What u do is pick a target and use "For Great Justice" then Tiger Stance and start swinging away. Spam Sliverwing Slash and Standing Slash, then when Dragon Slash is ready to go you can use spam thoese 3 skills over and over. Use Final Thrust when target is almost dead and use Endure Pain and Healing Signet for healing.

Assassin/Warrior (PvP)

Shadow Prison Assassin
The Shadow Prison Sin is a fragile yet deadly assassin used to take down targets quickly while making use of Shadow Prison to snare the target long enough to unleash the builds vicious assault.

Has been tested and is good for - RA, TA, GVG, CM, AB, and HA

-Attributes
Dagger Mastery - 11+1+1
Critical Strikes - 12+1
Deadly Arts - 6+1

-Skills
Shadow Prison
Tiger Stance
Black Lotus Stance
Twisting Fangs
Black Spider Strike
Blades of Steel
Expose Defence
Resurrection Signet ( to fill 8th slot )

Build Template
[A/W Shadow Prison Assassin;OwFj0te2IP05x3CDhRm5fiMBA]

-Equipment
A Full Set of Radiant (insignia) armor
Vampiric Daggers (use Zealous Daggers if energy runs low, Ebon Daggers when fighting a warrior or not engaged in combat yet )

The spike is done quickly, in this order --- Shadow Prison -> Tiger Stance -> Black Lotus Strike -> Twisting Fangs -> Black Spider Strike -> Blades of Steel.
Use Expose Defenses if your target is protected by any skill (Aegis, Guardian, Weapon of Warding) that gives a chance to block attacks.

-Counters
* Standard Melee counters.
* Restore Condition will basically ruin a spike of this build, it'll remove all of the conditions you have put on the target and heal most of the damage dealt.
* Hex Breaker will cause problems; even though your initial 'Hex Jump' will succeed, the hex will not be applied, and thus the combo cannot start.

-Variants
* Horns of the Ox is a common variant that sacrifices damage for a knockdown, and can therefore replace Blades of Steel.
* Another Shadow Step or an additional healing/defensive skill (such as Feigned Neutrality) can replace the Resurrection Signet for Alliance Battles or Competitive missions.
* Siphon Speed can replace Expose Defenses as a backup hex to trigger the attack chain, and to quickly escape.
* Impale can be used in conjunction with different dual attacks (Horns of the Ox in Particular).
* Death Blossom can replace Blades of Steel.
* Assassin's Promise and Dark Prison can be used as a more PvE or AB/CM oriented version.

I got this from Pvxwiki.com

ok, to make this build effective u have to be in the zishen challange. than you have to pick the warriors to fight agianst in a cetain place. you have to pick the shiver peak arena.

You have to pick the shiverpeak because it has a river where you are slowed down..... start off by using flame attunment about 8 seconds before the fight. run to the river and use flame dinjies haste and right after activate shadow form use the glyph and now activate meeor shower and becaues of the frozen river they are slowed down and cant run away... after meteor shower use bed of coals and right after use lavafront...keep using flame dingi and lava front until the shadow form wears away...by this time the warriors are one the very frindge of death.. now after shadow form where away u will have very little health left.. u now have t activate fetid neality, it gives +9 health regen and +80 armor...DONT ATTACK OR NEALITY GOES AWAY.. since the attacks are still activated the warrios are takin damage and die and u live..

p.s. i got this build from another faction farmer and i i gave it up for the guild when she wanted it keept secert pleaz keep it a secret now.

if there are any questions on this build contact me on the game under any name which has silver in the game... silver quex silver earth dwarf silver minionmaster silver killer silver migh

here is a GvG/HA assassin build from PvXwiki

The Moebius Impaler is primarily a frontline GvG build (also usable in HA), combining fast attacks via Flurry with almost no loss in damage (most of which is armor-ignoring "bonus" damage, from Moebius and Death Blossom).

3Core
Skills Template

[edit] Equipment
A Full Set of armor with Radiant Insignias.
Zealous, Vampiric, and Ebon Daggers of Fortitude, all with Strength and Honor or Too Much Information inscriptions.
[edit] Usage
The spike is done quickly, in the following order:
(Expose Defenses ->) Shadow Prison -> Tiger Stance -> Black Lotus Strike -> Twisting Fangs -> Black Spider Strike -> Blades of Steel.
Execute the attack chain with Vampiric daggers.
Switch to Zealous daggers if energy runs low.
Use Ebon daggers when fighting a Warrior or when you are not engaged in combat.
Use Expose Defenses if your target is protected by any skill that gives a chance to block attacks (e.g., Aegis, Guardian, Weapon of Warding).
[edit] Counters
Standard Melee counters.
Restore Condition will ruin a spike of this build, as it will remove all of the conditions you have put on the target and heal most of the damage dealt.
Hex Breaker will cause problems; even though your initial 'Hex Jump' will succeed, the hex will not be applied, and thus the combo cannot start. Follow immediately with Expose Defenses if you see that Shadow Prison did not hex the target: you may be able to hex your foe before Hex Breaker is reactivated.
[edit] Variants
Flurry can be a replacement for Tiger's Stance as it does not take away added damage just base damage.
Flail is a common choice for IAS as well.
Horns of the Ox is a common variant that sacrifices damage for a knockdown, and can therefore replace Blades of Steel or Twisting Fangs.
An additional healing/defensive skill (such as Feigned Neutrality) can replace the Resurrection Signet for Alliance Battles or Competitive missions.
Siphon Speed can replace Expose Defenses as a backup hex to trigger the attack chain, and to quickly escape.
Impale can be used in conjunction with different dual attacks (Horns of the Ox in particular).
Assassin's Promise and Dark Prison can be used as a more PvE or AB/CM oriented version.
[edit] Significant Variants / Merged Builds
A visual reference of significant variants possible with the above suggestions.

he check this sin spiker build:

Deadly Arts 11 + 1 + 3
Critical Strikes 8
Shadow Arts 6 + 1

Siphon Strength

Siphon StrengthElite Hex Spell. For 20 seconds, target foe deals -50 damage with attacks and all of your attacks against that foe have an additional 33% chance of being a critical hit. (Attrib: 15 Deadly Arts)

5¼25Nightfall

58Factions
Shadow Walk

Shadow WalkStance. Shadow Step to target foe. For 30 seconds, you cannot cast Enchantments. When this Stance ends, you return to your original location.
530Nightfall
Skills Template

[edit] Equipment
Radiant Insignias to have enough energy for the combos
Sundering or vampiric daggers. Any max daggers will work, the more damage the better.
The best vigor rune available to offset the superior rune and increase overall survival.
[edit] Usage
Find target and use Shadow Walk to shadow step to target in preparation for spike.
Use Siphon Strength and follow up with Black Spider Strike.
Quickly follow up with Horns of the Ox, Impale, and Signet of Toxic Shock for a heavy spike.
Use Dash to end Shadow Walk and escape.
[edit] Notes
The damage output from this combination is approximately 300 within 2-3 seconds not including critical hits, deep wound,and Poison. The net chance of a critical hit is around 59%. The Damage from Signet of Toxic Shock is armor ignoring damage.
The 30 second enchantment blackout on Shadow Walk will prevent using Feigned Neutrality to heal. An alternative is to use another shadow step/escape combo but this is the easiest and requires the least amount of direct targeting.
If you are not using one of the Elite Skill variants Siphon Strength will cause your target to deal significantly less damage from attacks. This makes it ideal against other damage dealers. This can be an extremely effective and deadly counter to other assassins.
[edit] Counters
Standard Melee counters (Blind, Blurred Vision, etc etc)
Prot spells (Guardian, Weapon of Warding etc) used on your target can disrupt the attack chain, curtailing your damage.
Hex removal.
[edit] Variants
For the Random or Team Arenas, replace Feigned Neutrality with Resurrection Signet.
Replace Feigned Neutrality or Dash with Way of the Fox to counter block skills.
Replace Feigned Neutrality or Dash with Signet of Malice to counter blinding skills.
Replace Dash with Deadly Paradox. It can be used as an escape stance still but leaves you without a speed boosting skill. On the other hand it allows for faster recharge and activation of Signet of Toxic Shock and Impale, and if used before the signet allows for a faster overall spike (lowers activation of sig from 1 to 1/2). The 10 second disable would not affect you much as your 2 attack skills would likely still have about that long to recharge.
You can replace Shadow Walk with Shadow of Haste. You lose a shadow step for initiating the combo, but Shadow of haste synergizes better with dash for avoiding combat and confusing opponents.
Replace Dash with Shadow of Haste. This gives you a less spammable run skill, but allows for a very confusing series of shadow steps if Shadow Walk recharges before Shadow of Haste is needed. To maximize this effect replace Feigned Neutrality instead, keeping Dash, Shadow of Haste, and Shadow Walk.
[edit] Elite Skill Variants
The elite in this build is highly flexible. This allows for a notable change in the feel of the build. Siphon Strength was chosen for its versatility, but several others work well. The only requirement is the skill be replaced with a hex. A few good examples of this are listed below.

Shadow Prison can be used to provide a solid speed decrease on the target at the expense of spamability. Also the build loses some versatility with this and loses the effective quick escapes it has.
Hidden Caltrops adds a bit of damage, and is moderately spammable. At 8 seconds recharge it is not very prone to loss of effectiveness from hex removal. The skill also cripples the target making them much easier to kill. It's real weakness comes from your own teamates who may trigger it, and therefore cancel it, before Black Spider Strike hits, disrupting your combo.
Seeping Wound is also a good choice for an elite. By using it as your hex, you can force your opponet to have a lot more degen, from -3 to -4. You may need to tweak your attributes for this to work to its full potential, however, and if your opponet is able to remove the poison and bleeding that you place on them then this will do nothing until one is put back on.
