Variants

Note

Equipment[]

Weapons

  • Zealous daggers of defense with "Strength and Honor!".
  • Shield set.
  • Any flat or longbow.

Armour

Usage[]

  • Shadow step to your target with Shadow Theft.
  • Maintain the buffed Critical Eye.
  • Use the dagger attack chain Jagged StrikeFox FangsDeath Blossom↺ on recharge.

Counters[]

  • Standard anti-physical.
  • Standard anti-melee.

Notes[]

  • Compared to a WotA Dagger Spammer, this variant provides increased damage output and speed due to a shadowstep. However, it has fewer open PvE-only skill slots for utility skills such as Asuran Scan, "I Am Unstoppable!", and "Save Yourselves!".
  • Under the effect of Shadow Theft you'll gain 4 instead of 3 energy per critical hit. The break point for the additional energy gain is at 18 critical strikes.
  • Consider playing a normal Assassin if you have an anniversary heroic refrain paragon in your team.
