[edit] Usage

This build is used to deal many double attacks quickly while fuelling yourself with health from Way of Perfection and the vampiric daggers and energy from critical attacks.

While not in combat have the non-vampiric daggers equiped,before entering combat cast Critical Eye,Way of Perfection and locusts fury on yourself then switch to your vampiric daggers as you move towards your target when you start attacking use hekets rampage once your energy is above 10 cast shadowy burden on your foe.

When you are running low on health and way of perfection is'nt giving enough health to replace what you are losing use shadow of distress then shadow refuge.

It works quite well In GvG for ganking and can be used to take out single targets quickly due to Shadowy Burden making them lose 20 armour(So you'll be doing 50% more damage) and they'll be slown down stopping them from running away.

[edit] Counters

The main counters to this build are:Insidious Parasite,Spiteful Spirit and Empathy all of these will take you down fast because your doing a lot more attacks then normal. Blind will stop your damage output as well.

Another counter which is not as bad as the ones above but is still a threat is knockdowns since you are cant attack you won't be healed and you won't have the armour boost from the nightstalker armour.
