EDIT: Merge with Berserking Shadow?

Similar to the Build:A/W Berserking Shadow this build uses deadly dagger attacks coupled with degenerative conditions along with Assassin's Promise to swiftly kill your target and be able to move on to the next target without delay. It is capable of taking out most targets by itself, but heavily armored or healed targets are best killed with team spikes just to be safe.

If nothing else, it's FUN! And it can wipe out mobs quick and painlessly. :)

Assassin's Promise

Dark Prison

[edit] Equipment

• A Full set of +Energy Armor
• Zealous and Vampiric Daggers of Fortitude, along with +5 Energy Daggers

[edit] Usage

• Select your target and activate Assassin's Promise
• Immediately follow with Dark Prison followed by Burst of Aggression
• Use your attack chain: Black Lotus Strike, Twisting Fangs, Black Spider Strike, Blades of Steel.
• Your target should be dead or near death, finish him off and move to your next target.
• Use Feigned Neutrality as a self heal.
• A good tactic to use is to cast Feigned Neutrality before the enemy dies, and let the conditions kill him off so Feigned recharges.

[edit] Counters

• Standard melee counters: Blind,Empathy,Price of Failure etc...
• Failing to kill your target or having Assassin's Promise interrupted results in a very long downtime.
• Hex Breaker.
• A well used Contemplation of Purity.

[edit] Variants

• Death's Charge instead of Dark Prison.
• Shadow Refuge instead of Feigned Neutrality.
• Horns of the Ox instead of Blades of Steel.
• Dark Escape instead of Dark Prison or Burst of Aggression.

[edit] Notes

• Choose targets wisely. Low AL targets such as casters and other assassins should be killed first, while tanks and protection monks should be killed last by team spiking.
• If you fail to kill a target during Assassin's Promise, seek out other hex using players to remain effective.
• This is by NO MEANS a solo assassin build.
