this build owns the w/any, but i bet it won't get voted as good. - Skakid9090 15:57, 4 July 2007 (CEST)
- Wow! This is pretty good! I used Critical Eye for the optional and never had a problem with energy. Fast and easy. Sorsscriba 22:39, 4 July 2007 (CEST)
I've been using this build for a while already, it does work better than most things I've tried in a similar vein. 65.95.56.121 22:54, 6 July 2007 (CEST)
Nice Build :) With this one i can solo farm the trolls outside drognar's forge! ;)--Ishtar Darkraven 19:47, 8 July 2007 (CEST)
For a Factions-only variant (well, obviously you'd need Prophecies too), wouldn't points in Healing Prayers work as well? Skills like Healing Breeze, Mending, Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously, and Watchful Healing all give health regeneration. In addition, Dash/Dark Escape could be used in place of Pious Haste. It wouldn't be as energy efficient, one must admit, but it COULD work.
Hot damn does this work - im interested in other things it is possible to fight - i see about the trolls, i gotta run there tho but is there anything else? --Xistded One 06:32, 9 July 2007 (CEST)
guys express your love for the build on the rating page =). and yes, LV/VS works great in this build as well. feel free to test out new stuff, post it here if you think it's good. - Skakid9090 06:39, 9 July 2007 (CEST)
Yeah, I just tried. Vigorous Spirit seems to be all you need, though it's wise to bring Healing Breeze as well.
For better energy management, use Critical Eye in place of Critical Agility. You won't need to use Critical Strike as often because you'll hit criticals to renew Critical Defense and recover some energy.
fixed the Live Vicariously icon to 8 healing prayers instead of 0.--Ishtar Darkraven 11:35, 10 July 2007 (CEST)
Posted back in march, basically the LV/VS version (a few attribute differences and such): http://www.pvxwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Build:A/Mo_Vigorous_Assassin&oldid=124728, people reacted very negatively to it though. Drtstudios 22:06, 10 July 2007 (CEST)
Why are the attributes distributed 10 daggers, 12 crits, with a sup rune in daggers and a minor one in crits, when you could go 11 in both with major runes, save 4 attribute points, 5 health, and some gold to boot? --GHP 21:59, 12 July 2007 (CEST)
Remind me why you would want to farm elementals in the first place? -- Armond Warblade

- in hard mode, EVERYTHING gives decent drops, and they're fairly easy to kill.--Reason.decrystallized 17:04, 28 July 2007 (CEST)
D/A's
I'm wondering for those who have dervishes out there, would it be possible to rebuild this for a D/A instead of an A/D? With Crit Defenses/Crit Strike being replaced by another defensive skill and Dual Attack, respectively? I dont really have any ideas for skills, but I was just wondering...
- If you wanna farm with D/any... i guess vow of strength+mirage cloak+mystic regen with 12+1 earth and 12+1+3 scythe should go pretty fast. aura of holy might would speed things up a lot too - Skakid9090 04:37, 11 July 2007 (CEST)
Jade Brotherhood
The build also farms the jade brotherhood in the north of Wajjun Bazaar quite well (everything but Shen is easy enough, and Shen is doable), which is what I had been farming before the idea of hard mode elementals was brought to my mind, here. The trick to jade brotherhood farming is to go for the ritualists first. The mages never use their Dragon's Stomp on a single target. 65.92.146.249 06:28, 13 July 2007 (CEST)
- Oh ya, speccing 6 or so ranks into wind prayers and using Dwayna's Touch helps with the brotherhood. The mesmers can sometimes interrupt it, but it still helps. 65.92.146.249 06:40, 13 July 2007 (CEST)
im very surprised noone has added a vid for this so i made one and am putting it on the page.... if u wanna c just click the link.Mizzouman2002 07:17, 28 July 2007 (CEST)
shiro
i also made a vid of me using this build to solo shiro on hard mode. i added that also. hope u enjoy.Mizzouman2002 19:39, 28 July 2007 (CEST)
other farm spots, and suggestion
if you change around attributes + skill to something like this: <pvxbig> [build prof=assassi/dervish dagger=10+2 critical=10+1+2 earthpr=8 shadow_arts=8+1][golden phoenix strike][Critical Strike][Moebius Strike][Death Blossom][Critical Defenses][Critical Agility][Mystic Regeneration][Way of Perfection][/build] </pvxbig> it gives you more healing without sacrificing much in the way of damage. using this, i've been able to successfully farm the insects outside of Yohlon (in hard mode)--your damage can just barely outpace the healers, so long as you don't aggro more than one group at a time. i'd imagine it can handle many other places, as well.--Reason.decrystallized 11:32, 29 July 2007 (CEST)
hard mode farmable areas
so, i'm just going to make a list of farmable spots, using above configuration. if anyone knows more, plz add them as well.--Reason.decrystallized 11:49, 29 July 2007 (CEST)
- Jishol Darksong's mob outside of Honur Hill: the boss's healing is a pain in the ass, but beatable.
- insects and primates outside of Yohlon: be sure not to over-aggro insects.
- insects and corsairs in Zehlon reach (corsairs drop colossal scimitars): individual plants can be handled, but groups are generally fatal. Scale Blighters and Frigid scales can also be problematic, as the frigid scales snare and prevent you reaching them before buffs expire, and the blighters use grenth's balance and other armor-ignoring skills.
Add General PvE tag?
I use this build all the time in PvE and I'm pretty sure other people do too. I know it's mentioned in there, but it really is a great general build. Ghellam 21:07, 1 August 2007 (CEST)
Editing attributes
Changing attributes to 11+2+1 Dagger Mastery, 11+2 Critical Strikes, and 8 Earth Prayers since that set up does the same thing and saves 5 hp.--Sirron Eblibs 21:36, 3 August 2007 (CEST)
