[edit] Equipment

• Nightstalker's Armor works well.
• Daggers of Xuekao was used to test this build.

[edit] Usage

• Before battle, cast Way of Perfection.
• Approach and cast Siphon Speed on the desired target.
• Follow up by activating Way of the Assassin and using Black Spider Strike followed by Twisting Fangs.
• Keep attacking the target, renewing Siphon Speed, Way of the Assassin and Way of Perfection as required.
• When blinded, immediately cast Sight Beyond Sight.
• When under focused fire, immediately cast Feigned Neutrality.

[edit] Counters

• Evasion and Blocking.
• Enchantment Removal.
• Effective healing. Although regular DPS is decent, serious spike damage is limited the two attack skills.

[edit] Variants

• Assassin's Remedy has a shorter recharge than Way of Perfection, and can be used instead to help remove conditions. Note that this will not help against blindness.
• Sharpen Daggers also has a shorter recharge than Way of Perfection, and helps to apply pressure when conditions are being constantly removed.
