This somewhat obvious build is a viable replacement for the once-prominent BoA Assassin. Flurry reduces only the base damage from dagger attacks, while leaving the bonus damage untouched. Flurry also has the added benefit of being able to be maintained constantly.

[edit] Usage

[edit] Counters

  • Standard Melee counters.
  • Restore Condition will basically ruin a spike of this build, it'll remove all of the conditions you have put on the target and heal most of the damage dealt.
  • Hex Breaker will cause problems, as your initial 'Hex Jump' will be disabled, leaving your combo in shambles unless you can cast both hexes in quick succession.
  • A well-used Contemplation of Purity.

[edit] Variants

  • Horns of the Ox is a common variant that sacrifices damage for a knockdown, and can therefore replace Blades of Steel.
  • Another Shadow Step or an additional healing/defensive skill (such as Feigned Neutrality) can replace the Resurrection Signet for Alliance Battles or Competitive missions.
  • Siphon Speed can replace Expose Defenses as a backup hex to trigger the attack chain, and to quickly escape.
  • Impale can be used in conjunction with different dual attacks (Horns of the Ox in Particular).
  • Death Blossom can replace Blades of Steel.
  • Assassin's Promise and Dark Prison can be used as a more PvE or AB/CM oriented version.
