Curse

I am looking for a build for assassin primary that would allow me to farm something I could sell for money or just plain gold(I am broke). It doesn't need to be uber and farm as fast and as many at once as 55 HP builds, just a some build that gets decent amount of GP per hour played.

This build allows me to solo many places. Obviously, its not as fast or efficient as a warrior, monk, or ritualist, but it gets the job done. From left to right, my skillbar is as follows:

Disrupting Stab (swap this for whatever you want)
Golden Phoenix Strike
Death Blossom
Golden Lotus Strike
Healing Breeze (Vigorous Spirit works too)
Healing Hands {E} - requires prophecies
Live Vicariously - requires prophecies
Balthazars Spirit - requires prophecies

For attributes, I do the following:

max healing
almost max dagger mastery (I go to 11 + superior rune + helm)
remaining points go into critical strikes

I also suggest a dagger upgrade that makes your enchantments last longer...I use a 20%

I've posted variations of this build in a couple of spots around guildwarsguru, usually getting a lot of crap about it because it provides a way for an assassin to be a tank. Most people dont think assassins should tank, but quite frankly, I dont care what other people think.

The build works great in my opinion, allowing me to solo many places. Energy management is not a concern, because you will always be the focus of the enemy attacks if you play solo. Balthazars Spirit will keep your energy full.

Some places i like to use this build:

Wajjun Bazaar
Pongmei Valley
Arborstone
The Yeti outside of Aspenwood (Luxon side - cant remember the area name)
Works well in many popular Prophecies farming locations too

Might take you a bit of practice to get all the timing right, but it works...I use this build on my own assassin.

Enjoy
