I have yet seen a decent build consist of [wiki]Seeping Wound[/wiki], I myself have never use this skill before so I come up with an idea.

[skill]Black Mantis Thrust[/skill][skill]Fox Fangs[/skill][skill]Jungle Strike[/skill][skill]Twisting Fangs[/skill][skill]Blades of Steel[/skill][skill]Seeping Wound[/skill][skill]Feigned Neutrality[/skill]

14 Dagger Mastery
13 Critical Strikes
9 Shadow Arts

This is how it looks like, I think Fox Fangs can be switched for another skill. I found that the only problem is a little short of energy.
Can anyone give me some comments and advice?

You have a hex. Why not take Black Lotus Strike or Black Spider Strike?

How about Exhausting Assault?

Proven to work, and utilises seeping wound to it's fullest:

Simply..

Seeping wound
Black Spider Strike
Twisting Fangs
Black Lotus Strike
Blades of Steel

Seeping Wounds is a horrid elite, I have no clue why you want to use it.

Seeping Wound is alright for a degen-based build but, my God... your chain is madness.

SW --> BSS --> TF --> BLS --> Moebius or something. That gives them -11 degen and you three other slots to play with. It's also a lot more flexible than your build, although you get kudos for trying to work in lead attacks.

[skill]Conjure Phantasm[/skill][skill]Seeping Wound[/skill]

Both hexes, one elite, one not. With both of them specced at 12, guess what does more DoT? Conjure Phantasm does. Why the hell would you want Seeping Wound?

Sqube · Feb 03, 2007, 10:36 PM // 22:36

Uhh... maybe you've got your secondary already tied up and you're not using an elite for your build?

Hell, I dunno. I'm just saying that, while it's not the greatest elite in the Assassin lineup, we all know what the worst one is.

[skill]Wastrel's Collapse[/skill]

Wasn't saying go /Me and use it, I'm just pointing out that there are non elites better then this elite.

HAHAHA
I think that hex should read "If the hexed target doesnt use a skill in 5 seconds.. it dies instantly." Even then.. it would be useless.

Priest Of Sin · Feb 03, 2007, 11:55 PM // 23:55

xD

Wastrel's Collapse is SO worthless as an elite... as a basic skill, it wouldn't be much better. Unless, of course, they changed it to a 3 second knockdown that had an instant recharge. Then that'd be awesome. Maybe. Not really.

But are you sure that it's the worst? Looking at Siphon Strength, I can't see a whole lot of uses for it.

Seeping Wound: Good for... not a whole lot. But you can cap it early in the game, so that's good I guess.

Collapse -> Blackout

gg.

African War Lord · Feb 04, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

I was about to say that. collapse blackout and lift enchants.

moko · Feb 04, 2007, 12:36 AM // 00:36

well, honestly, why would ANYONE waste those two spells for a really crappy KD when theres so many more options in one skill? i know you just tried to find a use for it but..its so plain useless that it isnt funny anymore.

might be funny with diversion/shame/guilt/backfire tho, forcing the target to either get KD'ed or disabling a skill/burning energy/dealing damage.

to the OP; seeping wound is crap kthx. sure builds with it work but..lol. no. it sucks. sorry. :< all builds including seeping wound fail. its a shadow prison spiker without teleport and crappy degen, totally killing the spike moment.

Living Parasite · Feb 04, 2007, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Try Wastrel's Collapse no a W/A w/ stonefist. =D If they try to use a skill, Iron Palm for dual-KD.

Dutch Masterr · Feb 04, 2007, 06:16 AM // 06:16

wastrel's collapse...why is it elite? and an even better question...why is it even a skill to begin with?

seeping wound is great, you just need 13 critical strikes.

it would be better if it had a cast time of under a second though.

Thanks for the idea.
Swapping out Fox Fangs for Black Lotus Strike provides me more than enough energy to finish off the target.
I think Black Mantis Thrust is better though since it can prevents enemy from running away, and Jungle Strike can often hit for more than 60 damage.
