The Expertise Assassin reduces the high cost of Assassin skills to produce a repeatable spike attack. Though fragile the Expertise Assassin can quickly dispatch opponents.

Usage

 * Before attacking, use Shroud of Distress, this will provide energy gain from Golden Lotus Strike.
 * Use the attacks in order, if the target falls below 50% health before Moebius strike hits, the attack chain will be recharged.
 * Use Lightning Reflexes as a defensive skill rather than IAS. Although if unthreatened use it to increase spiking speed.
 * Attack lone targets to take advantage of Horns of the Ox and Falling Spider, if your initial target is not alone, change target.

Counters

 * Blind, Miss, Distraction and Knockdown and Group attacks will prevent you from executing your attack chain properly.
