[edit] Build: A/E Ultimate Overload Assassin (UOA)

This build is very good for quickly taking out annoying monks or minion masters. You will die quite quickly if you can't time well but if you can (time well) it will be hard for you to die. You will have no healing spells or res sigs but you can shadow step to get out quickly and let auto healing get you to full health. It is based on setting people on fire as well as poisoning them.

[edit] Attributes and Skills

Assassin / Elementalist	Attribute Rank
Dagger Mastery	12 + 1 + 2 or 3
Critical Strikes	11 + 3
Fire Magic	6

Glyph of Lesser Energy

Mark of Rodgort

Aura of Displacement

Black Spider Strike

Twisting Fangs

Jagged Strike

Wild Strike

Death Blossom

[edit] Equipment

• Armour is simple. All you need is enough Runes of Attunement and Radient Insignias to have 30 energy. I used other insignias and runes to boost my health and armor.
• The Weapons are very important for the completion of the UOA. It used for Mark of Rodgort and setting your enemies on fire. They are fiery daggers of __________. The Grip is optional. I used the "Guided by Fate" inscription.

[edit] Usage

• Mark of Rodgort is one of the main skills in this build. The order of skills that you use on your targeted enemy are: Glyph of Lesser Energy, Mark of Rodgort, Aura of Displacement, Black Spider Strike and Twisting Fangs. Then use Jagged Strike followed by Wild Strike and, lastly, Death Blossom. After that you shadow step out again.
• Wait for your health to get above 50% before you attack again. Alternatively you could go on attacking and setting them on fire until you are on really low health or you die.
• It is quite important that you do maintain the Aura of Displacement because with the armour and weapons I used, the enchantment is important.(At least you know when it ends).

[edit] Counters

• Your hex being removed.
• Your enchantment being removed.
• Your losing your speed.
• Warrior skills such as Gladiator's Defense, and both Ripostes.
• Other blocking skills.

[edit] Variants

• You could really change any skill apart from Mark of Rodgort.
• Instead of using the last dagger chain you could use any high damage or conditioning chain. Really any chain will do.
• If you don't have Aura of Displacement you could use Recall.
• If you do have a three skill chain at the end, I would use dash to sprint away from a long range Ele or Ranger.
