Another Knockdown Assassin 

Knockdown Assassins are quite common like the DB/MS Assassin.

I just wanna ask people if this build is nice or not. This build doesn't use the old Horns of the Ox/Tramplix Ox skills. Death Blossom spamming is fast and cheap to keep your enemies lying everytime literally making them unable to retaliate.

KNOCKDOWN ASSASSIN (A/Rt or A/-)
Skills:
01. Mark of Instability
02. Black Mantis Strike (Lead Attack)
03. Jungle Strike (Off-hand attack)
04. Death Blossom (Dual attack)
05. Moebius Strike (Elite Off-hand attack)
06. Siphon Speed (Hex Spell)
07. Critical Agility (Enchantment Spell)
08. Brutal Weapon (Weapon Spell)

Incline your build towards the Dagger Mastery and Critical Strike. Add a little on Deadly Arts and Communing (optional)

The idea is to make your enemy kiss the floor at almost every 4 seconds with the DB/MS spam while under Mark of Instability. Black Mantis and Jungle Strike works wonders as well. Siphon Speed can turn the tables too when you feel like pounding your opponent every now and then with Critical Agility making you 66%+ faster than your enemy.

08 can be replace with any skill of your choice like Apply Poison if you wanna be a Ranger.

Hope to hear from you guys to comment this build.

RE: Another Knockdown Assassin 

Would casting Brutal Weapon first before casting Critical Agility works?

RE: Another Knockdown Assassin 

Mark of Instability has a 20 second recharge and only activates on the "next" dual attack.

While true, it only works after dual attacks, that's where Death Blossom/Moebius Strike comes. Bypassing the need for a Lead attack and both skills are cheap, 5 energy to activate and 2 seconds recharge only like I said, knockdown applies at approximately 4 seconds. Zealous weapons works well here.

That said, your opponent could get pounded at approximately... 3-4 knockdowns during the duration of the MOI hex. And given that time, MOI had already recharged.

No, you dont understand. When you use a dual attack, it activates, then ends.

It does? hmmm... that's a fix... good thing I haven't tried this build yet. lol

Anyway, since this build relies on MOI, I believe this theoretical build is incorrect. I checked on MOI's descrption too and seems you are correct.

In any case. Thank you guys for your insights! Enjoy.

01. Mark of Instability
02. Black Mantis Strike (Lead Attack)
03. Jungle Strike (Off-hand attack)
04. Death Blossom (Dual attack)
05. Moebius Strike (Elite Off-hand attack)
06. Siphon Speed (Hex Spell)
07. Critical Agility (Enchantment Spell)
08. Brutal Weapon (Weapon Spell)

Might be good to change Brutal weapon to Horns of the ox. Then you have DB KDing them and then horns will do it too.

And yeah if mark of Instability activated for each dual attack then you would only see monks and mark of instability sins running around because that is completely overpowered. Mind as well say target foe can never get up again.
