Hi guys, I really want to play female Assasin, but unfortunately, I don't like all the face options that are provided by this game, they are all too ugly imo. However, I do like my female warrior very much. so i'm wondering is there any build for the warrior that can give me assasin feeling(sneaky, fast and deadly)? I am not hoping for to turn it to a 100% assasin because i know it's never gonna happened, but maybe like 70%? Is there any build like that? Thank you very much!

You can use shadow steps. Other than that, just make a warrior. You can always pretend to be sneaky.

You can still be sneaky with a hammer, right?

You could do a standard (Sword, Hammer, Axe) warrior build and put in a shadowstep and/or Disrupting Dagger, or something.... :S

hmm........so i guess a warrior should never ever use a dagger, right?

That's right. Warrior's primary attribute is wasted when using bows or daggers.

Pvxwiki.com is your friend.

[Eviscerate]
[Executioner's Strike]
[Disrupting Chop]
[Bull's Strike]
[Frenzy]
[Rush]
[Death's Charge]
[Resurrection Signet]

EDIT:

Or you can try something with [Warrior's Endurance]. If you're planning to run W/A's with daggers, the only thing I can say is GG.

^Shadowstep to Bull's Strike in AB is funny. I land a KD almost 100% of the time.

You can run daggers in PvE, Heroes and Henchmen don't complain, but with a real group or PuG I would use a warrior weapon.
Here's some ideas.

W/A Daggers
[warrior's [email protected]][golden fox [email protected]][wild [email protected]][death [email protected]][power [email protected]][save yourselves][lion's [email protected]][res sig]
{rough attributes}
Works pretty well, ok damage, and you can charge up SY pretty well, if you trust your monks you could swap Lion's for FGJ! for more SY spam.

W/A Ab ganker.
[you're all alone][[email protected]][executioner's [email protected]][swift [email protected]][signet of malice][healing [email protected]][shadow walk][dash]
{rough attributes}
[You're all alone!][sever [email protected]][[email protected]][sun and moon [email protected]][signet of malice][healing [email protected]][shadow walk][dash]
{rough attributes}
YAA! to shut down melee foes and stop your foe kiting. Dismember/Sever and executioner's/gash for damage along with swift chop/sun and moon to punish blockers (rangers). Healing signet and Signet of malice for survival (I rarely get lucky enough to have a monk in my group in Ab), Healing signet for the heal and signet of malice for condition removal.
Shadow walk is great, you can quickly get to your foe and if you're in trouble simply hit dash and you're teleported back to your original position with a speed boost to run away with ^^.

This is more a low-end PvP build but you could mod it for PvE and keep the same feel, just replace YAA! with an elite attack.

Or just something simpler like these.

W/A PvE.
[[email protected]][executioner's [email protected]][body [email protected]][disrupting [email protected]][[email protected]][dash][death's [email protected]][res sig]
{rough attributes}

3 high damage attacks, an interrupt, an IAS (with cancel/speed boost for kiters.) and a utility skill (deaths charge). Not great but meh, it will work.

Anyway, thats just some ideas for you, just try things out and see what you like, I would get a good pure warrior build sorted out for when you want to do something serious though.

maybe try something like this [deaths [email protected]][Leaping Mantis [email protected]][Jungle [email protected]][Horns of the [email protected]][Falling [email protected]][Blades of [email protected]][Burst of [email protected]][[email protected]] just a thought

Tyla · May 11, 2008, 10:15 AM // 10:15

Leprachaun, on those "YAA!" builds, remove Shadow Walk and Dash and take Frenzy and Rush, Flail instead of Frenzy if you want.

Remove Swift Chop for Bull's Strike on the Axe and Heal Sig for Bull's Strike on the Sword.

And IAS on the Evis too.

Should be miles better then.

Maybe take "FGJ!" on the Dagger instead of Lion's Comfort or Power Attack.

I already mentioned taking FGJ! instead of lion's on the dagger build.
I could take an IAS rather than shadow walk (and have in the past) but find that I kill well enough without one and I find the difference in damage is made up for with versatility and suvivablity (I don't take ab very seriously anyway.), I would probably take an IAS if I was using it in RA though.

I personally prefer getting though blocking to the KD of bull's, firstly because every player and there mum tend to bring blocking into ab these days and the fact that most of the players in ab are too slow in the head to run away from me anyway. I also need the self heal, it synergises really well with shadow walk (pull out of combat, heal, jump back into combat.), and there is usually nobody else around to heal me anyway.

If I were taking it more seriously they are probably good suggestions though, thanks.
