This assassin uses the combination of the Critical Strikes skills Way of the Assassin, Critical Eye, & Sharpen Daggers (which combined with the 12 weapon mastery gives you a 77% chance to critical hit on EVERY shot) along with Disrupting Accuracy to keep an enemy or enemies interrupted almost consistently without spamming of high-energy disrupting skills and also keeping bleeding on foes with considerable damage.

[edit] Attributes and skills

Assassin / Ranger	Attribute Rank
Marksmanship	12
Critical Strikes	12 + 1 + 3

Distracting Shot can be replaced with Savage Shot.

[edit] Equipment

Energy set or Nightstalker's.
Shortbow or Recurve Bow.

[edit] Usage

The usage of this build is fairly simple. First, you lay down a Favorable Winds spirit somehwere out of harm's way but still in range. Then, use Way of the Assassin and Critical Eye (this will be most of your energy management. Throw on Sharpen Daggers (to trigger WotA) and Disrupting Accuracy and start spamming away with bow attacks. Use Keen Arrow as much as energy allows and then once your target gets below 50% HP, start spamming Needling Shot to disrupt them faster and in conjunction with FW, they should go down fairly quickly.

[edit] Counters

Normal ranger counters (blind, Empathy, SS, etc.)

[edit] Variants

Sharpen Daggers can be replaced with Critical Defenses.
The optional slot can be filled with Assassin's Remedy for an effective condition removal (except for blind) or Way of Perfection (if you decide to put about 8 ranks into Shadow Arts).

[edit] Notes

This build has very limited self-support. It is advisable (if taking this build into a PvP situation such as Random Arenas) to swap out Favorable Winds for another self-support skill or cover enchantment.
It is very reliant on a strong secondary healer.
