[edit] A/any Flashing Defender

This build uses the Elite stance Flashing Blades and Critical Defenses to keep up a fast hitting loop combo without taking much damage. This is best in the PvE against monster warriors, as spell-casters can easily get through this in PvP.

[edit] Attributes and Skills

Assassin / Any	Attribute Rank
Critical Strikes	12 + 1
Dagger Mastery	12 + 3

Jagged Strike

Wild Strike

Critical Strike

Critical Eye

Flashing Blades

Critical Defenses

Shadow Refuge

Resurrection Signet

[edit] Equipment

Any daggers that increase enchantments time would be good, Max Critical Strikes with a minor rune or major runes with minor to get it to 13. Max Dagger Mastery with runes to make it 15.

[edit] Usage

• Start off with Critical Eye

• Use Critical Defenses and Flashing Blades, this will set you at low energy, however hitting the enemy should bring your energy back up soon.

• Loop the combo Jagged Strike, Wild Strike, and Critical Strike. Which each cost low energy and have a quick recharge time, Jagged Strike also causes bleeding, which is a bonus. Critical Strike will refresh Critical Defenses. At 15 Dagger Mastery, Flashing Blades will be recharged as soon as it runs out, allowing constant use.

• If Critical Eye runs out, use it again to keep up critical hits.

• If Critical Defenses runs out, rely on Flashing Blades for defense and Shadow Refuge for healing.

• Use Shadow Refuge if you do get hit.

[edit] Weaknesses

• Health Degun (although it could be countered by Shadow Refuge)

• Unblockable moves and spells.

• Being Blinded will cause all your attacks to miss, which will cause Critical Defenses to wear off quickly, and make Critical Eye useless.

[edit] Variants

Resurrection Signet could be replaced with a Resurrecting spell with secondary monk. And Shadow Refuge could be replaced with Healing Breeze for more health regen.
