The Backbreaker Sin, as the name suggests, is an assassin build using the Warrior hammer attack 'Backbreaker' to cause a four second knock-down in which to unleash a powerful attack chain while targets are totally helpless.

• Res sig.
• Dash.

Equipment

• Basic armour - nothing special is needed.
• A Hammer, a Furious Spear of Fortitude and Shield of Fortitude, and a set of Vampiric Daggers of Fortitude.

Usage

• Build up adrenaline with your spear or daggers.
• When Backbreaker is charged, switch to your hammer, shadowstep to your target and use Backbreaker then Flail.
• Now you will quickly need to cancel attacking (either by moving a short distance away or with the assignedkey) and switch to your vampiric daggers. You have about one full second to do this in, but if you do it quickly you can get an auto-attack or two in before they stand up.
• Use the attack chain 2->3->4->5, then Dash to escape.

Counters

• Adrenaline denial.
• Blind, block.
