Way of the Empty Palm

Deadly Paradox

Feigned Neutrality

Mending Touch

For PvE, Deadly Paradox should be switched out for a resurrection skill.

[edit] Equipment

Radiant Insignias for chest and leg armor, and Nightstalker's Insignias for the rest.
Vampiric Daggers of Enchanting with the 15% increased damage while enchanted modification.

[edit] Usage

Begin by casting Way of the Empty Palm.
Find a target and hex them with Siphon Speed.
Follow up with Black Spider Strike.
Continually spam Repeating Strike.
When Black Spider Strike recharges, finish off with Twisting Fangs.
Use Deadly Paradox then Feigned Neutrality for self-healing.
Mending Touch is useful for removing pesky conditions such as Blindness.

[edit] Counters

Enchantment removal will deny this build of its energy-saving ability.
Standard melee counters such as blocking and evasion.
Standard attacker counters such as Empathy or Spiteful Spirit.

[edit] Variants

If the risk of death is relatively low, it is acceptable to switch out Deadly Paradox and Feigned Neutrality for Shadow of Haste and Shadow Refuge to provide a more constant movement speed increase
