As i'm not much of a genius, and i dont have enough funds to buy all the skills, i'd like one of you to make an attempt in making a farming build for an Assassin, and post it here

.

And that's much it.

I can solo farm in Pongmei Valley using this build here, with one change: Take out Mending and insert Healing Breeze. The build works on pretty much any melee groups, as long as you dont take on too many at a time...3 to 5 works best for me.

Wella ctually assasin suck at farming, they don't have much energy or armour, and they don't really have any skill that si extremely usefull in farming, if playing assasin primary.

I farm ettins without a problem using a four string combo, crit eye, WoP, Shadow Refuge, and an optional slot i like to fill Dash in to make it go by quicker

Jagged Strike, Golden Lotus Strike, Wild Blow, Death Blossom, Crit Eye, WoP, SR, opt

This has worked for me, not a death yet, can kill all bog skales/fire imps in the way too. I tend to go through the tengu, run past em and cut through the ascalon settlement.

Death Blossom is great against ettins, since the second ettin your not fighting will use healing sig to give you time to focus on the one. I can take up to three effectively. Ive survived four. Keep WoP and Crit Eye up as long as possible

Dagger Mastery - 15 (shiros blades works well here to keep health up as well, although id rather have a better pair of vamp 5/1s, but dont have them yet)
Deadly Arts - 0
Shadow Ars - 9
Critical Strikes - 10

This is all without any sup runes, in fact, only a minor shadow and major dagger.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, im using all craptastic Valkries armor., with a +1 dagger mastery mask

Im a A/N, a A/W with evasion stances would rock here i think. I did this to see how well i could do in melee farming. Its quite quick and effective, might try it other places as well.

Not sure if ettin rune farming is really dead, but my first two runs i netted 4 sups, and gotten a few majors since then. Ettins are easy to run out of stock lol, drops arent that good after the first few runs, but then again, its not my fav farming spot.

3/1 vamp is max for daggers...you can only get 5/1 on hammers and bows.

Pongmei... eh? Could you please tell me 1 or 2 details? Like, how good are the drops? Not that i don't like your build, i just like to be sure i'm not wasting time:P.

The thing is, i don't want to be just ABLE to farm, i'd like to farm and make some profit of it, too

. If anyone has a farm build for assassins for mobs +20 lvl, please post it here, thanks.

Thanks, didn't know that. Ill correct myself then, Im only using shiros because its the ONLY good vamp daggers I have. My secondary are Sundering Oni Daggers of Fortitude (20/17) and +27, only damage +13 when enchanted. they are not as effective, just used for traveling and kiting(if it comes to that) BTW, forgot to mention above that tengu groups, even three, are death. At most ive been able to take out a wild and a brave. But fire imps and bog scales are a breeze.

I would love to hear some comments on this on which chain attacks you think would work better, so far that has been working for me fine without running out of energy. I havent played around much with other builds of chains since its finals week for me and these last two weeks of school are hell.
