I've been using this build with Fox's Promise as my elite. --User:Thc 08:06, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
- This should deal more damage than MS>DB even without buffs, and if you add SoH it should be like twice the DPS of MS>DB. Also, Magehunters should be good for the extra .5s attack for faster attack speed if you don't need Fox's Promise or Flashing Blades.. -- Jaiwritesalot . . . 14:18, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Without buffs MS/DB does more damage than this, not by much but it does more. Because of the 3 second recharge of Fox Fangs this deals less AoE aswell. Not sure about Magehunters, I'd probably take something more useful to be honest. Devika 17:49, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
- So barely less DPS for retarded synergy with buffs and SY. Everyone brings Barbs, which is more than enough to push it past MS>DB's DPS. I mentioned Magehunter just because Thc tried to get it out of optionals. -- Jaiwritesalot . . . 18:52, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

- jagged is fine if you have buffs--Relyk 02:53, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
- Jagged is just the equivalent of an auto attack that inflicts bleeding tbh. What you are essentially doing is spamming Fox Fangs and Death Blossom bonus damage in an equivalent way to spamming MS/DB, but the damage is marginally less than MS/DB over time because Fox Fangs has a longer recharge time. I actually tested this on MoD and MS/DB (no buffs just straight attacks as both can take buffs anyway) squeezed past this. Again that doesn't make this bad though, the strength this has is it does comparable damage with a free elite, though you lose potential AoE. If your party knows how to ball up foes you're probably better off with MS/DB (GPS>DB>MS>DB etc), if not, or you need a specific elite for some purpose then take this. I'd actually suggest making this A/any and make the secondary free allowing more elite choice freedom for greater versatility. Especially if you have an Imbagon in your party and don't need Save Yourselves. Devika 03:22, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Actually in theory this only deals 5 DPS less than DB/MS (not a whole lot). This is according to the Master of Damage though. It does have the advantage that it frees up your elite slot. Rada Arashi

Also, this actually attacks even faster than LF, and about 80% faster than MS>DB. That means that every buff you put on this will be 80% more effective than if put on MS>DB. That's HUGE, considering 80% of SoH is 19.2 (or an extra 19.2 DPS that MS>DB wouldn't get). In fact, with SoH alone and considering AScan, you're adding ~78 DPS to this build..

Variation?
Could one possibly:
- Change the lead to [gw:Golden Fox Strike|Golden Fox Strike] for extra damage(And unblockable)
- POSSIBLY Change the off to [gw:Wild Strike|Wild Strike] for another unblockable and stance removal.
- Add [Palm Strike|Palm Strike] to help somewhat nullify interrupts, keep an almost constant cycle (It works. Even with 33% IAS, tested it), spam DB maybe even a little more, and to deal armor ignoring damage
For a possible variation?

I'm rather noob at making builds but I thought this would do better damage. 58.175.213.47 09:17, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
- The 1/2 activation attacks result in more attacks per second. This is especially significant with buffs like SoH and Barbs, and building adrenaline for SY. Golden Fox and Wild also have longer recharges than Jagged and Fox Fangs. If you aren't using Jagged→Fox Fangs→DB you should probably use MS/DB. ToraenTheJanitor 21:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Vow of Strength, Unsuspecting Strike
We'll assume max Asura and Ebon Vanguard ranks. To start things off, the current bar should do 58+75+75= 208 armor-ignoring damage, with EBSoH, 84+101+101 or 84+102+102= 286-288 armor-ignoring damage. The best possible chain you can get is Jagged->Fox->DB->Auto-attack->Jagged->Auto-attack, which takes 3.6783 seconds (your chain would normally be 3.33 seconds (recharge and activation time of Fox Fangs, but you'll interrupt an auto-attack). So, (58+75+75)/3.6783=57 DPS. With EBSoH, that's (26+84+101+101+26+26+26)/3.6783 or (26+84+102+102+26/0.6+26+26/0.6)/3.6783=115-116 DPS.
Note: /0.6 is for Double Strikes (2 X 0.3).
<pvxbig> [build prof=A/D CriticalStrikes=11+2 DaggerMastery=11+1+1 EarthPrayers=8][Asuran Scan][Unsuspecting Strike][Fox Fangs][Death Blossom][Vow of Strength][Optional][Critical Eye][Critical Agility][/build]

- [[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor]
</pvxbig>
It forces you to play a team with few to no conditions, but may be worth it for the huge domoges. With "BUH!", one chain should do 595-599 in 2 seconds (271+90+117+117 or 271+90+119+119) armor-ignoring damage with max Asura, and depending how rounding works. Unsuspecting on its own does almost half of the total damage (so it should definitely at least be in the variants). The build's probably a little hard on the Energy, though, and EBSoH would be even worse, but EBSoH would net you 614 armor-ignoring damage (250+106+129+129) in 2 seconds and, of course, benefits the rest of your allies. However, you can't really look at DPS with this build, because after one use of your chain, Unsuspecting Strike becomes ineffective against a target below 90% Health, so, if you can't kill your target with one chain, your 271 or 250 damage lead becomes 82 or 99, losing 189 or 151 damage.
When solo, this may be the best, again, if Energy is possible (I haven't played GW in months, and I don't really intend to start):

That's 194+84+101+101 or 194+84+102+102 = 480-482 armor-ignoring damage in 2 seconds. Again, DPS drops the second time around on the same target because of Unsuspecting Strike, and you probably wouldn't be able to handle going through your whole chain twice. Normally, I would put "SY!" in that optional, but you may never be able to charge it, because monsters will drop too quickly and you'll spend a lot of time running. Golden Lotus Strike or Black Lotus Strike could be used to manage Energy.
I think it's actually better not to use an Elite than choose from a bunch of shitty ones. Flashing Blades: blocking is overrated; Fox's Promise: only useful sometimes; Seeping Wound: no; Shattering Assault: same as Fox's; WotA: Dagger crits are poo.
Also, Demonic Flesh will probably never be worth it. The most you can get out of it is 13 or 14 AoE DPS (3 attack skills, one with a 3 second recharge+0.33 activation, so 15 X 3/3.33=13.5). ــѕт.мıкε 17:23, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

- I agree, it's a flat 25% increase in dps while it's up, and affects weapon/crit damage, attack skill damage, and the damage of buffs others put on you like SoH. Sure it's not as hax as asuran scan but it's still good. Necromas 18:33, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

- I used my normal Assassin PvE build, with Norn Rank 7, Delver rank 5 and I've just noticed I was using +5e daggers which weren't customised, will probably repeat the test to prove BuH's superiority... but anyway:

- Results:
- BuH: 1] 17,582 over 180 = 97 DPS --- 2] 17,126 over 180 = 95 DPS Ave = 96 DPS.
- Iats: 1] 17,405 over 180 = 96 DPS --- 2] 17,308 over 180 = 96 DPS Ave = 96 DPS.
- I think this shows that BuH SHOULD be in variants. Considering also that there was nothing around to extend the BuH duration.Roarer 20:30, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

- You could argue that iats is more effective because it's time isn't wasted by running after enemies. Anyways, should probably be in variants, but it's by no means the best option. Life Guardian 20:44, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Possibly. But chances are if you're playing with minions and/or spirits you'll be able to upkeep BuH more than the standard time. Also, shadowstep can be used to fix that problem if you wish to take one. I just wanted to do this to prove to people why I put it in variants, and also to show that it shouldn't have been removed.Roarer 20:49, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
- there's better skills you can bring than buh--Relyk talk 00:19, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
- if you got spirits ect around then you can often easily cause BuH's duration to outlast its recharge. a flat 25% boost is nice...BUT, its fighting for a slot with crit agility, asuran scan and SY, thats why its a bitch to fit into a bar. >>Jayson<<< 02:27, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Unless you've got an Imbagon or someone else maintaining "SY!" with you, it's not worth it. It will affect the AoE from DB, but a scythe would benefit a lot more from "BUH!", and you can only use DB as often as you use Fox Fangs: once every 3.333...3 seconds. ــѕт.мıкε 11:19, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
- People are telling me that "By Ural's is not the best option." or "There's better skills to take than BuH" Well that may be the case, but it is also the case for all variants in any build: Depending on the situation and/or team you're with, different PvE skills give different results. I'm not saying its the best. I'm saying that it deserves to be in variants. Also, the critical agility point again is dependant on your team, as I usually play with ER protters EoCs are used and WoTA gets you up to 33%. Which allows you to take 2 PvE skills to boost damage if you're spamming SY!Roarer 12:35, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Locust"s Fury
I tried this build with Locust's fury and "SY!" as optional skills. With the IAS from Critical Agility and the double strikes from Locust's it's possible to use "SY!" more frequently, thus protecting your party more with +100 AL. Turned out great for me at least. --81.246.186.34 19:32, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
- you should be spamming the shit out of your attack chain, not auto attacking...Lf is bad. DOESNT affect attack skills..:::Jayson::: 20:00, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
- You still have 2 auto-attacks per chain (Jagged->Fox Fangs->Death Blossom->Jagged->Auto-attack->Auto-attack->restart); with Locust's Fury, each auto-attack will have an 80% chance to double strike, netting 0.5 more attacks (1.8-1.3=0.5) than without Locust's Fury per auto-attack, so one more attack than usual per cycle (8.6 total, on average), which takes 3.66666 seconds: 2.345454 attacks per second, where your usual is 2.07272 attacks per second. The difference isn't huge but still noticeable. ــѕт.мıкε 20:23, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
- thats true but 1 extra attack per 4 seconds if it procs in optimal conditions without lag hitting skills on perfect timing, still isnt worth taking and wont make a shit of difference in keeping sy up, especially when your target should be dead after 1 chain anyway, then you change target, rinse repeat if there are any to kill, the time to change target negates the need to auto attack unless the player/team blows balls and cant buff/kill worth shit, and if your target has a lot of hp, then mb gives better outputs for continuous mb>db>mb>db. Really just doesnt cut it as an elite worth takin for this when you use it :( from exp :::Jayson::: 22:02, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, locust's Fury is crap. Overkill in the sense that you need either extra energy to spam and extra adrenaline to spam SY. It will be active very rarely, and if you try to milk it you lose extra single-target DPS from attack skills and AoE damage from Death Blossom. Pointless skill is pointless; there is a thread about it's pointlessness on Guru in the Campfire->Assassin forum.MinionExcluded 21:51, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
