A very nasty Assassin A/W Frenzy Sin
Frenzy Sin
The Frenzy Sin is designed to dish out enormous amounts of damage and degen over a very short period of time, typically doing enough damage to kill an unhealed target before completing the attack chain, and a healed character not long after.
It is not designed for use without support from a good monk, as it is easily countered by typical melee counters, and has no inherent protection or survivability.
Frenzy can be switched out for Flurry, but it is not recommended to preserve the damage output. Siphon Speed can be switched out for Expose Defenses to avoid some of the typical melee counters, but it's much shorter duration may make energy management a concern.
The order of use of the skills is fairly straight-forward. First, hex your target with Siphon Speed, then activate Frenzy, hit them with Black Lotus Strike, knock them down with Horns of the Ox, poison them with Falling Spider and apply a deep wound and bleeding with Twisting Fangs. Use Flourish to recharge your attacks, and select your next victim.
In a non-Rez Sig enviroment (Aspenwood, AvA etc...) I would recommend bringing both Hexes for use as the situation merits.
Use Vampiric Daggers with this build for additional dmage and a smidgeon of self-heal. You'd be amazed at what a difference -3 health can make when you take into account the additional attack speed of Frenzy coupled with the double-strike capability of the 'sin.
