This build allows me to solo many places. Obviously, its not as fast or efficient as a warrior, monk, or ritualist, but it gets the job done. From left to right, my skillbar is as follows:
Disrupting Stab (swap this for whatever you want)
Golden Phoenix Strike
Death Blossom
Golden Lotus Strike
Healing Breeze (Vigorous Spirit works too)
Healing Hands {E} - requires prophecies
Live Vicariously - requires prophecies
Balthazars Spirit - requires prophecies
For attributes, I do the following:
max healing
almost max dagger mastery (I go to 11 + superior rune + helm)
remaining points go into critical strikes
I also suggest a dagger upgrade that makes your enchantments last longer...I use a 20%
I've posted variations of this build in a couple of spots around guildwarsguru, usually getting a lot of crap about it because it provides a way for an assassin to be a tank. Most people dont think assassins should tank, but quite frankly, I dont care what other people think.
The build works great in my opinion, allowing me to solo many places. Energy management is not a concern, because you will always be the focus of the enemy attacks if you play solo. Balthazars Spirit will keep your energy full.
Some places i like to use this build:
Wajjun Bazaar
Pongmei Valley
Arborstone
The Yeti outside of Aspenwood (Luxon side - cant remember the area name)
Works well in many popular Prophecies farming locations too
Might take you a bit of practice to get all the timing right, but it works...I use this build on my own assassin.
Enjoy
