The idea of this build is to completely disable and kill a caster. In particular, monks that are not being supported by other monks. This build is not intended for PvP areas where death penalty is accumulated unless very well covered by a monk. I find it works well in Aspenwood in particular.

[edit] Usage

Basically the same as the skills order.
First cast Iron Mist on your target.
Next, Shadow Walk to your target. Be careful, if you use it while casting you will interrupt your spell.
Once you are at your target, cast Shroud of Silence as soon as possible.
After this, complete the dagger combo string above in order.
Use Dash to return to your starting point.

[edit] Counters

Non-Spell based hex removal (Hex Breaker, Holy Veil, etc) General Anti-Melee

[edit] Variants

Shadow Walk and Dash can be replaced with a different teleport and either a res or an Earth based protection spell.

[edit] Notes

The recharge of this combo is 30 seconds so you want to take out high value targets. This is mainly casters, but it will also kill non-casters. The best use of this build is to take out Minion Masters and Monks. This takes careful planning and good timing to fully utilize. It is also extremely fragile, as such it is not suggested to be used if one is not experienced with Assassins or PvP in general.
