User:Godofdisillusion/My New Build

This build uses various attack skill combo's, low energy attacks to give incredible tanking ability with a reasonably high damage output.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Assassin/any dag=10+1+1 dea=9 sha=8 cri=10+1][Palm Strike][Critical Strike][Golden Phoenix Strike][Death Blossom][Impale][Deaths Charge][Way of Perfection][Shadow Refuge][/build]


 * Shadow Refuge can be replaced with Resurrection Signet if you are doing things such as Random Arena's where they are essential.

Equipment

 * Any armor, as long as you have full Nightstalker's Insignia and three Runes of Attunement, a rune of Major Dagger Mastery and the best vigor rune you can afford.


 * I find that Zealous daggers work best with this build, as they help greatly with energy management. However, you can use vampiric daggers if you want to, but I would advise against it.

Usage
Before the battle, use Way of Perfection, refreshing it whenever you can. Then, when you start attacking, use Palm Strike followed by Critical Strike, then Golden Phoenix Strike followed by Death Blossem and Impale. Then once you have finished the combo, keep up Way Of Perfection. Also as a finishing move, or if you are in a mob, you can use Impale also after Critical Strike if you find yourself an weak foe. If you find yourself targeted by physical attackers, use the combo Palm Strike, Death Blossom followed by Impale to spam highly dammage. Finally you can use Shadow Refuge as a self heal or to counter heavy degeneration.

Counters

 * Spells that ignore armor
 * Spells that deal damage if you attack, such as Insidious Parasite, Spiteful Spirit and Empathy

Variants

 * You can replace Shadow Refuge with a resurrection skill like Resurrection Signet if you are in things like Random Arena's.
