[card]poison tip signet[/card][card]expose defenses[/card][card]iron palm[/card][card]leaping mantis sting[/card][card]temple strike[/card][card]twisting fangs[/card][card]signet of deadly corruption[/card][card]signet of toxic shock[/card]

Pretty much just use this from left to right. Btw, since Expose Defenses is 10 en, and can throw you off of balance with energy management, only use it when you know your target will be blocking.

Any equipment you want. I require 40 energy myself to use all of the skills from expose defenses to twisting fangs, and have about 2 energy left when I use my signets. Without Expose Defenses, you can use 30 energy, or use Expose Defenses WITH 30 energy, but you better have high crit strikes

Critical Strikes 9 + 3
Deadly Arts 10
Dagger Mastery 10 + 1 + 1
Wilderness Survival 7

Equipment, you can use lengthen daze or blind, whichever you prefer. Also, in conjuction with that, depending on your usage of Expose Defenses, you can carry +15% Damage (vs. hexed foes) if you're going to be using it frequently.

Note: Poison Tip Signet and Signet of Deadly Corrupt do not show up, so here's what they do.

Poison Tip Signet: Signet. For 60 seconds, your next attack also inflicts Poison for 11 seconds. (Attrib: Wilderness Survival)
Signet of Deadly Corruption: Signet. Must follow a dual attack. This attack deals 25 damage for each condition on target foe (maximum 130 damage). (Attrib: Deadly Arts)

another RA newbie build??? I THINK SO!!!!!!

DRGN · Mar 04, 2008, 09:58 PM // 21:58

So wait, you're using Expose as your only hex? What's to stop me from just ending my pre-veil and casting Guardian?

Sir Pandra Pierva · Mar 04, 2008, 10:01 PM // 22:01

i'd drop one of the sigs for a shadowstep

Um all you did was take out sadist sig for iron palm and a res for expose. I am assuming this is a pvp build. You always want a res except for in ab well and when you are a monk.

Fix your attribs. No need for 12 crit when most of your damage is coming from the deadly arts line. No need for sup runes.
Maybe switch expose for guiding hands. Just put 3 into wind and you can use your whole chain then your sigs with no worry of pre vail or gurdian.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Mar 04, 2008, 10:19 PM // 22:19

1 problem with that

he is a a/r for poison tip sig.

FengShuiDove · Mar 04, 2008, 10:40 PM // 22:40

You have no self heals, no res skill, no conditions or hex management, no snare, no shadow step, no nothing.

For your future information, one huge chain is NOT a good Assassin build. Also, for your future information, one thread is plenty.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Mar 04, 2008, 10:41 PM // 22:41

i hurd crit strikes were e managment with zelous daggers

QFT oi enough of these...

RavagerOfDreams · Mar 04, 2008, 10:59 PM // 22:59

i hurd minor runes were good...

i also hurd rezing was good...

and no 12 crit strikes and zealous dags does not make up for a loss of 45 energy

tehshadowninjar · Mar 04, 2008, 11:20 PM // 23:20

Thing is, I wait right before I get to them to run Exposed Defenses, then KD, and daze them before they can cast veil. Most people don't use veil anyways. And I don't use Zealous, since I execute the combo, then retreat. And FYI who think this is a bad build? It's not. My snare is Leaping Mantis Sting. All I have to do is use it, so they have Cripple, Bleeding, Deep Wound, Daze, Poison, and Blind on them all at once. Which gets them to half health or less, + the 200+ damage from sigs.

Tyla · Mar 04, 2008, 11:23 PM // 23:23

That made my cry.

A similar build I made that is quite bad.

RavagerOfDreams · Mar 04, 2008, 11:25 PM // 23:25

hmmmm

lemme see kk so we all know we start off with 480 health right

so first your sup rune says screw health its baad and drops you down to 405. Next your thinking yea i guess you can make up for some of that w survivors insignia's but no because your chain sigs or no sigs costs 45 energy. That is ridiculous. So then you have your +1/-1 dags w +5 energy and +30 health. you end up with a sin with 435 health that has no self heal no rezz and horrible e management

ill stick with [card]Shadow Prison[/card] or [card]Aura of Displacement[/card] ty.... they kill just as easily but w/o the fail

moriz · Mar 04, 2008, 11:25 PM // 23:25

unsuspecting strike->lotus strike->twisting fangs->golden fox strike->wild strike->blades of steel->AoD{e}->restful breeze

that's a build i made by randomly selecting a bunch of skills. i think it's better than yours.

there i fixed that for you ^_^

Bobby2 · Mar 05, 2008, 01:04 PM // 13:04

Iron Palm-Leaping Mantis is just stupid, Black Mantis Thrust would be a lot better.

Build still sucks.

Before they cast veil. Monks who run veil Pre Veil themself before the fight.

IMO not worth 8 skills to set up only one You are gunning to use sig of corruption. It would be a great skill if they changed it a bit but untill then it is a hard combo to us. You have no heal no hex removal no condition removal and no rez. If i was playing against you I would slow you and degenerate you to death.

Sig of toxic shock is viable by its self and also the blind signet (cant think of the name) But sig of deadly coruption is too conditional for me
