Skills Used

 * (Elite)

Evaluation

 * Viper's Defense can cause problems, as the random teleportation can sometimes attract larger groups of enemies.
 * Has pathing issues like the other melee henchmen.
 * Can be quite useful for Mesmers using Fragility due to the many conditions Panaku causes with his skills.
 * If you try to retreat from a dificult battle he will often stay focus on his target rather than folowing you, wich make him die often for nothing.

Dialogue
On Shing Jea Island:
 * "There is only one way that I know of to contain a plague. Quarantine those who are sick and kill them all. If only Master Togo would listen to me I'd be happy to do the dirty work for him. What do you want?"

In Kaineng City:
 * "I find I take little pleasure out of killing these creatures of the plague. They do not scream for help or even look surprised when my daggers slice them open. They come to me expecting death. It would seem they are more intelligent than some think.


 * What do you want?"

In the Jade Sea:
 * "Would you like some help stalking your prey, my friend? Just say the word; my daggers are always ready when there's important work to be done.


 * What do you want?"

Quotes

 * "If I don't kill something soon, there is going to be trouble."
 * "The life of an Assassin is one of isolation and loneliness. Don't let those other fools who speak of the job as necessary and part of the balance, people will hate you and fear you when they realize what you truely are." [SIC]

When idle in Kaineng City:
 * "I didn't come along to stand around, there is killing to be done."
 * "If we don't kill something soon, I may have to go find something to kill on my own."
 * "When you kill, looking into the eyes of those you finish. You will remember them forever."

Battle quotes:
 * "Come back, I want to watch you bleed!"
 * "Come closer, little lamb. The wolf is hungry."
 * "It's a rare opportunity to see an artist at work. Cherish it, while you can!"
 * "Let's open you up and see what makes you tick!"
 * "Ooh. That one gave me chills."
 * "Scream like you mean it!"
 * "This is my favorite part!"
 * "When you hear my footsteps, it's already too late."
 * "Why must they always die so quickly?"
 * "Your life is forfeit!"
