Rotation and Use:
You will want to approach your enemies from stealth. Vampire stage 4 sprinting will help you go into stealth, make sure you press crouch when you come to a stop to remain in stealth (this requires some practice to get timing down). Use
Shadowy Disguise: Use before your opener, use before you cast Incapacitation strike, use before you case Merciless Resolve
Surprise Attack: This is your spamable, make sure you attack from behind to CC your target
Merciless Resolve: Cast this skill to start stacking light and or heavy attacks to 5 stacks. Upon getting 5 stacks the skill will turn into a bow skill called Assassins will that will fire an arrow dealing MASSIVE damage on next use. Make sure you use Shadowy Disguise before hand to ensure a crit. Also make note, this skill will do more damage if you are OUTSIDE mele range. Most times your damage will be so high it wont matter, however keep this in mind when fighting skilled PVPERS.
Shadow Image: This is a tough skill to master but once you do it can make you VERY hard to kill. You will place this down as your get away "spot". If you are fighting in a place that has stairs place it on the first floor and kite your targets to the 2nd floor, once you are getting pressured hit the skill again to return to your shadow image on the 1st floor. Place this skill behind line of sight, get creative stay alive!
