A Crippling Shadow assassin uses skills that allow this well-known killer to move in, make the kill, and move on to the next unlucky victom in short period of time. Using some of the much needed "healing prayers" from the monk's side, this assassin can be a tricky devil to overcome... and maybe it's victim's last.

Usage

To make sure you hit hard use Way of Perfection. Death's Charge to nearest enemy, and cripple with Caltrops. Hit hard with Jagged Strike, knock him back down and poison him with Entangling Asp. Continue to use Jagged Strike, Fox Fangs, and Death Blossom until foe has been defeated. Use Orison of Healing if Hp gets low.

Counters

Since it lacks any serious damage dealing source, the conditions can simply be removed by a RC (restore conditions) protection monk in serious matches. Plague Signet or Plague Touch to transfer conditions to nearby foes.

Variants

Placing 9 points in Healing Prayers just for Orison of Healing seems to be a pretty poor choice, Live Vicariously or Healing Breeze are much better choices.
