Assassin Endgame PvE Build

DPS

Use three skill and stigma presets for farming, solo bosses and your party role. All three share the same Daevanion boards.

Character

Each preset has the same full skill and stigma point totals, including extras. Daevanion boards are shared.

Reset Mastery and Stigma in the preset you are setting up, then follow its allocation below.

Enter extra points from items already used. The default includes the ascension Stigma Shard.

Changing these budgets redraws the reset plan. Gear and Arcana skill bonuses are not included.

Set Daevanion points in Boards and mastery and stigma points in Skills. Progress is recorded separately for each preset.

Use Savage Roar and Flash Slice across packs, then take area Whirlwind Slice openings. Keep your defensive stance ready while you build and spend Insignias.

Skills

Tick the skill levels, Specialties and equipped stigmas you have applied in this preset. Amber entries still need attention.

Progress starts from reset. Record the levels and picks you already applied before entering unassigned points. Learned levels exclude board and gear bonuses.

Skill points per preset: 203 Stigma points per preset: 30

Changes still to apply: 30

Tick the Specialties your character already has.

Stigma

  • Illusive Clone Acquire, then level 10

  • Triniel's Dagger Acquire, then level 5
  • Evasion Stance Acquire, then level 5

A stigma only counts once it sits on a quick slot.

Macro

Set the macro in the skill preset used by this build. Manual input takes priority over the macro.

Keep your generator on left mouse and hold it together with the macro key during combat. Leave the generator out of the macro steps.

Bind Macro to the free right mouse button under Settings > Key Settings > General > Macro, then hold both mouse buttons together. In AION 1 Control Mode, use a keyboard key for the macro.

Turn on Skill Queue under Settings > Combat > Controls: without it, the steps the macro presses while a skill is still casting are lost.

The macro keeps attempting subsequent steps. The game explicitly warns that step order is not guaranteed, so a macro is not a fixed rotation.

Heart Gore still needs critical-hit activation while Illusive Clone is active.

Automatic Ambush trades control over positioning and animation timing for fewer inputs.

How to play

Your everyday routine at this level.

  • Hold left mouse and the macro key together while you fight; use other skills when needed.
  • Press (key 1) right before a big hit.
