The Assassin Tank Killer

A friend of mine and I were thinking of ways to “kill” tanks regardless of their build.
It presented a problem until I came up with this build.
This will also take out riposte builds 

This was meant mainly for AB battles as res skills are not used widely there. It is very adaptable and a res can be used in place of Twisting Fangs or Death Blossom.





1. Signet of Midnight Elite Skill
You and target touched foe become Blinded for 15 seconds.
2. Signet of Malice
Signet. For each Condition suffered by target foe, you lose one Condition.
3. Jagged Strike
Lead Attack. If Jagged Strike hits, your target suffers from Bleeding for 3-8 seconds.
4. Wild Strike
Off-Hand Attack. Must follow a lead attack. If it hits, this attack strikes for +8-18 damage and target foe losses all Stances.
5. Twisting Fangs
Dual Attack. Must follow an off-hand attack. If it hits, Twisting Fangs strikes for +10-18 damage and struck foe suffers from Bleeding and Deep Wound for 5-17 seconds.
6. Death Blossom
Dual Attack. Must follow an off-hand attack. If it hits, Death Blossom strikes target foe for +15-35 damage and all adjacent foes take 15-35 damage.
7. Unseen Fury
Stance. For 15-51 seconds, you cannot be "blocked" or "evaded" by Blinded foes.
8. Shadow Refuge
Enchantment Spell. For 4 seconds, you have gain 5-9 Health regeneration. When Shadow Refuge ends, you gain 20-68 Health if you are attacking.


Usage.

Target the opposing foe.
Cast Unseen Fury, your now in stance.
Just before engaging cast Shadow refuge in case the foe gets off one hit.

Now the fun part. The essence of this build.
Use the Signet of Midnight, both you and the foe are now blinded.
Follow with Signet of Malice, you are now blind free.

Since your foe is blinded your Unseen Fury kicks in and now he can’t evade your blows. ( Think Glads Defense  )

Use your attack skills and repeat. The second time around you will need to use Death Blossom as Twisting Fangs doesn’t regenerate fast enough.

The reason for bleeding twice in the build is for a cover condition immediately so that the blind is at least buried once to remove.
The skills regenerate fast enough that they can “almost” be kept up indefinitely as the Signet cost zero energy.

One on one this build owns wars, rangers and assassins. Casters you just take out normally :P

There are lots of alternatives for this build use it and have fun smacking the “tanks” !!

ahh, nice, way to put signets to work for your sin, that's neat.

This is what Assasin is all about....  chiellus on 09/08/06 18:02

Now begone with the "Assasins suck".... Players do.
This is imho what the assasin is all about. Kill anything fast and easy, one at a time...

Your problem, of course, will be when other get hold of you and start pounding away... But for a 1-on-1 encounter, this looks very promising.

Regards,
Michiel

nice job.
ive never played as an assassin, but ive heard from everyone they suck.

I was very reluctant to believe that because i also heard from a lot of peolpe that masmers suck too.

Its common sense really i mean. You are an assassin. You ASSASSINATE people. You don't tank, or basically have anything to do with big grps. Get in , kill, get out.

Very nicely done. Although, if you have any conditions on you other then blind, be careful

I love this build!
But, didn't ya inda copy it off wiki..?
W/e, its been on my builds to-do list for sometime

  Botchu on 09/09/06 08:31
 
Yeah lol I had this idea I even saw the same thing in RA a while ago (was that you?) :P

zach don't be so quick to mention the "copy" word. A lot of builds ahve been done, i'm looking at Wiki now and have yet to find this build, he/she even used a newer charcter. I know you didn't say he did copy, but it's getting really hard to post builds on here, with so many people and so few skills, a lot of builds will look the same, but one skill can make a big difference. I like the build, we need to get sins out of the "sucky don't invite to party" so i can use mine to Pve.

This was my own build, I came up with it bt my lonesome.
After reading The Zach Attack's comment I went looking for a similar build.

The poster has called the Blackout Assassin

Here

I believe mine is a better build however.. Less energy issues and a self heal.

  ElementaMaster on 09/11/06 17:52

i have two words, purge conditions
(as a side note i have an assassin and he pwns like crazy)

  Bower on 09/14/06 06:55
 
Ahh, yer assasins own! :D I got mine pwning boon-prots in RA ^^ AoD FTW

  Mother Nature on 10/25/06 10:11

Umm no offense, but this is basicaly a copy of the guide i wrote up, it uses the same way to take down tanks etc.

  Nihzu on 11/02/06 06:21

Nice, though besides what ElementaMaster said:
Careful with any character having a Ranger or Necro affinity... Antidote Signet for the former, Plague Touch for the latter. Both are "attributeless". Plague Touch is even meaner since it's pretty much instant, no recast, and backfires your condition.
