User:Hadz/Sai Jen Li

Sai Jen Li
My first Canthan character and, unusually for me, I played right through the Canthan campaign without "skipping around" from character to character. Sai Jen Li was extremely resiliant (with a build I developed early on) and while other Assassins were seemingly giving the proffession a bad name she glided through and finished off the big bad end-villain with barely a hiccup. (In fact in the last mission, the rest of the team died while Sai had been sent to the "nether" and Sai bravely ran the gauntlet back, rezzed a team-mate, finished off one of the bosses, rezzed another team member and generally rescued the entire situation, allowing the villain to get his comeuppance)

Since the decline in Assassin popularity Sai has been relegated to "going it alone" and thus has experienced a few more deaths than she was previously used to, thank goodness the gods of Cantha are kind and back her up with the rez shrines.

Currently Sai is to be found (in Cantha) generally looking for a group, and proceeding to prove that Assassin aren't all bad.

Experiment With Build

Cast Assassin's Promise near the end of foe's life. May come earlier/later in the order than Asp or Daggers. May dump Phantom Pain for Capture Sig.

Builds to Try
Quick Killing Assassin

Seems OK so far...it's fine against enemies that go "down" quick, but if they don't you're left with no big dmg skill (ie. normal attacks) for 25 seconds while Black Lotus recharges. Mind you they are bleeding and have a deep wound, so it doesn't take too long I suppose.
