Equipment

• Zealous and Vampiric Daggers of Fortitude are recomended.

Usage

• If your target is enchanted, use Shattering Assault. Otherwise use Twisting Fangs.
• Follow up with Black Lotus Strike to regain energy.
• Use Mending Touch to rid yourself of conditions.
• Cast Feigned Neutrality to keep yourself alive.

Counters

• Hex removal can be troublesome, but Siphon Speed can be recasted quickly
• Anti-melee skills and on-hit hexes, Spiteful Spirit, blind, etc
• Block/Evasion, although with Shattering Assault you have 2 chances to remove an block/evasion enchantment such as Guardian
• Interruption

Variants

• Assault Enchantments can be used instead of Shattering Assault, but doesn't do extra damage and has a longer recharge
• Mending Touch can be replaced with whatever you want, an IAS such as Burst of Aggression, a Shadow step, etc.
• This allows for variations into other secondary professions
• Replace Siphon Speed, with a different hex. Keep in mind, you'll lose a snare and a speed boost with a quick recharge
• Drop points from critical strikes, and put into deadly arts for a longer lasting Siphon Speed

Notes

• This build is excellent against Dervishes and any other enchantment-heavy builds.
