[build=OwJj0xf24SdPHM7PNMDQ1grGrgA]
This is my build called shadow blossom, its really good for opponents that cause diseases and such however, elementalist opponents and massive tankers are killing me. I need some advice.

I know this is a great build, don't take it! I am usually farming solo, but mobsters are killing me.

P.S. Is there a good guide for assassin farmers I tried searching for it and found nothing. Please point me to the right direction.

There's a better version of "your" build.

[Shadow Form]

Just wanted to point out that your armor bonuses from [[Critical Agility] and [[Shadow Sanctuary] won't stack. It will stay the highest number, +40.

[armor of earth][stoneflesh aura][shadow form][glyph of swiftness][deadly paradox][ward against elements][ward against foes][dancing daggers]

Better variants of "your" build are run on three quarters of all the assassins in the game. For PvE your setup is pretty crappy actually. Golden Phoenix Strike is not so great. You have no lead attack, so you must start every attack with it, and it has an eight second recharge. Better to use Jagged strike or Golden Fox strike. Wild Strike or Golden Fang Strike make for nice offhands. Then use D.B. and M.S. As for the antidote signet, why waste a spot for it when you can run Assassin's Remedy instead. Also, ditch shadow sanctuary for something better, like Critical Eye or Way of Perfection.

So you are saying that the death blossom farmer build is bad for soloing?

btw, I don't have an assa, guess /monk and vigorous spirit or something like that.

Junato · Mar 05, 2009, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I am thinking about removing critical agility with Critical eye

lol @ this thread

If you have a good monk, the last 2 skills aren't needed. The wiki build would be better at surviving.

Keep critical ability, that is the only must have PvE skill for assassin.

wow..not talking would have been better. phoenix is all thats needed because once you get the chain started you just keep using db/mobius one after the other, and hey recharge on it doesnt matter because once below 50% mobius will recharge it like omg!..

AntmanA · Mar 06, 2009, 06:19 AM // 06:19

Junato, I do have some advise for you...

Take out the last 2 skills and spec 8 into healing prayers.... then take [live vicariously][vigorous spirit] These will keep you alive by giig you about 40hp per attack, 80 if you double strike... It'll heal you through conditions as well... Also, it's really easy to use, just maintain [live vicariously] and cast [vigorous spirit] on recharge...

hope this helps...

Junato · Mar 06, 2009, 01:02 PM // 13:02

Thanks antman for at least answering my thread through good criticism

For farming only bosses I might agree with you. However, plenty of stuff in PvE will be dead before you get to M.S., leaving you standing there with no available skills to use waiting for your only staring attack in the chain to recharge, and possibly letting your enchants possibly go down. Oh yeah, and what if the target has *gasp* a blocking stance!? Following what you suggest you'd be SoL. Try not to sound so superior unless you can bring your A game to the table.

I don't mean to be a douche but your OH SO ORIGINAL build isn't very original at all. In fact, it's not even the best of its kind. OP you think way too highly of yourself...
Why would you need critical strike, CA alone should be able to keep it up. And if you're trying to farm eles, run Shadowform...I don't see another way.

1) you should have [shadow refuge] not [shadow sanctuary] they just buffed [shadow refuge] it is even better. Also as previously stated the armor bonus doesn't stack.

2) Your build isn't terrible but it's not very good either don't be so cocky you are asking for help after all. I wouldn't need to steal it I can think of more creative builds. I know how to play my assassin.

3) The best guide for assassin farming is going out and experiencing what bosses have to offer then coming up with a build for that situation. You shouldn't rely on one build for every boss.

There is my advice.

Didn't mean to imply its original...

FreeFalling thanks for your advice and no need to think so bitter.

If I were being bitter you would know.

It just seemed as if you were being very cocky about your build so I made the remark. But yes the best guides are the ones you make. Same goes for builds. You will know how to use them more effectively then you would just going to wiki and taking a build off of the website.

PS: Wiki is bleh!

If u want better survivability run Crit barrage ...and stay away from enemies ..

Otherwise ..[Critical] agility [critical defenses] and [feigned neutrality] should be able to keep u alive if u have decent monks ...
