You might call even call him Virulent.

(Note, these atribute settings are my prefrence, i realize that most would have me run 13 crit but i just don't because i'm odd.)

A/N

12+1+3 Dagger Mastery
11+1 Critical Strikes
6+1 Shadow Arts
5 Death Magic

Death's Charge (Return in PvE)
Shadow Refuge
Leaping Mantis Sting
Jungle Strike
Twisting Fangs
Virulence
Plague Touch (Dark Escape in PvE)
Rez Sig (Dark Escape in AB)

This is a build i have been running for awhile, which i find to be fairly good. Well, at least i enjoy it. Anyhow, i'm posting it to get critiques on its effectiveness and/or how much it blows.

What It Gives You:
-A decent amount of damage
-Bleeding and Deep Wound on the enemy
-Poison and Disease on the enemy
-A total of 9 degen on the target after damage. (For seven seconds.)
-A snare (vitial imo)
-Plague Touch, for all those nasty conditions like blind and whatnot that people throw on you.

What it may be lacking
-Survivability: Shadow refuge has a measly 7 regen and a small heal providing i'm attacking (which i'm usually not if i'm using refuge,) Death's Charge doesn't reall qualify as a heal at all and lastly, unless playing in AB or pve, it lacks a means to run the hell away from opponents, which sometimes proves troublesome.
-Falls Victim to normal melee counters, stances and whatnot, though it does have some defense against being blinded.

In defense of the survivability issue, i regard killing the target as the best form of protection.

Thoughts?

Virulence causes Weakness as well.

If someone throws up a defense against you, Virulence becomes useless, Twisted Fangs can't even be used (which is the only why you can inflict a condition)

.

Way of the Fox instead of Death's Charge

And then you should be fine.

Preferably, I would have chosen:

Expose Defenses
Black Mantus Thrust
Jungle Strike
Twisted Fangs
Virulence (e)
Shadow Refuge
Signet of Malice
Recall
Rez Signet

For PvE. But to do so, you would need some points into Deadly Arts.
