Default Non-shove Assassin build

Due to the recent destruction of Shadow Stepping I have been forced to re-evaluate my assassin's build. This is what I came up with...

[scorpion wire][falling spider][twisting fangs][moebius strike][critical strike][vampiric assault][dash][restful breeze]

I basically stick someone with Scorpion Wire, run away until I trigger the teleport, and let off my combo, alternating between CS and VA. Any ways I could improve the build?

There's an E in moebius?

Oh, and my assassin doesn't have Icy Daggers, I believe...

@ around: not you. on top of that, no runes?

@ OP

I won't comment on your major attr runes... that debate has been had too often already. But at mediocre DA, Vamp really isn't that smexy...

with the entire chain being dependant on a single KD (and the rest of it not being f*cked) I'd try to work an extra KD in there somewhere. Obvious suggestion would be [iron palm]

Just wondering if less dagger wouldn't benefit VA more... You're using mainly CS and DA from what I see

I was kind of stuck as what to put in there, but I swapped it for Iron Palm.

I give base attributes only, to avoid confusion over runing. Runes go in the obvious places.

I've found Scorpion Wire a worryingly large amount of fun way before the shadowstep "balance". It's fun to use on Kiters. Cast it, let them run away until they think they're safe...then..."OHai! ^_^".
