This build is for my own amusement in PvP. It's quite fun to watch a Dervish or Terratank - type elementalist throw up all their enchantments and have them all suddenly come tumbling down. And even more fun to immediately jump in with a spike. More for entertainment than anything else...

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=assassin/necromancer daggermaster=11+1+1 criticalstrikes=10+1 shadow=10][way of the lotus][gaze of contempt][shadow shroud][death's charge][golden phoenix strike][twisting fangs][black lotus strike][blades of steel][/build]

Equipment

 * Full Radiant Insignias, Minor Rune of Dagger Mastery, Minor Rune of Critical Strikes, Rune Of Vigor of whatever magnitude you have, and two Rune of Attunements
 * Your favorite daggers (the daggers don't really matter...+energy daggers if you find energy management to be a problem)

Usage

 * Pick your favorite arrogant enchantment spammer. Dervish or elementalist usually. Monks are fun also.
 * Make sure your target has over 50% health. Feel free to go after something at full. Can be even more entertaining, and that's what this is all about isn't it?
 * Cast Way of the Lotus outside of spell range, then quickly hit gww:Gaze of Contempt followed by gww:Shadow Shroud
 * Death's Charge to your target
 * Use your chain of attacks
 * By this time your target should be dead and you should have a full recharging skill bar. Attack regularly until everything recharges.

Variants

 * There isn't exactly a variant to this specific build. Any build utilizing enchant removal/ prevention and a follow up spike (see Archive:A/Mo SoS Assassin) is a variant really...

Counters
I've never much liked counters...Always like marble or polished wood...And i always seem to run into them, you know? Like you're walking through the kitchen, minding your own business, and BAM! Counter! In your way! I swear they're out to get m-oh that kind. Let's see...
 * If you aren't entertained by dervishes etc losing all their enchantments and dying...i'd say you've been countered.
