The Black Lotus Assassin
Well, Ive been experimenting with Moebius Strike for awhile and it seemed only useful in stringing together two dual attacks, the recharge while under 50% was never applied in my builds. This new build I have strung together uses it to keep the flow of attack going at a strong pace, it allows for hit and run tactics and good defense. Unsuspecting Strike can be replaced out for Black Mantis Strike for a snare, but Shadow of Haste should prevent the target from escaping your grasp.

**EDIT** AH HAH!!! may i ask the purpose of 13 deadly arts?

for certain situations where a rez sig is pointless as in AB or things like aspenwood replacing that with plague touch could be nice.

Lord Oranos · Jun 28, 2006, 03:24 AM // 03:24

OMG.... I didnt even see deadly arts up there... yeah in aspenwood res sig can be switched out for anything

Kijik Oni Hanryuu · Jun 28, 2006, 04:56 AM // 04:56

niiiiiice in a situation where ya don't need the res sig, nine tail strike FTW, surprising how many people have overlooked nine tail as a devastating attack.

I think Im going to scrap this build, I either havnt gotten the timing down, or the recharge is far too conditional to warrent a build around moebius's recharge ability.

Any healing will stop mobius.

I know...oh well, its nice in theory >.<

Lambentviper · Jun 28, 2006, 11:47 PM // 23:47

as so many things in GW :/

so true. Or you could just be old fashioned (sp) and wait out the 25sec recharge of BLS. Or in place of the rez sig but another offhand like GPS or something else to do while BLS is recharging
