I made this one up yesterday. I got the idea from the R/A characters that have killed me in PvP so many times. It focuses on degeneration, not so much straight damage. Because of this, you won't be able to kill a guy very easily by yourself, but with a full group, you'll be the backbone.
WEAPON:
Daggers; perferably with increased poison or bleed duration
SKILLS:
Apply Poison (preparation)
Enduring Toxin
Jagged Strike
Fox Fangs (to be replaced with Moebius Strike {E})
Twisting Fangs
Comfort Animal
Charm Animal
Whirling Defence
POINT ALLOCATION
This is up to you, but expertise is the key skill here. It lowers the energy needed to fire off these skills, and since you're not an assassin getting free energy from critical hits, you'll need it. I have it set to 8 with my head armor providing one more stacking point for expertise. Dagger Mastery should be at about 10. Beast Mastery and Deadly Arts should be similar, but see what works best for your skills: About 6 or 7.
STRATEGY
Enduring Toxin is the skill you can do without here, but it adds more degen and hexes your target. So basically, you go down the list. Apply poison, fire off enduring toxin, go in and hit with Jagged strike (bleeding), Fox Fangs, and Twisting Fangs (Bleeding again and deep wound.) By the time you've done one round of this they guy should be below 50% HP. Moebius strike would be good with this build because the skills used take a long time to recharge. The funny part is when you hit with twisting fangs: the guy should have about -9 or -10 degen by this point, so when deep wound comes in, his health bar will usually experience a sharp, unexpected decrease.
Altogether you have Poison (-4 degen), Eduring Toxin (Hex -3 degen) [this renews if they're moving when it ends], bleeding (-3 degen), and deep wound (sudden 20% drop in max HP.)
Remember you won't be doing a lot of straight damage here. You'll be lucky to hit upwards of 30dmg with the skills. However, the degen is a lot of damage and it will also allow you to run away while simultaneously inflicting hurt
The Beast skills are optional here, but I just like my pet ;D . You could drop beast mastery and apply it toward your more critical skills though.
Whirling Defence is my defence spell of choice because it activiates instantly and allows me to get away. It also works on expertise which is required for the build. on occation you'll get some damage when you're getting shot at.
