An assassin that assassinates...

I don't normally play assassin, but I think it will be fun to develop an assassin that actually assassinates high value targets and hopefully ejects before death. There are a lot of "meh" builds on this forum when you compare them to high-tier warrior builds, so I hope to arrive at something more effective.

I enjoy Alliance battles, so I'm thinking about those specifically. There is often an important necromancer or monk in the back line that people are having difficulty reaching. Killing them quickly would be a great help, but since death is cheap in alliance battles, you also need to repeat the combo sooner rather than later.

As I go off to try this challenge for myself, I leave it to the reader to also give it a go. My default thought is 16 dagger and warrior secondary for Frenzy and optimally elite room left for AOD, but I shall see where it takes me.

I have the best idea EVER!! /sarcasm off*

Maybe look at the NUMEROUS assasin posts on in this forum section before saying "meh". Many here are great at actual assasination kills. And in fact, the majority of them ARE aimed at this idea.

WHY?! Cause you say so? Cause you are the l33t assasin king? I love people like you. Offers no examples, no credibility and doesn't even provide their OWN build to back their statements. I personally have many good assasin builds, that are fast killers. Additionaly, i have tested many of the builds here in the assasin forum and i can honestly say many of them are also very good. So have YOU tested them ALL out? Have you even looked at all of them? Ya know the little numbers at the bottom right of the forum section? That means there are additional pages of builds!!

So i'm calling you out now!!

You say all the builds here suck?? Then YOU create a build, post it here and let us scrutinize your potential "uber" assasin build that is a so called "TRUE assasinator"!!!

OH!! and BTW...

Not sure if this is common but I'm pretty sure it is:

Leaping Mantis Sting
Jungle Strike
Horns of the Ox
Falling Spider
Twisting Fangs
Aura of Displacement
Dash
Critical Eye

I just go 16 Dagger and 13 Critical. Seems to work fine but degen hurts quite a bit unless you have a Monk to help you. See how it works!

LoL. Loomy. Not picking a fight. I'm pointing out how snobbish, ignorant and arrogant you are being to everyone's effort in this forum section. I still dont see your build? Just cause you say something sucks doesn't mean it does.

However, i will leave you to your opinions. Enjoy Life.

I would recommend the classic AoD-GPS build.
