Riposte Assassin
---Where To Use---
Tank in an alliance battle... Yes it is odd that the primary is Assassin rather then warrior. This is useful in more then one way. First reson: you are an easy target for other warriors to go for. Second reson: Fast enery regen. Third reson: Shadow Refuge will be for effective in this way.

---How To Use---
Find a nice large group of enemys an run right into them. Use "For Great Justice!" to get you adrenelen a nice fast boost. Attack with your sword a few times and start to spam between Auspicious Parry and Riposte. Through in the acational "Watch Yourself!" to keep your defence up. If you are in trouble with Elementalists and other spell casters, use Auspicious Parry and "Fear Me!" to spam. They will be energyless in a few swings of that. be sure to spam Shadow Refuge to keep up your health. Use Healing Signet only after a battle is over, doing it in battle will most likely get you killed. If you are in dire need of it, be sure to have used "Watch Yourself!" before casting.

I have not tryed it but I bet you could try farming with this build. As long as you spam fast enough you wont take damage. You will be blocking most of it. Let me know if you can farm with it or not.

I dont think this is a good farming build. However, this could be a good PvE build.

  HackingHippie89 on 08/06/06 23:11

hmm rather than swordsmanship, why not use daggers, use a supp rune there so you have more points to spend in the other attributes

  cswella on 08/06/06 23:11

Have you actually used this in AvA? Seems kinda weak for it. You have no offensive attacks and MOST warriors will be smart enough to stop attacking if they keep getting riposted.

I really think a true assassin build would be much more effective in any situation.

Tank Builds in AvA isn't really useful. This could be used in PvE, but still, not that powerful.

  cswella on 08/06/06 23:12

@Hacking: Riposte only works with swords.

  The True Myth on 08/07/06 06:21
 
Please... Anyone who read this. Don't use it in PvP because you just screw up for serious players. Stick to your greenfarming.

  magnetic mage2 on 08/07/06 06:47

I've seen people use Bonettis Defense as well as the Ripostes as a troll farming build and this works out just fine. One of the best farmers I've ever seen. There you go

  CaptainBobby on 08/07/06 09:00

I use this build with my warrior except I max swords at 15 and tactics at 14 and use healing signet instead of shadow refuge. Its fun in RA when melee fighters have to attack you. I take out "For Great Justice" and "Fear me" and add in Gash and Final Thrust.

  GodMode on 08/07/06 13:35

the whole assassin main scares me...even with "watch yourself" you're still not a tank.

  Sunrunner on 08/07/06 17:15

you better "watch yourself" when you use this build

anyway, i admire you for trying to create a farming build and if it works for you, hey stick wait it, but there are many other farming builds that are much more effective than this one, nothing personal

  Hertrix on 08/07/06 17:16

People if you actually read his whole post, ITS NOT FOR FARMING! He says that you should use it in Alliance Battles. No your not a tank if you use watch yourself, but what he's trying to get at is that you want warriors to attack you so you can use auspicious parry on them and riposte, etc. Yes you might take some damage, so what? its nice like you get a DP when you die in an AB.
@ The True Myth: wtf are you talking about? this is not meant for pve. it is purposly meant for AB and AB only.

He said PvP, not PvE. And AB is considered PvP.

  Farmin No More on 08/07/06 19:37

ive used this in AB and RA and it works fine with me. even though i died alot i still was able to distract long enough for others to kill off attackers, you just have to communicate well with your team, Assassins are the ones that seem to be targeted first anyways.
