it can be capped from Xuexao (or something) in pongmei valley.

and seriously people, think outside the box. In ele or ranger spike teams, a Mo/A can cast this on the spike target right before they are spiked if he/she needs energy, or a high healing skill recharged.

and some ignorant person compared Oath Shot to this. Well, if you are a Me/A, how are you going to use Oath Shot then? YOU CANT!!

"why not go Me/R then?" some people dont walk around with random bows expecting perfect shots from their Oath Shot, and they may have a need for the assassins' skills.

duh durr durrr

Oath Shot

If Oath Shot hits, all your other skills are recharged. If it misses, all your skills are disabled for 10 seconds. (50% miss chance with Expertise attribute of 7 or less)

Assassin's Promise
For 5..13 seconds, if target foe dies, you gain 5..17 Energy, and all your skills are recharged.

your leaving out assassin's energy bonus an what happens if oath shot misses? your skills are disabled for 10 secs. assassin's promise does not have that downside. they both have the good and bad thing about them.

doh:..... if you yous a/ele
and u yous glyphf of sacrifise and then this it wil be cast instanly..............

yea i am good

think about that

Glyph of Sacrifice - Glyph
Your next Spell may be cast instantly, but takes an additional 90 seconds to recharge.

and i think this wil racharge to

Note from Lasher Dragon: Double posting is bad. Triple posting is kinda ridiculous. Quadruple posting borders on the ignorant. There is an Edit Post button for a reason.

Um...this skill rocks. Period. It recharges your skills AND giver you a large net energy. Assassin's Promise> Black Lotus Strike > Twisting Fangs. (in PvE that is...not as usefull in PvP).

tuperwho · Jun 22, 2006, 08:23 PM // 20:23

I agree with Ogami. I use it right before twisting fangs (imo, the best dual attack). Two attacks with good + damage + deep wound = dead enemy. Casting AP right before this skill pretty much ensures it won't be stripped before the enemy is dead and it can take effect. I wouldn't have any other elite. Unlimited/continuous attack combos ftw!

So the crack, its good?

Assassin's Promise can be used on a SECONDARY assassin, making it a hundred times more versatile. I will not begin to discuss the PVP implications of this skill, but in PVE with a good team its simply ridiculous. I use it on my Ele (sacrifice meteor shower), and I use it on my Monk (divine spirit) and am sure I could work it into other builds, if I tried.

Heres my Fire Elementalist / Assassin's Promise PVE build:

Rodgort's Invocation / Rez / Cap
Flame Burst
Fireball
Glyph of Sacrifice
Meteor Shower
Assassin's Promise
Dark Escape
Fire Attunement

It tears stuff up. If Meteor Shower alone can fully exhaust an elementalist with that build, Id love to see what it did to an Oath Shot ranger.

u can cap this skill for Xuekao, the Deceptive at Pongmei Vally right by Maatu Keep

infernolord222 · Jul 20, 2006, 01:59 AM // 01:59

the recharge has been changed to .75 seconds

Insomnia is Tiring · Aug 31, 2006, 01:56 AM // 01:56

OK..now that we all know It is 3/4 of a seconds or .75 CAN WE GET THAT IN OUR HEAD!! ok, this skill is amasing if you have a nice set-up it is possible to kill anyone at any time, the thing with oath shot is you have to wait 25 seconds which of course, is a looooooooooooooong time. where 10-12 isn't, if you're having doubt with this skill talk to the guild "STD" A great guild which has put use to this skill in their guild battles. I, myself, use this skill all the time in my build (..and haven't lost a single battle apart from a few runners which of course everyone hates, I'm just not stupid enough to follow them.)

Plus I'm not posting my build, go copy someone elses. We all know what happens when you post a build.

whobitz · Sep 05, 2006, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Try it on a trapper using whirling. Similar to an oath shot trapper, just doesn't have the 25 sec. recharge of oath shot. And you get a little energy as a bonus. Not a bad skill, just takes a little practice on the timing. Never tried it, but that probably wouldn't work so well in most PvP...but PvE is different all together.

Nigel Strange · Oct 03, 2006, 02:38 AM // 02:38

If nobody resonded to this earlier, the skill can be capped from that Jade Brotherhood boss outside the Keep. He's easy to get to if you leave from there. I got it on both my assassin and my necro and it works dandy.

You cast it, then you make your kill, then all your skills are recharged. Rinse repeat. Makes life pretty simple.

Just don't tell ANET or they'll nerf it.

deathiseternal · Oct 14, 2006, 08:40 PM // 20:40

Assassin's Promise is cappable in PvE. I believe you cap it from Xueako(sp?), the Deceptive, near Matau Keep. EDIT: nvm, i see people have already replied and have said where it can be capped.
