Leaping Temple Blossom
This is a advanced condition shut down build, putting enormous pressure on any magic casters through Bleeding, Dazed and Blind (bleeding also) as a cover condition. Then if target begins to run this build can cripple them and do increased damage.

Attributes and Skills

 * Ressurect can be replaced with Dash or Heart of Shadow for catching up or for extra healing.

Equipment

 * Any, but +5 energy is a must so you can have a maximum of at least 30.
 * Silencing Daggers for the first round of attacks or any round that will use Temple Strike. Falaharn's Split Chakrams or Ravaging Daggers will do well.
 * Zealous Daggers for all other rounds of attack to keep energy up, these are not a must but are very helpful.Ceremonial Daggers,Split Chakrams of the Forgotten,Talons of the Forgotten,Ungues of the Forgotten will do well.

Usage
Run to your target (take monks, mesmers, necromancers, elementalists as your primary target[s]) and use Jagged Strike or Leaping Mantis Sting, Temple Strike, and Death Blossom. After that just use whatever skills you need to and use Temple Strike as often as it recharges.

Counters
Condition Removal/Prevention and blocking as well as all anti-mele are the main fears for this build. Avatar of Melandru completely shuts the build down, do not engage a dervish with this build.
