This is a very directive build. What works best for me as I was struggling with dying all the time as an assassin.

Assassin/Warrior

Dagger mastery 15 (12+2+1)

Critical Strikes 13(10+3)

Rest into tactics

Skills

Palm strike/Horns of the ox/Falling spider/Twisting Fangs/Critical eye/distracting blow/bonettis defence/empty(I have sig of capture on my 8th slot so you can put whatever in here maybe defensive or balanced stance?)

What I like about this setup is it requires no gimmicks and no lead attack.

Open up with critical eye for more critical pain! Palm strike with dagger mastery 15 is always 75 damage then you pop horns of the ox to knock um down followed by a deadly falling spider and twisting fangs. Usally if I get all of these on an enemy.. they should be dead gartuneed.

Distracting blow is to interupt those times when needed (warriors casting healing sig, casters setting up a large devistating spell ..etc )and bonettis defense is for some relieve when it is available. The downside of this build is, once I use the super combo I have to wait for it to all recharge. So usally I get bombarded by melee/spell damage for a bit.

This build is more or less for assassinating lone wolves/bosses. It works very effectively. Wheres healing signet since I have tactics? It doesn't work signifigantly well for assassins. By the time you cast it granted- more or less you have the same amount of health you casted it at.

I use Butterly Knives I got from a collector in pongmei valley

7-17
%15damage above 50
%20 from customizing
and I put a health mod on it believe

Don't go try soloing with this build unless you know where lone runners are. This is not a lone fighter build and requires a healer.

no shadow steping skills, no dodgeing skills, no dmg avodience skills of any kind... quit trying to tank with an ass and you'll die alot less.

he has Bonnetti's...

anyways... i'd recommend dropping HoO... most of the time in PvE their all grouped up...

a similar combo would be : Mark of Instability > Palm Strike {E} > Twisting Fangs > Falling Spider
