Default Assassin build to attack casters

Task: To interrupt and kill casters
Question: Does my build measure up to the task?
Build: [build=OwJkgRd8HNuTA0/dwaYJMcnv54A]
Build maneuvers: Death charge to a caster, interrupt, repeat use of moebius strike and death blossom or horns of ox. To survive keep casting troll unguent and storm chaser.

Additional information: I am playing on the kurzick side on FA and JQ and I just want to know if this build is up to what I am expecting out of it.

Looks ok, should do the job just fine.

I might put in Dark Escape and Shadow Refuge instead of Troll and Storm.

Don't use melee in JQ.


...oh wait, you're Kurzick. In that case, go ahead so the Luxons will win more ^_^


But really, melee is bad. You can't cap anything other than Ranger shrines because Lightning Hammer & Clumsiness owns you, you can't really attack Juggernauts/Turtles or you'll get owned by Carrier Defense... why use it? Go make a Ranger if you want to kill casters, [Concussion Shot] is ftw.


By the way KD-lock is pointless if you pause for 3 seconds to cast troll unguent.

Unless you use some sort of Assassin's Promise nuker you can't do much for shrines on your Assassin.

You might as well use a instagib build like Wastel's Collapse to kill key human key targets.

Any of the following builds would probably work better:

[build prof=A/Me insp=12 dead=12+1+2 crit=3][Deadly Paradox][Augury of Death][Dancing Daggers][Entangling Asp][Signet of Toxic Shock][Lyssa's Aura][Optional][Dash][/build]
- [[Iron Palm] for an extra Knockdown, which is especially useful when Augury of Death triggers. In situations where Dancing Daggers is interrupted or disabled, it can also be used to trigger Entangling Asp.
- [[Disrupting Dagger] is a useful interrupt to interrupt skills.
- [[Ether Feast] for a self-heal.
- [[Discharge Enchantment] for better enchantment removal, providing they are hexed.
- [[Drain Enchantment] for enchantment removal, energy management and a self-heal at the cost of a slower casting time.
- [[Power Drain] for an interrupt and extra energy management.
- [[Waste Not, Want Not] when they are KD'ed.

[build prof=Assassin/Warrior dagger=12+1+1 crit=12+1][Palm Strike][Frenzy][Trampling Ox][Falling Lotus][Horns of the Ox][Falling Spider][Twisting Fangs][Dash][/build]

[build prof=A/W DaggerMastery=12+1+1 CriticalStrikes=12+1][Wastrel's Collapse][Frenzy][Unsuspecting Strike][Fox Fangs][Horns of the Ox][Falling Lotus Strike][Twisting Fangs][Dash]

[build prof=assas/warr critical=12+1 dagger=12+1+1]["You're All Alone!"][Frenzy][Leaping Mantis Sting][Jungle Strike][Trampling Ox][Falling Spider][Twisting Fangs][Dash][/build]

Kill them before they kill you.

It's like RA. Anything works there. Just whether it works well or not.
