This PvE build is built around the Assassin's primary attribute, Critical Strikes. Using Critical Eye and Way of the Assassin almost every one of your attacks should be a critical strike resulting in +4 energy with each attack. With critical strikes almost every attack you should be able to maintain Critical Defenses almost indefinitely allowing a high rate of blocking.
