no shit, you MUST have almost 40 energy to even start the combo with black lotus. 10+15+5+10 and then get back energy to do the rest.
and beguiling haze's daze only lasts 5 seconds which sucks, monks can just kite and wait it out...
BUUUT yeah that combo along with shadowy burden and boa packs enough punch to kill in 5 sec or less...
so daze works not for prolonged pressure but rather to make sure they're not casting anything while you spike.
so overall yeah it should work in theory maybe i'll try it.. only problem i foresee is waiting for almost 40 energy before every spike attempt

If you get DP, you can't do your combo. You also have no reliable self heal. Personally, I think this combo is just too elaborate.

Switch Shadowy Burden and Beguiling Haze with Siphon Speed and Shroud of Silence.

15% DP won't effect this, but no more

Shield Bash
Deadly Riposte
Hex Breaker
Balanced Stance
Protector's Defense
(Wish I knew how to add fancy icons)
Remember, monks typically use stances, or, they are in a 2, 3 monk backline.

95% of monks won't actually know you excist because the fact this build has next to no use. This skill combo has been seen before countless times. I want BoA to get a serious nerf in the new future in which it cannot be used. I'm tired of cookie cutting assassins that use builds but forget the fact the oponent can kite.
If you'd really like to make a build that can kill monks and impress us, why not make a build that doesn't include skills combos that have been seen 100 times over with a possible single skill change in there.

Why not you tell me an attack chain that can do more damage? Don't complain if you can't do better.

Yanssassin does more damage...
Yangansin with Impale will make a monk freak out...not kill them, but make them less effective, and he'll have to choose between him and his teammates. ( I prefer his teammates->no more res kekeke! )

I'm pretty sure a full yanssassin combo does more raw damage. 1 prot and it's GG, but still

Raw damage on an assassin is a bad thing remember, and "raw damage" is easy for a monk to counter.
The daze in this build, even if it's only 5 seconds, with the speed of your combo can be useful, but I'd say it works better on Eles and Necros rather than monks.

Beguiling Haze is not 5 seconds. It's 6 seconds at 12 Shadow Art plus 2 more seconds from Silencing dagger. So it's 8 seconds in total. Very deadly.

see above. haze is not 5 seconds.
Shadowy Burden have 25% slow, so kiting is not an option. Also, monk's first reaction to attacks is usually cast spells to heal and not kite. Kiting only come after the first attempt to heal.

Dark Escape is self-preservation and it works better than heal. Straight healing can only get you 150 or so hp, but Dark Escape can prevent much more damage than that. It also allows you to run away from enemy.

Can't you just edit your responses into one post?
Anyhow... if you're looking for an efficient Monk terminator that works against others too.... while Beguiling Haze is nice, I have realised that Temple Strike (elite offhand) works more efficiently, and causes blind as well (hence useful against attackers too).
Now... I'm not the best at coming up with pure Assassin type combos... but perhaps something like this:
[skill]Dark Prison[/skill][skill]Black Mantis Thrust[/skill][skill]Temple Strike[/skill][skill]Twisting Fangs[/skill]
Not suggesting for the rest.
I mean... if you don't like using a Deadly Arts skill then you could switch in the first two for Death's Charge and Leaping Mantis Strike or somesuch. I just figure that Dark Prison will hold them down just long enough for Black Mantis Thrust to prevent kiting. Once you've got the four conditions on 'em... hammer away, or let someone else hammer away and get out of there.
Once again though.... I note that my suggesting anything to anyone these days tends to start arguments.... hence I ask that anyone who doesn't like what I've suggested either make their own alternate recommendations politely or ignore me completely.
