This is a build I invented along the way. It's my best build from the series I invented that use the warrior elite 'flourish'. I've only tested it with pvp-only skills, so it's probabely enhancable. The build as it is is mainly useful in AB. It's a decent build which is particularily fun.

*skills:
1.Golden Lotus Strike (dagger mastery)
2.Wild Strike (dagger mastery)
3.Horns of the Ox (dagger mastry)
4.Falling Spider (dagger mastery)
5.Twisting Fangs (critical strikes)
6.Critical Defenses (critical strikes)
7.Shadow Refuge (shadow arts)
8.Flourish (Elite, strength)

*atributes: I'll update this when I have a pc with GW installed on it in reach. Focus on critical strikes and dagger mastery. Shadow Refuge is merely a pathetic attempt to add some healing anyway. (go for 11-11-8 + runes or something? Dunno if that's possible, but just make sure your crit strikes and DM stay very high)

*useage:
A very simple build actually. The 5-hit combo with 2 dual attacks alrdy existed and is a very potent killer combo. The only 2 disadvantages are that it has high skill recharge times and if your target is close to his friends the combo ends after horns of the ox, not killing your target. I solved this problem with a single skill: flourish.

1st of all: start off with critical defences and use shadow refuge regularly. This will keep your energy up due to black lotus strike, and it will keep your health and defences up.

If you pick a slow / isolated target, you'll do the 5 hit combo(killing him in 80% of the cases). Now use flourish, and you will be able to attack a new target with renewed energy due to flourish and (mainly) black lotus strike. You should have your critical strikes as high as possible, making sure that you keep critical defenses active. (if it wears out: make sure to enchant yourself with shadow refuge). If your target is close to his allies, just use a 3-hit combo with twisting fangs as dual attack (heavy damage + deep wound); hit flourish, and commence the same 3-hit combo (the 2nd combo should be lethal in this case. If it isn't you can just spam the skills that recharge until flourish is recharged again).

Have fun and tell me what you think about it!

i would go with leaping mantis-junglestrike-crippling ox.
...as running foes can be very very annoying with 1 second cast skills... but this works too i guess.

You mean trampling ox, right Frizz? ;p
