Equipment

• Any Armor with Radiant Insignias.
• Ebon Daggers of Fortitude. (Inscription:"I have the Power!")
• Zealous Daggers of Fortitude (Inscription:"I have the Power!"). This is as a back up weapon set, for when you need to build Energy. Keep in mind that you won't cause Blinding while equipped with this weapon.
• Bladed Mask.
• Superior Vigor Rune.
• Superior Dagger Rune.
• Minor Critical Strikes and Minor Shadow Arts.

Usage

• Start by casting Ebon Dust Aura and Unseen Fury.
• Pick your target; Monks and Ritualists have first priority as always, but if there are enemy Warriors, Rangers, Assassins, or Dervishes bugging your healers, don't hesitate to hit them with GPS to blind them.
• Be sure that you still have Ebon Dust Aura on, otherwise Golden Phoenix Strike won't hit.
• Don't worry at all about defensive stances. Unseen Fury takes care of those.

Counters

• All normal assassin counters except blocking and evading.
• Enemies clumping together prevent Horns of the Ox from giving knockdown.
• Enchantment Removal.
• Heavy Spike Damage.

Variants

• In AB, swap out Resurrection Signet for another defensive skill like Feigned Neutrality or Heart of Shadow.
• Replace Blades of Steel with a different Dual Attack.
