Assassin skills seemed to burn up my energy fast, even with Critical strikes, but adrenal skills don't. Combine this with a couple of the new Warrior skills and Shadow Arts and you have a hit and run Warrior that can jump right past the first enemies to hit tard targets! Also, heavy armour means you have more staying power than an Assassin. The build looks like this at the moment, as I'm limited by the skills you get given at the start. "Commando" Skills: Dragon Slash, Sever Artery, Gash, Signet of Strength, Tiger's Fury, Death's Charge, Viper's defense, Shadow Refuge. Attributes: Strength: 10 Swordsmanship: 10 Shadow Arts: 11 The tactic used is to trigger Signet of Strengh as soon as you enter an area, as it never expires, and will often recharge before you reach the enemy. Pick whatever is going to cause your team the most annoyance (usually Ritualists) and charge. If you get hit, use Death's Charge to reach the target faster and heal. Combine Sever Artery and Gash for good effect (yeah, reminds me a bit of Assassin chaining). Shadow Refuge is best used when you've only taken a bit of damage, as it takes 4 seconds to kick in. If you get badly whooped, use Viper's Defense, then Death's Charge to escape, heal, then renew the attack. Any suggestions would be useful. |
