Dagger Warrior ?

ive seen very little discussion on the issue, but ive had good success with it.

basically your using some of the better assasin dagger builds, and adding some warrior stances and defensive capabilities to the mix

you dont get critical strikes, so energy management is key, but using Glads armor and +5 energy daggers make a monster difference.. along with golden lotus strike as your offhand

so many good dagger builds already out there... and alot of option.. but basically it goes something like this:

lead attack, i like unsuspecting, but thats my choice
offhand - Golden Lotus
Repeating strike
dual attack - death blossom

follow with a couple defensive stances.. Bonnetis is a must for energy, and any second stance of your choice. defensive stance, shroud of distress, glads defense, flashing blades etc...Assasins promise, if you can find it

last 2 spots are healers.. with shadow refuge and healing signet

attribute points go into dagger mastery, tactics, strength, and shadow arts, thought im not at my system to post the exact numbers, but Dagger was i think around 12, with strength/Tactics about 10+, and the rest in shadow, and the right daggers were very key.. i used zealous dragon scyths (+5 Energy) of fortitude

this is by no means meant as a guide or in any way 100% complete as there are many options on this build.. but im curious to see if anyone else has run something like this and what thier thoughts were.. i liked it alot with the right daggers.

thoughts ?

I... tested W/A with dagger in Isle of Nameless to be sure how I can work with it.

I can run a 4 combo set, E-management (Used Flourish[E] ) Healing Signet, a stance (Bonetti Defense for E-man. and self def) and Rez. The skills must cost 5 energy thought to works

I run Warrior's Endurance, Golden Lotus, Fox Fangs, Death BLossom, Shadow Refuge, Death's Charge, Signet of Capture/Distracting Blow, and Rez Sig.

Works gloriously.

I have 15% always -10 armor Split Chakrams of Defense +5. And Sentinels.

I'm running around being a kickass assassin with 95 armor and doing mad damage.

I've partied with A/X's, and they just marvel at me and wonder how I kill things so fast.

My response:

'I hax.'

Which I don't. RUn the build I recommended. Put all your points into Dagger and Strength, with the 2-5 extra pts in Shadow Arts for Refuge and CHarge. Refuge is only really needed for GOlden Lotus.

Enjoy!

i actually run Droxs Glads armor, as i dont really like the Factions armor. he started as a factions warrior, but as soon as a i got him to Kaining City i got over to LA, ran myself to Beacons, got a drox run, and im happy.

but the combination of Warrior armor/stances, with Assasins spike combos is rather powerful in my opinion. builds vary, but most of them seem to work pretty well
