Build Description

This build contains one or more skills that have been changed because of skill updates. This may cause an increase or decrease in the build's performance, so check the skill descriptions carefully. If this is your build, editing it will remove this message.

  • Apply Mark of Instability to your chosen target.
  • Apply Assassin's Promise. Alternatively, you may choose to apply it later since its activation time is low.
  • Hit the target with the attack skills on your bar from left to right - start with Black Lotus Strike, then apply Twisting Fangs, which will knock your target down, and immediately follow with Falling Spider.
  • Between the 7 degen of Bleeding and Poison and the Deep Wound applied by Twisting Fangs, it is highly likely your foe will die under Assassin's Promise.
  • Your entire skillbar is now ready for use once more. Select another target and repeat as above.
  • If you fail to kill the target under Assassin's Promise, you will have to wait out its recharge. In the interim, use Mark of Instability and your attack skill chain to keep damage up against foes.

At any time, feel free to apply Assassin's Promise to any foes on the verge of death, since you get an Energy boost when they die. You may find it helps to attack your party's called target since the likelihood of the target dying while under Assassin's Promise is increased.
