User:Silhouete/A/D Foxy Tank

This is a build created for all those that find themselves the first target in any given situation while playing as an Assassin. Pulling many defensive skills from the Dervish Earth Prayers and Wind Prayers attribute were able to create a "Tanking" Assassin.

 * Resurrection Signet can be used instead of Critical Eye, sacrificing a small amount of damage and energy management for extra support.

Equipment

 * Full Radiant insignias
 * Zealous Daggers of Enchanting with 15^50 or +15% damage while enchanted inscription
 * Daggers of the Hierophant are perfect.

Usage

 * Precast all your buffs (enchantments, stances, skills) before engaging (excluding Critical Defense and Whirling Charge).
 * Once engaged with your target use Whirling Charge to add extra unblockable damage faster or to help in a spike. Use it also when chasing down fleeing opponents.
 * Critical Defense should really be saved for those "critical moments". If you find there entire team has targeted you use it asap and when energy permits use Whirling Charge to help keep it active.
 * This build is a twisted form of surprise, rather than popping in randomly and attacking you will charge in aimlessly and hopefully waste all the enemies energy before they relize that your not dying. By that time your team is engaged, fully energized and ready to kill.

Counters

 * Blind
 * Dazed
 * Interrupts
 * Knockdowns
 * Energy Denial
 * Enchantment Removal
 * Standard anti-melee hexes
 * Health Degeneration exceeding 12 pips

Variants

 * Locust's Fury can replace Fox's Promise for a higher damage output.
 * Expose Defenses can replace Whirling Charge if you switched out Fox's Promise
 * Vital Boon and Signet of Pious Light/Pious Restoration can be used instead of Conviction and Dwayna's Touch making for a massive heal and/or hex remover.
