoE damage, Touch Skills, Signets, and some Monster Skills.
================================================== ========
Usage:
*Use Glyph Of Swiftness, Deadly Paradox, then cast Shadowform (Use this combo everytime to renew Shadowform and keep it up aslong as you want with ease).
*Use a running skill to pull enemies together (if you use one). Try pulling as many enemies as you can, and pull them around until they are really tight together for more effectiveness and faster farming.
*Use Glyph of Lesser Energy, cast Ebon Battle Standard of Honor, then Sliver Armor (you can use EBSoH before or after using Sliver Armor).
*Use Air of Superiority before enemies start dying to gain benefits, keep it up as much as possible.
*Keep up Shadowform at all times.
*Conserve energy when you need to... Use Glyph of Lesser Energy only after using Shadowform, so you don't cancel it out with Glyph of Swiftness.
*Repeat usage until all enemies are dead.
*Target and attack enemies if there are only a few left to keep them from running away from Sliver. Using Staff is recommended as you can wand them from a distance away and bring them back to Sliver.
================================================== ========
Tips:
*Try pulling as many enemies as you can, and pull them around until they are really tight together for more effectiveness and faster farming.
*Pull enemies near a wall or "choke" point to help keep them from fleeing. Usually try to keep a wall or ledge on their left side, or your right side (not full tested, just a theory that seems to work).
*You can use Glyph of Swiftness with Sliver Armor whenever you want, just make sure it is ready for next round of Shadow Form. This helps when there isn't as many enemies to kill quick enough and get Air of Superiority to recharge your skills.
*You can also use 15 Shadowarts and still keep Perma Shadow going. This can be useful for needing attribute points for other skills. 16 Shadow Arts just makes it that much more safe and fool proof to keep it going.
*It is also good to have a Running skill to pull enemies together such as farming the Raptor Cave. Using [Deaths Charge] and [Storm Djinn's Haste] are good for farming the Raptor Cave. I personally use Mindbender instead of Storm Djinn's Haste, as I got max Asuran rank. Storm Djinn's Haste can keep you from gaining energy when running long distance, which is not a good thing with the build.
*[Grasping Earth] is good for places that have alot of melee enemies that tend to flee, this will keep them around long enough to die by sliver.

Dual Farming (Hero build/s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranger (hero): This is a simple FS build that can be useful for farming places like Stygian Veil with enemies that use resurrection spells. I threw in EoE which might help in some areas, but of course you will need an AoE damage/degen skill for yourself to get enemies health down below 90% in order for EoE to trigger. Anything can be changed to fit your dualing situation. Toxicity and Pestilence are good when using Viper's Defense for places where degen can be effective against enemies. Be sure to flag hero, disable their skills, and pull enemies into range of spirits.

================================================== ========
I have to say, this is yet another exciting farming build for Assassins... there are so many variants, and places to farm. The build really allows us to farm many places faster than we previously could with other professions... I'll keep you updated with new areas to farm. Have fun!
