This build is not favored by the
GuildWiki community.
The general consensus among users of GuildWiki is that this build is not viable. |
|
This build uses Assassin Critical Strikes skills and Tiger's Fury to increase the amount of critical hits which in turn heals and refreshes Critical Defenses. It's primary use is in PvP as Death Penalty seriously restricts the builds viability.

Antidote Signet can be switched out with an Elite skill, as it doesn't really serve a purpose in this build. Siphon Strength is good for quick critical hits when combined with Tigers Fury.

[edit] Equipment
- Nightstalker's Armor
- Daggers with enchanting (such as Daggers of Xuekao) and zealous daggers (such as Kenshi's Butterfly Daggers)
- Major or Superior Rune of Vigor
[edit] Usage
This build can have a prolonged stay on the front line with all skills/enchantments up due to high AL.
- Using the daggers with enchanting start by casting Critical Eye and Way of Perfection,
- As soon as you're attacking use Critical Defenses,
- Follow up with the three combo attack skills / Tiger's Fury,
- Rinse and repeat topping up enchantments as and when required,
- If you find yourself low on energy mid-fight swap to the zealous daggers.
At the attribute levels above each critical hit heals for 25 and refreshes critical defenses (75% chance of blocking attacks).
The daggers with enchanting mean you'll have roughly 1 second between Way of Perfection running out and the skill recharging.
Signet of Antidote is to primarily clear blindness & poison.
[edit] Counters
- Enchantment stripping
- Evade/Block skills
[edit] Variations
Golden Lotus Strike gives you +8 energy and can allow you to cast Tiger's Fury mid combo but the lead and off-hand attacks are interchangeable, low costing skills are better for energy management.
Possible variations include:
- Use Palm Strike followed by Critical Strike which would free up a skill slot for something like Caltrops as this build lacks speed or shadow stepping.
- For PvE you could swap out Critical Defenses or Antidote for a Res Signet.
[edit] Notes
Be careful when using Tiger's Fury, non-attack skills are disabled for 5 seconds and the enchantments might run out before you can recast them.
