this is a pve/pvp build if you cant read, And if you didnt notice, Dark escape has a few seconds of downtime before you can activate it again, so i use either physical or elemental resistance when i fight creatures of those types in pve. Before you criticise someones build please actually thing of something wrong with it...

just one question: what weapons do you use? (I guess it's energy daggers with hp or +20%ench) and what armor?
and one idea: Sympathetic Visage may work well here.

I'm gonna try it.

EDIT: Since I think daggers attack speed is more or less the same as sword, I think the best weapon choice is a Sword with +5 energy and +20% enchantments, and a Jewelled Chakram with +5 armor and +45 hp when enchanted. But I'd like to know what's exactly the attack speed for daggers.

this build sounds very intresting... going to have to get some faction to skill unlock.

Shizuka Gozen · Jul 22, 2006, 09:28 AM // 09:28

Nice, sounds like this build would be very useful

I never thought about that, don't know enough about Mesmers

I'll have to try this sometime..maybe tomorrow :P
Very nice job.

Basically here is my critism: These skills are horrible, suicidal and needs to be removed from guild wars or denerfed a lot. So the use of them for extra armor for only a few seconds is a waste of a skill slot.

Rhedd · Jul 22, 2006, 11:00 AM // 11:00

So is this build good against... trolls? ^_^

I don't know how effective it is yet, but it sure sounds FUN.

Evilsod · Jul 22, 2006, 11:32 AM // 11:32

Wow, i was expecting something completely ridiculous and a build that the whole world uses (Like the echo nunker thread in ele

).

I think i'd be better as Me/A though personally, 16 Illusion would hurt alot more, not to mention you can put the excess in fast casting and bring along Distortion (maybe). Quite an interesting build though. Its still plagued by crippling though. The main weakness to an IW, specially since you can't evade it while using Dark Escape.

Blind Rage · Jul 22, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23

thanks for the comments, like i said earlier, if i am fighting something like imps, which i dont fight with this build, i would bring elemental resistance to soften the blows in between the down time of dark escape. If you dont like those skills, no one is making you run them its just my preference.

no i dont think this would work very good on trolls, maybe something with repeating strike/flashingblades/live vicariously? but even that would be hard.
assasins arent really meant for big group aggros, so there arent that many skills to help in situations like that, if you get something working definately tell me i would be very interested in it and I would praise you as a god for a few days :P

Might be fun to try a pair of A/Me using Arcane Mimicry, one with IW and another with Locust's Fury. With 13 in DM you'd both have 46% double strike, giving you in effect a 49 or so dmg IW. You could only keep it up half of the time though, with Mimicry's cooldown. But that's a lot of armor-ignoring damage over 30 seconds (1,100 or so each).

Nice build though. Great use of Dark Escape. Me/A is probably the way to go, since you're giving up the Assassin's main benefit (energy gain on crit).

Timjack · Jul 23, 2006, 10:25 AM // 10:25

This build sounds really cool and I sure wanna try it, but where can i capture the elite skill? Is getting to Droks the only way?

Blind Rage · Jul 25, 2006, 04:23 AM // 04:23

unfortunately droks is the only way unless you wanna do iron mines, which is a hassle, and doesnt always spawn

Two April Mornings · Jul 25, 2006, 04:34 AM // 04:34

Ingenious build, have been using it in RA tonight as a Me/A.

Are u serious? These are some of the best stance skills in GW. They are the reason you can solo farm so many things as W/Me. Please.

I'm supposed this build is for RA and to kill those Mending Paladin ? If it's true, then it is a good build.

Blind Rage · Jul 25, 2006, 04:39 AM // 04:39

lol it owns mending pallies, works pretty good everywhere I must admit

Xiaxhou of Trinity · Jul 25, 2006, 04:49 AM // 04:49

@Araid: If you used zealous daggers or any sort of zealous wep it wouldn't matter since you woudlnt' be gaining any energy from them. Zealous wep require you to 'hit' and IW doesnt' deal any melee dmg but armor ignoring chaos dmg. Therefore you dont' gain adrenaline or hp from vamp or energy from zealous mods since you're not technically 'hitting' the enemy. A build I've been thinking of but never got around to, very nice though. Once I finish up my mes I think I can get my glad points with it now =]

Ok before I end the post let me rant like an old hag: My team and I (playing as spirit spammer) won 9 times consecutively. Now I'm not a pvper much to say so getting the glad title finally was a big deal to me. But darn it we lost the last battle. Argh! I can't even get the first Glad title lol =]

Claymore · Jul 25, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Ok quick question here, does the damage from IW get affected by spells such as retribution or empathy?

No and yes, respectively.

IW never hits so anything that triggers off a successful hit will not work. IW does, however attack. It just misses. Anything that triggers off an attack will still work.

Claymore · Jul 25, 2006, 08:53 PM // 20:53

Wow ok, clear as mud then lol!

Blind Rage · Jul 29, 2006, 07:45 AM // 07:45

on a completely different note....

its a shame sand shards doesnt stack with iw.... a d/me or me/d would rule with that

Tripped · Aug 01, 2006, 08:53 PM // 20:53

this is a really good build

but i don't have an assasin
