Ive been experimenting alot and i keep coming back to this build as it has virtually infinite energy while having the lowest base energy pool and the highest possible health for my char.

Its not the hardest hitting character but it usually gets the job done. With a major vigor and full valkyrie you get 556 hp and 25 energy.
Currently im using Xuekao daggers. So hp could still go up with a +30 mod.

Attributes:
Dagger Mastery 12 (10+1+1)
Shadow Arts 11 (10+1)
Critical Strikes 12 (11+1)
points left: 1

Palm Strike (elite)
Critical Strike
Golden Lotus Strike
Wild Strike
Critical Eye
Way of Perfection
Shadow Refuge

That leaves 1 slot left to fill.
If you need more punch you can use Repeating Strike right after Wild Strike or pack another dual. A run buff or ss skill could also work depending on needs or preference.

First throw Way of Perfection and Critical Eye on yourself then open with Palm Strike to start of with a solid 53 dmg. Then Critical Strike which will give you back 6 energy. After that Golden Lotus which will give you another 9 energy. If Golden lotus scores a critical you get an additional 3 energy back over the 9 and follow it up with Wild Strike and whatever you may have next. Horns of the Ox seems quite nice to throw in next as it also has a low cost and decent recharge so you could use that on the open slot.

The good thing about this build is that youre combo cant really get screwed if one skill fails. It combains the best possible energy management i can think of with decent damage and self heals. Altough it has nice hp its still not a tank ofcourse. But for pve its not that hard to find either a single target somewhere or just let the warrior take the aggro.
