Overview

This Sirin build focuses on pairing the extra Grace provided by the Sirin pact to increase damage and lean into the Assassin type of character, perfect for those looking to play a Rogue type. With Sirin's access to stealth using Glamour, this is currently the only option for anyone that wishes to try out a stealthy "class".

Virtues

Primary

Grace

Secondary

Courage

Put all your virtue points into Grace as you level up your envoy, since it’s your main damage stat which is further boosted by playing Sirin. You can also put up to 10 points into Courage if you want to try Courage weapons.

Skills

Sirin

Picktrix Powder: Use it to CC enemies, staggering them and doing a bit of damage, allowing you a much easier time killing the mobs once you've CC'd them. You can also use this to move behind the CC'd enemy and backstab them.

Trick of the Light: This skill creates a clone of yourself and places it anywhere you shoot the arrow, drawing enemy aggro by taunting them and allowing you to sneak up behind them to backstab and kill those distracted.

Glamour: The stealth option for a Sirin player, it turns you into a butterfly and acts as if you are invisible, allowing you to sneak up behind enemies and kill them quickly by backstabbing. This is particularly useful if you are trying to target-farm and want to Pickpocket certain mobs.

Equipment

Bascinet of Mendicant

Medicant King's Suit of Rancor

Bloody Sabatons

Rose's Bodkin

Primary Weapon

Sidearm

Dewelion

Verite

Skilter

Quicksilver

Joineries

Aim to get at least a Polished version of the Joinery if you can't get your hands on a Blessed by Saphene (that is the ideal). If you reforge your weapons, they will go back to level 1, so reforging is only worth it once you have some half decent Joineries to put into your weapons.

Pickpocket is an unique ability to use in order to help build up resources. Whenever you backstab an enemy and kill them, they have a very high chance of dropping a loot bag. Akin helps keep with ability cooldowns. And of course, Saphene's Gift is fantastic to increase Grace while Everbound gives good extra max HP.
