Ahh, what a silly-Billy I am; I meant Fox Fangs as the off-hand, Golden Lotus Strike can be used INSTEAD of Disrupting Stab. My mistake, sorry.

Sorry I'm kind of late on the reply guys, I thought this thread had died ^_^;;

Sadly, as of now, almost none. Other than novelty of course. See, the main thing that really ticked me off about Assassins was that they were so hard to play well and relatively unforgiving if you slip up. Thus, MUCH better AL and the addition of Absorbtion runes were meant to make up for the lower amount of point in Dagger Mastery.

To be very honest, I really only made this to see if it would work, and work efficiently as a DPS build. I adopted the idea that it would create a more durable assassin substitute as I went along. xD

Unfortunately the validity of this build has been lowered pretty dramatically due to the recent armor/rune nerf.

I had a lot of fun writing this guide and playing the build though so I guess it's not a failure.

If you're new to this build, it still works it's just lost some of its finer points.

Thanks for the love and criticism all, <3

What do you run? I've killed quite a few assassins with my build so long as they don't cheese on me and bring 50 million evade stances.

Yeah nice self healing. This build can do damge but you cant stay alive for shit. AOD assassins still win vs you and they have much better self preservation.

Like I said, damage, damage, damage. I also stated you could throw in some shadow stepping or whatever.

AoD assassin has more survivability, yes. However, if you're teleporting around everywhere you're not doing much damage. And again, the better armor of warriors puts W/A pretty on par to an A/X depending on the skills used. This build allows you play an assassin but with brawler toe to toe like strategy. You can take a few hits in the chest from a lightning bolt, very much unlike an assassin.

edit: Besides, who needs self healing when you've got a monk to back you up?

Hmm, I suppose Hammers or Axes would have higher DPS than daggers on a warrior. However this one is pretty cool, Warrior's Endurance is very good for energy management, it's better than florish in some instances because you might not have enough base energy for the combo, let alone it and florish at the end.

Warrior's Endurance>Flourish for this build IMO. GL with the build.
