[edit] Equipment

• Sundering, vampiric or zealous daggers of Enchanting. The Daggers of Xuekao (unique) are ideal.

[edit] Usage

• Cast Arcane Echo then Siphon Speed on the target.
• Use Way of the Empty Palm and close in on your target.
• Use the Black Lotus Strike → Death Blossom combo.
• Follow with Golden Phoenix Strike and Critical Strike.
• Use the copy of Siphon Speed to escape if more than one foe is attacking you.

[edit] Notes

[edit] Counters

• As this build deals spike damage, Protection Prayers skills such as Reversal of Fortune and Guardian will greatly reduce its effectiveness by countering the damage and disrupting the skill chain.
• This build has no self-heal, condition or hex removal skills and relies on the copy of Siphon Speed.
• Blind and Weakness will prevent the combos from working.

[edit] Variants

• Add Hex Eater Signet for some chance of hex removal and energy management
• Replace Block Lotus Strike with a cheaper Off-Hand skill if energy management is not needed.
