GVG Build - "Fear Me!" Spammer

[Hijo Jhinn]

This build is made for 2 purposes... Survival, and Fear Me Spamming. Keep that in mind when you read the build because I know that is has barely any damage, although it does spam Fear Me like no other.

Attributes: Runes were used, I just forget which ones...
Tactics 8
Dagger Mastery 12
Critical Strikes 10
Shadow Arts 10

Distracting Blow
"Fear Me"
Flurry
Leaping Mantis Sting/Siphon Speed (with SS put some points into Deadly Arts)
Shadow Refuge
Critical Defences/Shroud of Distress
Locusts Fury {e}
Res Sig

Simply cast LF on yourself, use Flurry, and spam away... You can use FM about every 1.5 seconds or so, resulting in some pretty steady energy denial. I thought up this build because although I don't GvG very often, it seems that GvG's usually last a long time. I figured with some steady energy denial the enemy would be pretty drained after a couple minutes and you could take em out.

Comments?

You don't have enough points in Critical Strikes. You're going to need a Superior, plus a mask. You seem to be relying on Critical Strikes, but you don't have any guaranteed critical strike skills, which could put you in some serious ****.

There's also the obvious susceptibility to Expose Defenses, Rigor Mortis, Way of the Fox, Warrior's Cunning, and whatever other hexes ignore blocking skills.

With some support, this build could definitely cause some misery to casters and any melee classes that use energy (Dervishes, other Assassins). You're right about not causing any damage on your own though; perhaps some backup from another class would imbue your auto-attacks with some extra weight.

a gvg build needs a team build to fit into. You'll have to give the builds of your whole team before I can really comment. Famine? Orders? etc.
