The play is fairly straight forward, the mesmer drops fragility then impale on a target to set it up. The assassin then unleashed black mantis thrust, temple strike, and twisting fangs. As this is going on the mesmer should put assassin's promise on the target and can assist the spike with either dancing dangers followed by entangling asp (knockdown) or signet of shadows (damage.) Use conjur to further degen targets and cover vital hexes.

The E/N is simply a flash bot who spams blinding flash on warriors and occassionally assists spikes with orb and/or enervating. Should the assassin get disables the E/N and Me/A should be able to still drop targets, just not as quickly. Rigor mortis should only be used if called for. It is mainly to guarantee a kill vs the player carrying weapon of warding (to remove that factor.) Every other method of blocks and evades should be easily countered (wards are a possibility but are very rare in TA.)

The assassin will really need zealous daggers to perform well.

The Boon Prot is a flexible slot, really any sort of strong 4v4 monk works. I suggest boon prots for their resillency.
