Fun PVE Build - Pyromaniac Poisoner

This one really is just for fun, I didn't even think it would work but it does (probably useless in PVP but heh)

Assassin/Elementalist

air - 2
Fire - 9
dagger mastery -9
deadly arts - 10
shadow arts - 4
critical hits - 13


Bed of Coals
Tehnai's Wind
Dancing Daggers
Entangling Asp
Siphon Strength
Critical Eye
Critical Defenses
Shadow Refuge

Basically start off either defensive or offensive based on what you're attacking, and mix 'n match as needed:
prep: crit eye
defensive: siphone strength + crit defenses, these with crit eye will keep you defenses going for ages, especially since your dagger damage is fairly basic, with 13 crits you will get the energy back quickly to go on the ...
offensive: lay down the coals and knock them into it with tehnai's wind, when the get back up, hit them with dancing daggers and then knock them back down again with entangling asp, which poisons them for ages as well

I took the two different lines of attacks to handle poor cooldowns on the pyromaniac side, and basically by switching between coals and poison I can keep going for ages with defenses up. It passed the jade knights test and it's great fun watching them alternatively turn green or run around on fire

Anyway, just for fun, maybe someone can make it better, here's hoping

Beat ya to it
It is a fun build though, I will whole hartedly agree... Check the build I posted, more focus on spike damage, and it is actually viable in PvP.

Yours is even more of a pyromaniac than mine
One fun thing about mine is the use of deadly arts - I'm really impressed with siphon strength / crit eye / crit defenses, basically if you are against someone attacking you physically, he won't get through. Entangling asp is great fun too

I tried it out in Fort Aspenwood yesterday and was quite impressed, it does dish out the pain and does stand up to a beating pretty well (Of course against muliple opponents you go down real quick, but heh, them's the breaks). Big advantage in pvp is that everyone is pretty much always attacking, and if you are in the middle of the battle they won't notice the bed of coals until everyone is knocked down into it with Tehnai's wind. Great stuff.

I'll definitely try out your build as soon as I get enough money to buy the spells!
