^^^^You mean Twisting Fangs instead of Fox Fangs. If you don't remember your skills, you're a bad sin.

A/W Condition spiker
PvP
Attributes
Deadly arts 16 (12+3+1)
Dagger mastery 10 (9+1)
Critical strikes 10 (9+1)
Shadow arts 4 (3+1)

Gear: Its important that you have radiant's. Weapon: Use what you like

Skills
1)Death's Charge 2)Tiger's Stance 3)Black Mantis Thurst 4)Black Spider Strike
5)Twisting Fangs 6)Signet of deadly corruption 7)Assassin's Promise(elite)
8)Feigned neutrality(or res sig in some places)

So this is how the build works: Before attacking cast Assassin's Promise to
target, active tiger's stance then use immediatly death's charge to get close.
Now the combo: Black mantis thrust -> Black spider strike -> Twisting fangs -> finish combo with signet off deadly corruption. Usually your target is dead in this point and you can go on to the next

Weakness of this build is that it's all based on assassin's promise, and it lose SO much power if it's removed.And then you have to wait for it to recharge (60sec) and that happends often if you pick wrong targets.

Profession: A/x

Name: Critical Healer

Type: Great for PvE, good for PvP

Category: spiker

Attributes" Dagger 11+1, Shadow 10+1, Critical 10+3 ... I also have a Major vigor rune and major attunement...

Weaponry: Ive got Cruel Elonian Daggers of enchanting, 7-17 enchantments last 20% longer, Dmg 15%^50, lengthens deep wound by 20%, and dmg +20%

Skills Set Critical eye, Way of perfection, Critical defenses, Unsuspecting strike, Fox fangs, Twisting fangs, Shadows Refuge, Deaths charge...

Summary: just before engaging use Crit eye, WoP, and critical defenses, that should leave you about 7 mana, as it charges start running towards an enemy (i tend to stay away from the warriors and heavy armor baddies) activate unsuspecting strike and hopefully deal about 100dmg, then finish the combo...
after that either run to next enemy and start combo over or teleport and gain some health... the critical eye, WoP, and critical defenses will give you some health and mana, so keep those up, usually critical eye will run out just as you activate it again, and same as critical defenses... use shadows refuge to keep your health up when it gets low... sometimes i wont even finish off an enemy, If my health is low enough i will just teleport to another to gain health, spike him and use shadows refuge to get my health up... its a good build ive used through factions, nightfall, and eye of the north.... any feed back is appreciated!!
Notes & Concerns: your not always gonna be able to use twisting fangs to finish them off, but you'll be able to use unsuspecting strike and fox fangs twice.... please give it a try im looing for a good elite to put in there that wont compromise what the build is about!

AB Unblockable Critter

Critical Strikes - 11 + 1 + 1
Dagger Mastery - 11 + 1(+2 if you feel saucy)
Shadow Arts - 7
Protection - leftovers

Way of the Assassin
Way of Perfection
Crit Defenses
Death's Charge
Golden Fox Strike
Wild Strike
Nine Tail Strike/Death Blossom/Golden Fang Strike
Mending Touch

It's a pretty simple build, although you might find yourself busy with all the skill mashing going on in an AB battle. Keep the Way of the Sin up for the Crit hits, Crit Defenses to block, Perfection for health gain and a cover enchant for both WotA and Golden Fox Strike. The combo is very simple and can be made to be wholly unblockabe w/ Nine Tail Strike. The problem with NTS, though, is its 8 second recharge. Death Blossom is a quicker recharge and deals extra damage. GFS can give a deep wound whether you hit or not, which is nice. Mending Touch, of course, is to remove Blind.

Master of Sins · Oct 25, 2007, 08:27 PM // 20:27

Profession: A/W
Name: Shadow Prison Assassin
Type: Competitive PvP
Category: Spiker
Attributes:
Critical Strikes- 11 + 3 + 1
Dagger Master- 10 + 3
Deadly Arts- 10 + 3
Skills Set:
1.) Shadow Prison [Elite, deadly arts]
2.) Iron Palm [deadly arts]
3.) Tiger Stance [strength]
4.) Falling Spider [dagger mastery]
5.) Horns of the Ox [dagger mastery]
6.) Black Lotus Strike [critical strikes]
7.) Twisting Fangs [critical strikes]
8.) Dash [no attribute]
Summary: The goal is simple- an absoloute spike that will take out any build. The tactics are the trick. Here is a basic walkthrough.
-Stay at the back of your team as you enter battle
-Pick your target in order of importance (Monk, Ritualist, Mesmer, Necromancer, Assassin, Elementalist, Paragon, Ranger, Dervish, Warrior)
-Wait until target is not adjacent to any allies for maximum spike (good for healers or curse/ blinders)
-Use Shadow Prison to slow them, then iron palm immediately for knockdown
-hit tiger stance and falling spider at the same time for max speed, then complete combo (note that combo can be performed at 30 energy, but an extra 5 is at your disposal)
-use dash for a quick escape to regenerate
-dash is also useful for solo work 1v1 or if your team is dead
Notes & Concerns: Obviously this build is very fragile and goes down easy (you only have 305 hp and 35 energy), so timing is critical for success. In addition you should equip the following-
1.) All radiant ensignias
2.) A Superior Vigor Rune, Extra rune of energy for last slot
3.) Zealous Daggers of Defense "Too Much Information" (-1 energy regen, +5 defense, +15% damage against hexed foes)
Credit: The Shadow Prison Assassin is one of the most over-used noob builds that has lost its value from improper use. After some experimentation I found it to be one of the best spike builds with a little modification and perfect timing. This is my original take on the SP Sin.

Profession: A/Rt
Name: Shadow Prison Assassin (Ritualist Modification)
Type: Competitive PvP
Category: Spiker
Attributes:
Critical Strikes- 10 + 3 + 1
Dagger Master- 8 + 3
Deadly Arts- 8 + 3
Channeling- 10
Skills Set:
1.) Nightmare Weapon [channeling]
2.) Shadow Prison [Elite, deadly arts]
3.) Black Lotus Strike [critical strikes]
4.) Horns of the Ox [dagger mastery]
5.) Ancestors Rage [channeling]
6.) Black Spider Strike [dagger mastery]
7.) Critical Strike [critical strikes]
8.) Impale [deadly arts]
Summary: A powerful spike that sacrafices attack speed and mobility for the ritualist subclass which provides about 100 hp of healing and 100 damage
-Stay at the back of your team as you enter battle
-Pick your target in order of importance (Monk, Ritualist, Mesmer, Necromancer, Assassin, Elementalist, Paragon, Ranger, Dervish, Warrior)
-Wait until target is not adjacent to any allies for maximum spike (good for healers or curse/ blinders)
-First Use nightmare weapon so you have some healing support as you spike, but it only lasts 12 seconds so do it right before!
-use Shadow Prison to slow them and engage the combo
-Once you do horns of the ox you have a perfect opportunity to use ancestors rage (1/4 second caster)
Notes & Concerns: Obviously this build also is very fragile and goes down easy (you only have 305 hp and 35 energy), so timing is critical for success. Note that you have NO escape skills, so eithr make sure you have support or be careful not to attract too much attention. In addition you should equip the following-
1.) All radiant ensignias
2.) A Superior Vigor Rune, Extra rune of energy for last slot
3.) Zealous Daggers of Defense "Too Much Information" (-1 energy regen, +5 defense, +15% damage against hexed foes)
Credit: After I developed the SP Sin I remember the various builds I'd seen that used nightmare weapon for stamina, so I figured I'd mod it and see what happened, while I was flicking through channeling magic I saw that ancestors rage would be a great addition for damage- and thus the mod was born. This is also an original build.

Profession: A/D
Name: Immortal Assassin
Type: General PvP
Category: Tank/Damage
Attributes:
Critical Strikes- 10+ 3 + 1
Dagger Mastery- 8 + 3
Shadow Arts- 10 +3
Earth Prayers- 8
Skill Set:
Unsuspecting Strike [critical strikes]
Fox Fangs [dagger mastery]
Twisting Fangs [critical strikes]
Way of the Assasin [elite, critical strikes]
Mystic Regeneration [earth prayers]
Assassins Remedy [critical strikes]
Way of Perfection [shadow arts]
Critical Defenses [critical strikes]
Summary: This build is meant to survive massive damage and outank anything. The key lies in always keeping your enchantments up and constantly attack unless you have MASS hexing. In addition, you can take out a caster in a single combo because every hit is almost always a critical strike! The best part is that the enemy will always relentlessly attack an assassin that charges in first, but your a tank so.. you get it.
Tips:
-always keep all enchantments up
-always attack, especially if your taking damage, cause you heal with each hit and cure conditions when you combo
-if your critical defenses are about to run out go for nearest enemy
-way of the assassin should always be up and only works under enchantment
-if your careful you can solo entire RA teams if they don't have a anti melee hexer or a disenchanter
Gear:
-superior vig rune
-ensignias and extra rune should add up to 30 energy- the rest hp
-Zealous Dagger of Defense "guided by fate" (-1 energy regen +1 on hit, +5 defense, +15% damage while enchanted)
Credit: When Nightfall came out and Dervs were on the in and Assassins on the out because of survivability, I decided to make an almost invulnerable assassin to change the odds. This is an original build.

Master of Sins · Oct 25, 2007, 09:53 PM // 21:53

Note: Since this build is more sin then rt I put it under sin builds.

Profession: Rt/A
Name: Ritualist Sin Spiker
Type: CompetitivePvP
Category: Spiker
Attributes:
Channeling 11 + 3 + 1
Dagger Mastery 10
Deadly Arts 10
Skill Set:
Grasping Was Kurong [elite, channeling]
Nightmare Weapon [channeling]
Falling Spider [dagger mastery]
Ancestors Rage [channeling]
Vampiric Assault [deadly arts]
Impale [deadly arts]
Signet of Toxic Shock [deadly arts]
Ressurection Signet [no attribute]
Summary: This is the highest original dps I have come up with. Using channeling as a damage and heal buff this build executes an unorthadox spike that will send even the toughest builds reeling. Here is how to use it-
-when there are about 10 seconds before the match is about to start use grasping was kurong
-wait at the back of your group until they attack, taking the attention away from you
-pick your target and hit the attack button, you will run straight up to them
-when your close use nightmare weapon, the close the rest of the distance
-drop grasping was kurong and immediately hit with falling spider, during the last bit of the knock down use ancestors rage for another 120 damage or so
-hit with vampiric assault, by now you will have healed over 150 hp
-use impale for the finish, if their still hanging on to life from a prot spell or something, finish the job with signet of toxic shock
-use rez immediately if teamate goes down so you can keep attention away from yourself
Notes & Concerns: This build can only heal while it attacks, so get back to your healing or make good your escape right after the spike. You can equip as many hp runes as you want so long as your energy stays at 35 or so (you don't need that much but thirty always cuts it close after the first spike). All in all this is an excellent addition to any team because of moderate survivability and a powerful and unexpected spike. dps is around 550-650depending on the enemies armor in about 3-4 seconds.
-you should equip zealous daggers of defense with +15% damage while hp over 50%
Credit: I was inspired when I saw another player (can't remember his name) use grasping was kurong as a spike move and immediately went to work on an adaptation for an rt/assassin. This was the result.

Profession: Assassin/Any

Name: Unsuspecting Shadow

Type: PvE

Category: Spiker

Attributes: Dagger Mastery: 9+3, Critical Strikes 10+3, Shadow Arts 12+3+1

Skills Set: Shadow Form, Shadow Walk, Unsuspecting Strike, Golden Fang Strike, Death Blossom, Dark Escape, Feigned Neutrality, Resurrection Signet

Summary: Activate Shadow Form, shadow step to your target, and deliver your spike from left to right, repeating if nessacary. Use Dark Escape to cancel Shadow Walk shadow stepping you back to your previous location. While still under the effects of Dark Escape retreat to a safe location and activate Feigned Neutrality when Shadow Form wears off and wait until your health regenerates before attacking again.

Notes & Concerns: Beware of kiting opponents running back towards the location you activated Shadow Walk. Shadow Form has a lengthy recharge time but is not nessacary for you to attack. Area of Effect spells can still cause damage to you when under the effects of Shadow Form.

name silent death

prof A/xx

type utility (any as needed)

points and runes

dagger 10(+1+2) = 13

shadow 10 (+1) = 11

Critical 11 (+2) = 13

daggers any... 15% stance or ^50 preferred

armor any..... insignias..(chest and leggings preferrable infiltrator for the 10/10 phys piercing over the usual 15 while attacking) head, gloves, boots insignias can be any i usually run as radiants

skillbar jagged...wild strike..exhaust...blossom...flash blades(E) -27 secs.... shadow refuge....critical agility...ebon escape/death retreat

(prefer ebon myself)

usagegenerally underestimated...it doesn't over-use enchants or shadow steps except to evade bad situation or jump to an ally's aid; hence reducing its attractiveness to the pve AI's attentions until you've already hit home. It's not 'uber' but it's stable and it can; in a balanced and reliable party; tank very well if need be..and hold that aggro.

It's very utilitarian. It can adjust it's focus target purely by skill orders to annoy, kill, interupt, and generally provide a quite suitable spike and/or headache as neccessary.

I've seen a few builds vaguely similar to it, and i'm not claiming it as total unique...but it is the build i've created and used since the assassin became available to me when factions released
