[edit] Equipment

• Vamparic daggers of Fortitude 15^50
• Zealous daggers of Fortitude 15^50

[edit] Usage

• Choose your victim, preferably a soft target that hasn't noticed you, however this build has its bonus's against any profession.
• Cast Mark of Instability on the target, then hit them with Black Lotus Strike and Twisting Fangs.
• Use Virulence followed by Signet of Toxic Shock for heavy degen and damage.
• Use Consume Corpse for energy management and corpse denial.
• Use Signet of Malice for condition removal.

[edit] Counters

Usual anti-melee counters (Blind, Empathy, etc) Heavy anti-condition, which isn't too prevalent in AB battles

[edit] Variants

• Consume Corpse or Signet of Malice can be replaced by Feigned Neutrality for a more reliable heal.

[edit] Notes

This was a spur of the moment idea, i havent been testing it long, but it seems to work nicely, lack of outright self healing can be a problem, but it is meant for quick pressure runs, get in > Degen target > get out...This is my first build written for Wiki, and i would appreciate a warm welcome and some help in testing the build ^_^ And a little help in cleaning the page up would be more than appreciated :D
