Seeping Wound

Black Lotus Strike

Golden Phoenix Strike

[edit] Equipment

Armor: Shrouded or Valkerie's is the most useful for health or energy bonuses.
Weapons: Lunto's Pincers to prolong Poison, or Barbed or Poisonous Daggers.

[edit] Usage

Before combat, cast Sharpen Daggers and Apply Poison on yourself. Select your target, and attack them, using Storm Chaser if necessary. Chain Black Lotus Strike, Golden Phoenix Strike, and Horns of the Ox. By this time, they should have poison and possibly bleeding on them. Cast Seeping Wound if this is the case. If the target has poison, bleeding, and Seeping Wound, they will have 10 degen pips. Keep attacking and casting Seeping Wound to prolong the duration. Recast Seeping Wound, Sharpen Daggers, and Apply Poison as soon they recharge, unless doing so would kill you. When in danger, use Storm Chaser to get out, and use Troll Unguent. If you are low on energy use Golden Lotus Strike (with Sharpen Daggers on) or Storm Chaser (while under elemental attack).

[edit] Counters

Monks are the bane of this build. If one is around, they can easily neutralize this build with regen buffs as well as hex/condition removal. Also certain targets, mainly warriors will have large amounts of health, and deal large amounts of damage. Take care, as the build be less effective against them, and don't be afraid to run if in major trouble
