First off I want to state one thing, Assassins seem to have some serious energy management problems, you basically have one full nergy bar, you fire off a full "clip" of energy and the enemy is dead, only problem is that that leaves you out of options for about 25-30 secs.
This is leading into the fact that I want to make a neverending assault using Moebius and a 3-4 hit combo. So I would like to know, in your experiences what are 2-3 good energy management skills, and when combined with a zealous weapon would be able to allow me to continuously fire off combos using Moebius strike?

what skills are you using? armor? weapons?

in my experience i have never had any energy problems... with CS around 11-13 and using BLS in most of my builds

you could use Way of the Lotus as well i guess... but that would prolly do more harm then good as you'd have to drop some points in CS for SM

zealous daggers are pretty much a must for assassins. and ive nver personally had energy problems...even spamming Palm Strike {E} along with my dual attacks and heals

I just have small problems I guess becuase I use Shiro's but anyway, umm I was mainly wondering what good skills would be good fo the neverending combo..

just keep your CS at 13 and use critical eye, most of your energy problems should disappear (4 energy / crit hit).

Critical Eye, Zealous Daggers, 13+ critical strikes should give you enough energy

forget useing assassin primary if you want to run large energy spikes repeditively. go as a storage sin instead. E/A, el armor with the + to phsyical has the same AC as the assassin, but gives you 70-80 energy to play with. i have a E/A build up in the stickey that got me to house of zu with only 10 deaths, most of which were suicides on aflicted monk death novas in the missions to help the rest of my team take out big groups.

LOL E/A? just go R/A with expertise...now you have some evade stances , even more energy management, and more armour.

I use +5 nrg/zealous daggers and i never have any nrg problems with management :P

I like to use the Critical Strike dual attack and Critical Eye as a way of ensuring critical hits. Thus ensuring at least 8 energy (at 13 CS) every 6 seconds. Works very nicely with Way Of Perfection, as it guarantees healing every 6 seconds also.
I only ever see about 2 set's of these though as I generally use 2 combos then I'm gone

. Golden Lotus Strike is also a nice skill for energy.

Additional notes: don't listen to me, as I have very little experience with Naruto's :P.

zealous daggers and problem should be solved unless every skill cost 10 energy then its rough
