Strength of honor the assasins, blessed signet, spam judges insight + balth aura on them. They should totally shutdown the enemy casters/monks/everything and massacre with their smiting p0w3rz3rz. ftw. just my idea, don't think it will be real FOTM tho, thats saved for the water/air lightning touch/ride the lightning ele's

Why would this be the new FotM? You could already do this using W/Me instead of A/Me. Really, I would think it might work better with warriors since they have higher base damage due to Strength, and neither classes is going to be using attack skills because of Blackout.

Strength is negligable, and blackout kills adrenaline- all the warrior had is lost, and none can be gained for 5 seconds. An assassin, however, has a cooldown on his primary attack chain, usually of around 12 seconds. The assassin has the energy to consistently blackout, loses nothing by using blackout, and will have his skills re-enabled right around the time they recharge anyway. Assassin blackout synergy kicks warrior blackout synergy in the head.

It's still not enough to be a FOTM, though.

I'm not sure if anyone else has had their eye on it, but I'm really drooling over the Unseen Fury skill in the Shadow Arts line.

"Stance. For 10...30 seconds, you cannot be "blocked" or "evaded" by Blinded foes."

Combine that with something like Throw Dirt, Signet of Midnight, Blinding Flash, or Temple Strike, and you're in business. Once you get a blind on them and pop that stance, virtually all of your hits should land, which means it will be much easier to combo dagger skills. As long as you bring cover conditions, your only real problem should be things like Martyr and Draw/Restore Conditions.
