A/E Knock Down Aftershock AKA "The Monk Killer" PvP Only

OH sweet sweet aftershock, how do I love you....

You will notice one thing about my assassin builds that stays the same...
The stats, I can switch elements at will because at 13 Dagger and 13 Critical, I'm gaining ALOT of nrg back from attacks... and 10-11 in an element is good for an attack class :-D

Stats

13 Dagger Mastery (Sup Rune and Helm)
13 Critical Strikes (Sup Rune)
10 Earth
7 Deadly (Minor Rune)
Major Vigor Rune(sup is outa price range right now)

Skills

Jagged Strike
Entangling Asp
Golden Lotus Strike
Iron Palm
Aftershock
Deaths Charge
Critcal Eye
Rez (Always :-D)

This is an AMBUSH BUILD ONLY... PvP

Wait till your warrior is all up in the monks grill... :-D
Teleport in, critical eye is needed for nrg upkeep because ur not landing alot of actuall attacks... once you and the warrior are right on top of the monk, hit jagged strike entagling asp, which will cause bleeding, poisen and a knock down, hrmm i have aftershock :-D... If you landed a critical or double strike on that lead hit, u just did a solid 200 Damage and a solid degen... AND your warrior is probably laughing by now... an evil giddy gleeful laugh... i know its kinda sadistic :-D ANYWAYS... Monks probably trying to stand back up by now... Iron palm sandwich anyone? HRMMMM Knocked down again... Hit him with a golden lotus to get ur nrg back up, dip out if u need some health, or just sit there and joining ur warrior on the brutal beating this monk is recieving... murdring monks with a friend is so much more entertaining anyways :-D this is also handy for necros, mesmers, pretty much any squishy targets, warriors will give u problems from balanced stance and solid armor, but if they forgot to bring balanced, good night :-D

Holla at cha boy, lemme know what ya think :-D IM OUT

Cryptic Shadows

another well done build.

ive actually seen this used in the jade minining place during the 2nd FPE.

Not bad. Looks like fun. I'll try it!

Why are you using Golden Lotus? You don't even have enchantment

Very few warriors use balanced stance by the way.

You could try Refuge --> GPS --> Horns of the Ox --> Aftershock --> Twisting Fangs --> Iron Palm

All in all, a nice build. I don't like the "ambush only" aspect of it since that doesn't always succeed in pvp, but it's workable.

no, lotus works the same way as golden pheonix does.
Yourself need to be enchanted...
