The Promised Execution build uses Assassin's Promise with Parasitic Bond to gain energy and health once a foe dies. It also attempts to make effective use of Chilblains, to remove Shadow Form from assassins.

[edit] Equipment

• + energy armor
• Vampiric Daggers 15% against hexed foes +30HP
• Any weapon for weapon switch while not attacking

[edit] Usage

• Search for priority target, primarily low armor ones that can be taken out quickly
• Use parasitic bond to start skill chain. If it is stripped, it isn't a problem as it is only 2 second recharge and you get healed if it is stripped.
• Use Black Lotus Strike then Exhausting Assault when the caster uses a spell.

Black Lotus Strike pays for both itself and Exhausting Assault (in terms of energy).

• Chilblains is used to get rid of enchantments like Spellbreaker, Shadow Form, Obsidian Flesh, Sliver Armor, Armor of Earth, Armor of Mist, Guardian, Shield of Regeneration.

8 Curses is use for the 2 enchantments removed break point.

• Plague touch is used to rid yourself of conditions, mainly the poison condition from Chilblains and blinding.
• Assassin's Promise should be casted on a target near death, then covered with Parasitic bond to prevent (or avoid) removal.
• Return should be used when you are in danger, especially since you have no instantaneous self healing.
• Resurrection Signet is used as a form of resurrection for party members.

[edit] Counters

• Slowdown hexes like Crippling Anguish
• Degen
• Spike damage

[edit] Variants

• Plague Sending instead of Plague Touch to give the poison condition to a broader group of enemies.
