The Cyclone Daggers build uses blocking to avoid damage and uses Palm Strike to get straight to Death Blossom , which does area damage like cyclone axe.

Critical Defenses

Palm Strike

Death Blossom

Nine Tail Strike

Serpent's Quickness

Troll Unguent

Recall

Resurrection Signet

[edit] Equipment

• Armor of your choice
• Vampiric daggers 15^50 of Fortitude/Defense

[edit] Usage

• Recall is used on ally before you start your chain and are about to go in.
• Serpent's Quickness is to be used right before your skill chain starts to help with Palm Strike's recharge time of 10 seconds and Death Blossom's 12 second recharge.
• Hit target with Palm Strike then Death Blossom.

Palm Strike hits even when blinded/hexed as it is a touch skill. Do beware of Diversion though.

• Nine Tail Strike is reserved for when you know the target evades or blocks attacks.

This is affected by blind and hexes

• Use Critical Defenses when it is possible to block damage that may hit you.

This does not make you invincible. Remove Recall when you are truly in danger.

• Troll Unguent is used when recovering in the safety of casters. Do NOT use this when attacking, you will likely be interrupted due to 3 second activation time.

[edit] Counters

• enchantment removal
• interrupts
• hexes
• blind/weakness
• Signet of humility

[edit] Variants

• Exhausting Assault instead of Nine Tail Strike would fare better versus casters that aren't clumped.
• Antidote Signet instead of Serpent's Quickness if speed is not so much a concern, if blind spam is common in the area.

[edit] Notes

• 13 critical strikes for 3 energy breakpoint
• 12 dagger mastery for full weapon damage
• 10 wilderness for +8 health regeneration breakpoint
