Ive tried using assassins promise with dark escape before....didnt work out to well

the problem is...its not a guaranteed kill unless you bring some Xtra damage ...or reduces heals effect

Aswell there is no survival in this build...if your degended conditioned...your dead all those points into deadly arts just for assassins promise isnt needed and if your going to do that then Asta la vista ...a build cant be broken if a mere bleed will kill you in 30 secods bring shadow refugee if you need to

but a build that wont survive isnt broken....blinding surge is broken

"Extremely Broken". PvP variant uses Shadow Prison.

Old news.

yan its not exactly a variant since shadow walk isnt used in some shadow prison builds and assassin promise gives potential to more spikes

but I digress

Assassins promise, shadow walk black lotus strike/mantis strike twisting fangs black spider strike blades of steel/shattering assault Deadly paradox Fiegned

Works better due to deadly canceling shadow walk and letting fiegned be spammed within 1-2 seconds after ending

Isn't Shattering Assault an elite?

I would bring 1 more 2 deadly arts damage skills, like signet of toxic shock or impale.

Um.. wouldn't using Deadly Paradox to cancel Shadow Walk disable all of those attack skills that Assassin's Promise just recharged, thereby um.. getting rid of the point of the whole build? Not to mention that Feigned Neutrality can only be used when NOT in Shadow Walk mode.

Make a video vrs a (large) group of torments please, I think it would be far more impressive. It does look good from the given video, but the again, those are rather easily defeatable monsters.

Very good, just need a small change.

Swap the order of Black Lotus and Black Spider. Using Black Lotus first just waste a lot of energy

saying to use deadly paradox was so, if the opponent Does not die the INSTANt the combo is over you can heal and run out, at that time degen may kill and then all skills are recharged.

Anyhow
Sins promise
Burst of aggression
Combo
