Profession: A/x
Name: Black Lotus
Type: General PvP: RA, TA, ABs
Category: Spiker/Interupter
Attributes:

12+2 Daggers
6+1 Shadow Arts
12+1 Critical Strikes

Skills Set:

Aura of Displacement {E}
Mark of Instability
Black Lotus Strike
Twisting Fangs
Falling SPider
Horns of the Ox (Blades of Steel)
Shadow Refuge (or other heal)
Ressurection Signet

Summary: AoD to your target as soon as you cast Mark of Instability to catch them off guard. This costs 20 energy, but Black Lotus Strike should give you 16-17 energy back, which is more than enough for the rest of your bar. Follow with twisting fangs for deep wound spike and a free knockdown, and a Falling Spider for some high extra damage and another -4 regen.
Now, you have 2 options:
-Horns of the OX: This adds another KD into the mix, suggested for takeing out monks.
-Blades of Steel: If you favor the super-spike, go with this. Has taken down a mesmer with Illusion of Weakness and started from 3/4 max health.

Notes & Concerns: Black Lotus Strike has a 25 second recharge. Stay out of the way of targets while this recharges.

Why use Black lotus when Golden lotus is right there? I think the 25 second recharge on that skill castrates it, especially as your only lead. Why aren't you using a Superior rune, btw? They're well worth it.

All in all I think being able to pull out a combo only once every 25 seconds is just way too weak. In the time you pull off three, some esle has pulled off 5.

lol... all you did was switch out Wild Blow for Shadow Refuge and play around with the attributes... don't give yourself too much credit :P

imo BLS is needed for this build... as AoD and MoI will take up 20 Energy and you need the energy gain from BLS to maintain your chain
