Assassin Skill Nomenclature

Equipment

 * Use any armor that maximizes energy.
 * Daggers with Vampiric and Enchanting upgrades are ideal for this build. Bring second set of daggers for times when you don't go into combat and don't want the health degen.

Usage
This build is extremely effective vs healing monks as any small heals (such as orison of healing) give very little health when hexed with Scourge healing. This build also has excellent conditions when facing any spellcaster. The double strikes from Locust's Fury make Vampiric daggers very useful while maximizing damage output.

Counters
Since this build has almost no healing and no condition removal, it relies heavily on either killing its' target quickly or a monk for healing bonuses. Blind and Crippled are very effective vs this build.

Variants
Scourge Healing can be switched out with any hex or even a defensive skill (such as shadow refuge). Black Mantis Thrust can also be switched with any lead attack. Black Lotus Strike is a good variant for energy management. The secondary profession can also be switched with any profession for different combos.
