This build uses the two skills Deadly Paradox and Deadly Haste to
increase the speed of dagger throwing skills to an insane speed,
and applies huge pressure on a single target.
[edit] Attributes and Skills
[edit] Equipment
- Full Radiant Armor (Or Valkyrie Armor if you do not want to
spend money on a whole new set of armor)
- Deadly mask
- Two runes of Attunement
- Superior Vigor rune (Or Major/Minor if you can't afford
Superior)
- An Axe, or Sword of Enchanting with "I have the power"
inscription.
- A caster offhand, one that provides energy, of Swiftness with
"Serenity now" insription.
- An Inscribable Staff made from certain Nightfall weaponsmiths
that Halves recharge time of spells (20%)and make sure it has 10+
energy, and an inscription slot, and put in a max Insightful Staff
Head, and a max Energy Inscription.
Usage is simple but if done badly you will encounter energy
problems.
- First cast Deadly Haste, Channeling, and Deadly paradox just
before you enter battle.
- Then run within range of as many enemies as possible to gain
the benefits of channeling.
- Begin to spam the dagger skills to apply pressure to the
target.
- When the target's health falls to a low value, apply Assassin's
Promise before continuing to attack.
- Once the target is dead, Assassin's Promise will trigger,
giving you the energy boost necessary to continue to another
target.
- WARNING: If you are not careful about keeping channeling up,
staying in range of enemies and placing Assassin's Promise you will
run out of energy and be unable to deal damage.
[edit] Counters
- Anti-caster spells such as Backfire
- Anti-spamming skills such as Diversion
- Energy denial
- This build has no self-healing and so must have monk support
before engaging.
[edit] Variants
- Replace superior runes with major or minor ones to increase
survivability.
- Replace radiant insignias with survivor ones to ,again,
increase survivability.
- Take out Channeling (because since you are attacking at a
range, you won't benefit much) and put in Arcane Echo to spam more
daggers.
- Replace Resurrection Signet with a healing skill when you don't
need the signet.
This build has a high damage output but can be very difficult to
use. If played incorrectly you will deal little damage and be a
huge drain on the energy supplies of your monks.
