so i made this build and so far its pretty sucessiful at killing turtles (if the monks are distracted or away from them lol)
armor: a pretty one
weapon: good old xuekao
atributes:
dagger mastery 15
critical strikes 13
shadow arts 11
skills:
golden phoenix strike
twisting fangs
golden lotus strike
wild strike
blades of steel
shadow form [e]
*testing slot*

well basically you watch for the right time to charge in, when the warriors aggro you, use shadow form, do the combo once and keep hitting, youll probably die, but so will the turtle if noone spams heals on it, its pretty nice and makes luxons mad at you XD
if you have any sugestions abt this build feel free to post here, i just made and tested for a few mins so its kinda on "beta" stage lol
EDIT: oh, and can be used to obliterate a single target too, works really well, i was thinking abt getting the enchant that garantee your next X hits, so i can land golden lotus> wild strike and drop stances from rangers and warriors
turtle killer!

IMAPLE AND MARK OF STABILITY FOR MEGA PWNAGE!!
great build, ive ran something similair as A/E with shocking daggers and the lighting damage enchant for 11 more damage with each hit.
But mark of death might be nice to, or even shadowy burden to give them 20 less armor
ill play around with it and nice job again!
**EDIT** So ive played around with this build the past 2 days or so, and i can say my warrior kill count has skyrocketed! I also managed to take down a mes with full health AND Illusion of Weakness on in just 1.5 bar recharges.
Very nice...now back to some more tests...

ok so..im bumping this because its great at killing anything you want, whenever you want.
A/E for conjure lighting for more pwn damage

IIRC the IW mesmer will hurt you even with Shadow Form. I have the feeling that LambentViper and OP are talking about totally different builds. Impale is deadly arts and he has shadow mastery for Shadow form.
Also why the hell would anyone use blades of steel??? It's max damage bonus is 50 which is just a bit more than death blossom which is something like 43 and it doesn't need recharging attacks.
