A/N

Before I start can someone please try this out, I don't have factions and I wanna see how effective it is, or if it isn't any good at all.

Attr:Dagger Mast = 10
Shadow Arts = 10 (sup + mask)
Blood Magic = 12

Skills:Order Of Pain (10e)
Death's Charge (05e)
Viper's Defence (05e)
Golden Lotus Strike (05e)
Wild Strike (05e)
Death Blossom (05e)
Unholy feast/Vampiric Bite (15e)
Vampiric Gaze/Vampiric Swarm (10e)

How to use:Cast Order of pain then Death's Charge, for the five seconds Order is on (well about four or three by the time you get to the enemy) start attacking. Re cast order once its finished. Once order is finished the second time, cast some life stealing skills if need be. If you feel that you dont need to yet, start spamming the three dagger attacks. Once you've used them up, re-cast life steals and continue attacking. Viper's defence is there if you are on low health and your enemy is on extremely low health. The enemy will die of poisoning while you have been teleported to a new location. Repeat until the enemy is dead, then cast a shadow step skill once you've killed an enemy before moving onto the next.

Notes:All three of your dagger attacks should only be costing 5 energy. (Otherwise too much energy is lost.)

Swap Unholy Feast with Soul Leech if at least 2 enemy monks are garuanteed to be in a mob.

I haven't tried this out yet, but I have a feeling the healing isn't powerful enough to solo with this. Find a healer friend (Mo/N is pretty cool if they take blood is power and another order of pain) so you can garuantee success. As long as the healer stays out of action completely it could work out very well.

Obviously there are certain monsters you cant use this on, but this is just a suggestion build, I don't even have factions yet so I cant really test it out. Heck, I dont even know if it'll actually work.

Feel free to comment, and suggest any better ideas.

Ive tried with Order of Pain skill, but so far its waste of time tho.. I wouldn't suggest to use OoP since you dont have time to fight that much.

I know what you mean there, Dollz. I was originally gonna put OoV but I had to settle for OoP once I found out thats only on prophecies.

I've been considering how to use Gaze of Contempt (removes all enchants from target foe) with some of the assassin skills that target foes without enchants... and in PvE at least love the condition transfer (Plague touch? Forget... transfr one condition, 5e)...

But with limited experience so far am finding assassins to be rather enjoyable. The hit-and-run technique takes a bit of getting used to but sure keeps you breathing.

I was thinking I could change Blood magic to 10 and Dagger mast to 9, which will give rank 9 in curses, so I could use MoP instead of OoP. It could be more effective, but the healing isn't as powerful...

Edit: I might also try and fit Flashing Blades and Price of Failure in there to reduce damage done.
