Deadly Arts	6 + 1

Leaping Mantis Sting

Exhausting Assault

Moebius Strike

Death Blossom

Impale

Flurry

Dash

Critical Defenses

• Drop Dash for Resurrection Signet if you want; however, the build performs optimally with the above bar.
• Also consider dropping Dash for Critical Strike if you're having energy problems.

[edit] Equipment

• Vampiric, Zealous and Ebon daggers, all 15^50 and of Fortitude.

[edit] Usage

• Pick a target to pressure. This build is an effective Linebacker, dealing ~60 armor-ignoring damage per second; you can pressure a Warrior just as well as a Monk.
• Use Leaping Mantis Sting -> Exhausting Assault -> Moebius <-> Death Blossom.
• When your target gets below 50% HP, use Impale.

[edit] Counters

• Standard Melee counters.
• Diversion/interrupt of Leaping Mantis or Moebius, leaving you unable to start (or continue) the attack chain.

[edit] Notes

This build is not intended for solo play (be it PvE or RA/TA/AB). You must have monks in your party to stay alive.
