This build takes advantage of Judge's Insight combined with Locust's Fury to deal a myriad of holy damage strikes while waiting for the opportune time to unleash a devastating combo on an unlucky target.

A Locust's Scourge assassin takes advantage of the assassin's melee ability and the monk's smiting prayers to effectively damage and condition while using a target to damage monks without taking them head-on. Locust's Fury maximizes damage while Scourge Healing deters monks and ritualists from healing. Very useful in a party(HA or GvG or even AB).

Notes

It should be noted that Locust's Fury will have no effect while using attack skills as you can't Double strike while using skills. Therefore it will only be helpful while you are just attacking normally.
