Equipment

  • Armor
    • Nightstalker's Armor for the additional armor while attacking
  • Weapons
    • Perfect vampiric daggers for added damage. eg. Urkal's Kamas or Chkkr's Pincers
       

Usage

  • Choose your target and move into melee range.
  • The attack chain is Jagged Strike, Wild Strike, Death Blossom, Impale, Jagged Strike, Wild Strike, Death Blossom...
  • Due to the fast recharge of the attack skills you should be able to cycle through the chain over and over.
  • After hitting with Wild Strike, use Blinding Powder.
  • Just before the target dies, use Assassin's Promise on them. Blinding Powder will recharge and you will be able to continue spreading blindness.
  • Use Death's Charge to move to the next foe.
  • Maintain your health with Shadow Refuge while fighting.
     

Counters

  • Blindness
  • Blocking stances are a challenge.
  • Hex removal can strip Assassin's Promise before the target dies and you get stuck with a recharging skill bar.
  • Plague Touch can be tough as when fighting groups of necromancers. They'll all blind you in turn, using the blindness you put on them.
     

Variants

  • To handle blocking stances, use Unseen Fury instead of Death's Charge. If Blindness is a problem, use Plague Touch instead.
  • Also, to increase your ability to use your attacks repeatedly, try using zealous daggers.
