Decreased the Health penalty on attribute-boosting major runes from 50 to 35. Existing runes are unaffected.
yeah
What if...
I don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but one I've been considering is...
Weaken Knees -> Black Mantis Thrust -> Falling Spider -> Twisting Fangs/Dual Attack of choice The Weaken Knees should make the falling spider connection completely unconditional because Black Mantis Thrust should trigger Weaken Knees, and at the same time the Weaken Knees triggers BMT. The opponent should be crippled and KD so the rest of the combo works. I haven't tested this yet though, just thought about it. ogami_ito
I’m currently running a very basic build for PvE:
Dancing Dagger>Fox Fangs>[optional Blinding Powder]>Twisting Fangs > Assassin’s Promise > run a way. I like it because a) since I have points in Deadly arts to use Assassin’s Promise, so it makes sense to use Dancing Daggers, and b) since Dancing daggers lets you damage and start-off the set from range, so you can abort the full set if it looks too crazy. And only recharge of 5/5 e means that if it misses (or Fox Fangs misses for that matter), you are not screwed. You will be at near full energy and twisting fangs will be up for the next attack (due to Assassin’s promise). ( I also like to add in Blinding Powder, Heart of Shadow, or course Shadow Refuge, and res sig or cap sig here) A variant I like is: Iron Palm >[Optional Entangling Asp]> Fox Fangs > Twisting Fangs > Assassin’s Promise. You will be screwed if the target does not die, but you are more likely to hit overall. Note in both of these, I’m fine with a critical strike skill of just 8. Twisting Fangs will do around 160 damage over 10 seconds to 500 hp mob (assuming it dies while deep wounds is till on)…and you are not sticking around to get crits to get energy up…that’s the job of Assassin’s Promise.

This may or may not be one that people know. It does an excellent amount of damage, and allows you to seamlessly go from enemy from enemy, if performed correctly. I only wish there was space on the skillbar to add more defensive/healing skills.
Assassin's Promise--> Mark of Instability--> Black Lotus Strike-->Twisting Fangs--> Falling Spider--> Death Blossom If you want to bring a rez, then there's really only one space left for healing/defensive, which I will usually fill with either Shadow Refuge or Vigorous Spirit. You don't necesarily need to use Assassin's Promise at the beginning. Use it when you know the enemy will die soon, or this build becomes almost useless. ogami_ito

Not sure what I think about that. Why not the standard Hex (Assassin's Promise)> Horns > Falling Spider > Twisting Fangs? Also, something I don't really get is why people seem to put a high priority on KDs. It delays action by, what...2 seconds or so? I understand that this could be good against spell casters though. ogami_ito
Another pretty simple combo:
Palm Strike > dual of your choice (best Twisting Fangs); Black Lotus Strike | Golden Phoenix Strike > another dual of your choice (Critical Strike if you are running Crit Def, or Death Blossom otherwise). The point here is that you have two off-hand attacks and two duals ready, so if one fails or is on cool-down, you have the next one ready. You need to have an enchant or a hex ready depending on if you use GPS or BLS. This way you are less likely to mess up your chain. If you want to be able to hit multiple targets, then GPS and Critical is the way to go (for 8 second cooldown). Otherwise its 12 seconds for Palm Strike>Death blossom. ogami_ito
Crippling Dagger > Dancing Daggers > Jungle Strike > Twisting Fangs>Assassin's Promise
Again...if you want to use Assassin's Promise and therefore want to utilize damaging attacks from Deadly Arts tree. Low-energy, low cooldown. Starting from range so you can choose the best time to jump into the melee. You are always ready for attack. Another different combo for PvE: Enchantment> Golden Phoenix Strike > Blinding Powder > Signet of Darknes > Twisting Fangs > Assassin’s Promise. This will do high damage quickly while preventing melee opponent from damaging you. Again, don’t need much invested in Critical. I tend to like this better than Hex>BLS because GPS has a smaller cool-down for just in-case something misses. X Cytherea X
my favorite combos are
leaping mantis sting - jungle strike - death blossom - moebius strike - death blossom (most direct damage) leaping mantis sting - temple strike - twisting fangs (5 conditions) also i often bring dash in my skillbar to catch up with kiters and continue my combo. (insert it anytime before or after a dagger attack) Cold
I use this combo in PvE: Jagged Strike - Wild Strike - Death Blossom - Jagged Strike - Wild Strike - Blades of Steel.
The build is: Critical - 13 Daggers - 16 Shadow - 4 Jagged Strike Wild Strike Death Blossom Blades of Steel Critical Eye Falshing Blades[elite] <- must have in PvE Shadow Refuge Res/Cap

To answer your first question, I don't like Horns of the Ox because it requires an enemy to be isolated, which often is not the case. To answer your second question, assasssins don't put high priority on KD for the sake of KD. All these builds use KD so they can use Falling Spider, which only works on an enemy that is knocked down.

art of war
well i use this build allaince battles its mostly for spell caster
skill set unspecting strike,temple srtike{e},twisting fangs,crippling dagger,shadow refuge,healing breeze and fox fangs. well during battles if i see running enemy ill use crippling daggers and then ill use unspecting strike as lead. If there a spell caster ill use temple strike to daze them and finish them off with twisting fangs. I use fox fangs to replace temple strike while it's recharging or if I dont have the energy for it. Use healing breeze and shadow refuge when needed. ogami_ito
Question: if you are going to go with repeating strike, why not just make a A/Me with illusionary weapons. I think there is a thread somewhere about that but I have not heard of any reports on how good it is. A sin with 15 or so Dagger mastery can get one attack a second. And since the attacks don't hit, Dark Escape can be on so the sin will take half damage.

I've tried a sort of high dam / degen 'sin out. It's decent IMO.
Dagger Mastery 12 (minor rune) Critical Strikes 13 (minor rune) Shadow Arts 9 (minor rune) Equipment: zealous daggers are very handy Unsuspecting Strike (for high initial damage) Fox Fangs (no evade / block) Twisting Fangs (to get 'em bleeding) Seeping Wound (to enhance twisting fangs' effect) Viper's Defense (in, poison) Death's Charge (out, heal) Shadow Ref (heal) Rez / Capt It's quite good in PvP. In PvE with full group you don't get to use seeping wound very often because the opponent is dead before you get to that point You can also use viper's defense before seeping wound cos' you don't have to be so close to the foe when using it. Tell me what you think and if you have any ideas for changes to make the build better.
Kyle
as stated the KD triggers falling spider. But also enemies cant attack when they are on their back. Which then leads to about 2 more seconds of assasin survivability. And it just makes people mad.
