Name: Immortal Assassin
Type: General PvP
Category: Tank/Damage
Attributes:
Critical Strikes- 10+ 3 + 1
Dagger Mastery- 8 + 3
Shadow Arts- 10 +3
Earth Prayers- 8
Skill Set:
Unsuspecting Strike [critical strikes]
Fox Fangs [dagger mastery]
Twisting Fangs [critical strikes]
Way of the Assasin [elite, critical strikes]
Mystic Regeneration [earth prayers]
Assassins Remedy [critical strikes]
Way of Perfection [shadow arts]
Critical Defenses [critical strikes]
Summary: This build is meant to survive massive damage and outank anything. The key lies in always keeping your enchantments up and constantly attack unless you have MASS hexing. In addition, you can take out a caster in a single combo because every hit is almost always a critical strike! The best part is that the enemy will always relentlessly attack an assassin that charges in first, but your a tank so.. you get it.
Tips:
-always keep all enchantments up
-always attack, especially if your taking damage, cause you heal with each hit and cure conditions when you combo
-if your critical defenses are about to run out go for nearest enemy
-way of the assassin should always be up and only works under enchantment
-if your careful you can solo entire RA teams if they don't have a anti melee hexer or a disenchanter
Gear:
-superior vig rune
-ensignias and extra rune should add up to 30 energy- the rest hp
-Zealous Dagger of Defense "guided by fate" (-1 energy regen +1 on hit, +5 defense, +15% damage while enchanted)
Credit: When Nightfall came out and Dervs were on the in and Assassins on the out because of survivability, I decided to make an almost invulnerable assassin to change the odds. This is an original build.

Note: Since this build is more sin then rt I put it under sin builds.

Profession: Rt/A
Name: Ritualist Sin Spiker
Type: CompetitivePvP
Category: Spiker
Attributes:
Channeling 11 + 3 + 1
Dagger Mastery 10
Deadly Arts 10
Skill Set:
Grasping Was Kurong [elite, channeling]
Nightmare Weapon [channeling]
Falling Spider [dagger mastery]
Ancestors Rage [channeling]
Vampiric Assault [deadly arts]
Impale [deadly arts]
Signet of Toxic Shock [deadly arts]
Ressurection Signet [no attribute]
Summary: This is the highest original dps I have come up with. Using channeling as a damage and heal buff this build executes an unorthadox spike that will send even the toughest builds reeling. Here is how to use it-
-when there are about 10 seconds before the match is about to start use grasping was kurong
-wait at the back of your group until they attack, taking the attention away from you
-pick your target and hit the attack button, you will run straight up to them
-when your close use nightmare weapon, the close the rest of the distance
-drop grasping was kurong and immediately hit with falling spider, during the last bit of the knock down use ancestors rage for another 120 damage or so
-hit with vampiric assault, by now you will have healed over 150 hp
-use impale for the finish, if their still hanging on to life from a prot spell or something, finish the job with signet of toxic shock
-use rez immediately if teamate goes down so you can keep attention away from yourself
Notes & Concerns: This build can only heal while it attacks, so get back to your healing or make good your escape right after the spike. You can equip as many hp runes as you want so long as your energy stays at 35 or so (you don't need that much but thirty always cuts it close after the first spike). All in all this is an excellent addition to any team because of moderate survivability and a powerful and unexpected spike. dps is around 550-650depending on the enemies armor in about 3-4 seconds.
-you should equip zealous daggers of defense with +15% damage while hp over 50%
Credit: I was inspired when I saw another player (can't remember his name) use grasping was kurong as a spike move and immediately went to work on an adaptation for an rt/assassin. This was the result.

Profession: Assassin/Any

Name: Unsuspecting Shadow

Type: PvE

Category: Spiker

Attributes: Dagger Mastery: 9+3, Critical Strikes 10+3, Shadow Arts 12+3+1

Skills Set: Shadow Form, Shadow Walk, Unsuspecting Strike, Golden Fang Strike, Death Blossom, Dark Escape, Feigned Neutrality, Resurrection Signet

Summary: Activate Shadow Form, shadow step to your target, and deliver your spike from left to right, repeating if nessacary. Use Dark Escape to cancel Shadow Walk shadow stepping you back to your previous location. While still under the effects of Dark Escape retreat to a safe location and activate Feigned Neutrality when Shadow Form wears off and wait until your health regenerates before attacking again.

Notes & Concerns: Beware of kiting opponents running back towards the location you activated Shadow Walk. Shadow Form has a lengthy recharge time but is not nessacary for you to attack. Area of Effect spells can still cause damage to you when under the effects of Shadow Form.

name silent death

prof A/xx

type utility (any as needed)

points and runes

dagger 10(+1+2) = 13

shadow 10 (+1) = 11

Critical 11 (+2) = 13

daggers any... 15% stance or ^50 preferred

armor any..... insignias..(chest and leggings preferrable infiltrator for the 10/10 phys piercing over the usual 15 while attacking) head, gloves, boots insignias can be any i usually run as radiants

skillbar jagged...wild strike..exhaust...blossom...flash blades(E) -27 secs.... shadow refuge....critical agility...ebon escape/death retreat

(prefer ebon myself)

usagegenerally underestimated...it doesn't over-use enchants or shadow steps except to evade bad situation or jump to an ally's aid; hence reducing its attractiveness to the pve AI's attentions until you've already hit home. It's not 'uber' but it's stable and it can; in a balanced and reliable party; tank very well if need be..and hold that aggro.

It's very utilitarian. It can adjust it's focus target purely by skill orders to annoy, kill, interupt, and generally provide a quite suitable spike and/or headache as neccessary.

I've seen a few builds vaguely similar to it, and i'm not claiming it as total unique...but it is the build i've created and used since the assassin became available to me when factions released .

Credit:
Uh ya me. Because, you know, I posted it first. Or whatever.
Though I did construct it because I liked my Shove build so much

I made my 2nd sin a couple of days ago and decided to try something new on her.

So here is the build which I have tested and believe to be very decent.

A/x

Attrib Points:

15- in Dagger Mastery
13- in Crit Strikes
rest in Shadow arts

gear:

I have survivor on the chest and leggings and radiant on the rest, major vigor, major dagger mastery on mask, minor crit, minor shadow and the rest attunement.

Skills:

[skill]jagged strike[/skill][skill]wild strike[/skill][skill]death blossom[/skill][skill]critical agility[/skill][skill]golden lotus strike[/skill][skill]flashing blades[/skill][skill]shadow refuge[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]

The skills are all 5 energy and very spammable with the bonus of wild strike canceling foe stance. Being enchanted with crit agility and using golden lotus strike is to recover energy, so use whenever available.
At 15 dagger mastery flashing blades provide 24/7 75% block rate.

Counters :anti melee.
Note: do not believe yourself invincible despite block rate
Note 2: jagged strike has 1 sec recharge now, the icons are outdated
