This is a variant of the Unfavored Build Build:A/P Critical Harpooner with major modifications. I took the idea and improved the skills and the attribute points distribution to balance the damage output and survivability of the build in battle.

[edit] Attributes and Skills

Assassin / Paragon	Attribute Rank
Spear Mastery	12
Shadow Arts	8 + 1
Critical Strikes	10 + 1 + 3

[edit] Equipment

The following are suggested equipments only and can be modified as needed.

Suggested Weapon
- Sundering Spear of Enchanting

Suggested Armor
- Command Shield of Devotion with +10 Armor vs. Piercing "Through Thick and Thin" Inscription
- Head: Radiant Shadow Mask of Superior Shadow Arts
- Body: Infiltrator Insignia + Superior Rune of Vigor
- Legs: Infiltrator Insignia + Minor Rune of Critical Strikes
- Hands: Infiltrator Insignia + Rune of Attunement
- Feet: Infiltrator Insignia + Rune of Attunement

[edit] Usage

The key to this build is to maintain Critical Defenses at all times, therefore it is not advisable to use Critical Eye and Way of the Assassin at the same time.

At the beginning of the battle, you only need to use Blazing Spear and Vicious Attack. Wearying Spear is only to be used as a finishing attack right after Vicious Attack for extensive amount of damage due to Deep Wound. But keep an eye on the condition indicator on your target's health bar, make sure your target receive the Deep Wound before using Wearying Spear.
