Signet of Deadly Corruption can be used for additional damage.

Notes[]

When you engage into battle with big groups (both allies and enemies), you can use Assassin's Promise very well. With a little monk support (if under pressure), you can take out targets in no time.
Also watch out that you will kill the target before the hex ends, otherwise you'll have a downtime on the usage.
