Ass/Combat Builds

The of this build point here is damage from crits.

Malice + Dagger spec equals 10% more across the board. Imp Backstab equals 30% more when backstabbing. Remorseless fit the theme for 40% more crits after a kill, not to mention getting to Seal Fate. Lethality increase crit damage. Cold Blood guarantees a crit.

Imp Slice'N'Dice and Im SS both lead to more attacks faster for more crit opportunities. Precision helps all of these attacks to land to have a chance to crit.

Seal Fate turns all of the crits from combo point generating abilities into extra Combo points. Imp Evis turns those combo points into extra damage.

Ruthlessness and Relentless Strike are in there to get to Seal Fate. But they will also help to keep building the combo points for chains of finishing moves.

Assassination Talents (31 points) Malice - 5/5 points Improved Eviscerate - 3/3 points Remorseless Attacks - 5/5 points Ruthlessness - 3/3 points Improved Slice and Dice - 3/3 points Lethality - 5/5 points Relentless Strikes - 1/1 point Cold Blood - 1/1 point Seal Fate - 5/5 points

Combat Talents (20 points) Improved Sinister Strike - 2/2 points Lightning Reflexes - 2/5 points Improved Gouge - 3/3 points Improved Backstab - 3/3 points Precision - 5/5 points Dagger Specialization - 5/5 points

Subtlety Talents (0 points) None

Lightning Reflexes is purely to get up the tree. These points could just as easily go into Deflection or any other talent. Improved gouge helps set up solo backstabs.

The only thing really missing in this build is the basics in Subtlety: MoD, Opportunity, Imp Ambush. These three Talents are traded off for: Lightning Reflexes (2/5), Precision, Dagger Specialization.
