I was looking over some of the newer nightfalls skills for sins and I had an idea for a solo uw sin, sadly enough I cant test it though because I dont have nightfall yet, so Im posting it here for anyone who wishes to test it, hope you have some fun with it and good luck

Profession Is Assassin/Mesmer

Attribute Points:

Critical Strikes - 0
Dagger Mastery - 0
Shadow Arts - 14 (10+1+3)
Deadly Arts - 9 (6+3)

Illusion Magic - 0
Inspiration Magic - 6
Domination Magic - 12

NOTE: These points are only obtainable with both +15 attribute point quests completed.

Skills:

Shadow Form {Elite}
Empathy
Energy Burn
Shadow Refuge
Deadly Paradox
Spirit Of Failure
Unnatural Signet
Arcane Echo

Armor:

I would suggest using full shrouded with a helm that gives +1 to shadow arts because it gives you more energy, and thats a definent when running this build.

Weapon:

The only weapon I suggest using is a max dmg domination req wand, preferably the one from the collector in snake dance (11-22 Req 9 Domination 10% Chance of Half Recharge / 10% Chance Of Half Casting Time)

Running The Build:

Ok, well my idea was to do it as if you were dualing like with a 55 Monk and a Ss Necro, pulls are all the same, but all the casting you do yourself. The only problem I can really think of that worries me is that your energy might run low fighting grasps because shadow form doesnt protect you from "Fear Me!".
Other then that, "Spirit of Failure" at +3 energy for every attack because every attack will miss because of shadow form for 30 seconds times however many blades/smites u cast it on should be more then enough to hold you.

Pulling this is a little bit difficult though, your going to have to reduce your pulls to minimum groups of just 1-3 blades becuase empathy has a 10 second recharge. So when pulling, you should get the group you want, and pull them into a narrow spot like by the stairs or by the ghosts so only 1 can attack you, and take them out 1 at a time. I noticed theres a 10-11 second gap after your Shadow Forms run out before you can echo and cast again, so I suggest hiding behind the lone ghost on the back side (Ill post screen shots soon). In this spot the blades cant get to you, giving you time to recharge.

What you want to do while pulling all groups is make sure your arcane echo is ready to take "Shadow Form" which is going to be the base of this build. Directly after "Shadow Form" is casted, you always want to put on "Deadly Paradox". Since the recharge on "Deadly Paradox" is 10 seconds and it should be lasting 11 seconds, that gives you a 1 second interval to recast it, which is necessary for the build to work because in doing this, shadow form will recharge in only 30 seconds, which between the Original "Shadow Form" and the "Arcane Echo" version, the original will be recharged and ready to go again. so you have about 1 minute to kill off your blades before they start landing attacks on you. Not that good, but should be very possible between "Empathy" and "Energy Burn".

Anyways, thats about all I can think of, tell me how it goes and Id appreciate the feedback, thanks and happy hunting

I credit only myself for this build.

fear me shouldn't be a problem, because they wont get adrenaline from missing you.

Your build lacks a lot if offense, and has no AoE? It will take a loooong time to kill things 1 at a time, especially with smites reversal of fortune

Why unnatural signet? the recharge on it is huge, and the damage is mediocre. Even putting in a shadow or deadly arts damage skill will outperform it.
