Click the above link to see an updated version of this build. Please note this build varies and for the most part is dependent on ones opinion. There is no specific way to create this build. This is merely an example of what it could look like.

Introduction
Most guides for the TR are for PvP. Many people believe that the TR was created solely for PvP, but I believe that it can be a devastating force in PvE if played correctly. With the right encounters and buffs, not only can you be a successful support role, keeping the enemy slowed and stunned, but you can also do massive amounts of DPS

Race Selection
1. Dragonborn: +2 DEX / +2 STR — 4 points in DEX, 4 points in STR for 24 STR – 24 DEX – 14 CHA.

2. Half-Orc: +2 DEX / +2 STR — 4 points in DEX, 2 points in STR, 2 points in CHA for 24 STR – 24 DEX – 14 CHA.

3. Human: +2 STR — 4 points in DEX, 4 points in STR for 24 STR – 22 DEX – 14 CHA.

Starting Roll: Pick the 16 DEX – 16 STR – 11 CHA (Racial bonuses not included).

Paragon Path : Whisperknife or Master Infiltrator
I don't believe that it matters too much, which paragon path is chosen. It's more of a personal preference to be honest. Most of the powers that I use are able to be used by both classes. The only one right now that it not able to be used by both is Invisible Infiltrator. So for that I have chosen Master Infiltrator as my Paragon Path.

Skill Rotation
At-Wills: ,

Encounters:, ,

Class Features: ,

Dailies: ,

Note: Lashing Blade can be swaped for Blade Flurry in an AOE environment, but I prefer lashing blade because most of trash mobs are eliminated fairly quickly and LB is very nice for a single target.

Feats
Feat tree is straight Executioner. I did not put any points into Devastating Shroud or Twisted Grin. The reason for not putting into Twisted grin is due to fact it only procs once every 10 seconds and can only get +25% more damage at most. I would rather take a constant +25% below 40% HP and 30% HP. Sometimes there isn't enemies dying around you in boss fight for Twisted Grin to proc on, but you can allways count on the contant +50% damage below 30%.



Boons
Campain Boons – I stand behind all my boon selections except fo the Tyranny of Dragons campain. I believe I should be 1 in Life steal, 1 in incoming healing and one in critical severity. I wouldn't recomend all points in severity. Eventually I'll get around to respec … eventually.

Dread Ring



Icewind Dale

Well of Dragons



Companions
'''Note: We only need 1 legendary companion, that honor is for our Ioun Stone, more stats is always good. Legendary lvl doesn't increase our companion's active bonuses.'''

(Augment) Choose an Ioun Stone. You can use if you prefer the extra life steal even being so low. is also a good one but in the long term the active bonus won't be useful. It is difficult to get a Radiance but is almost the same except for the active bonuses. I chose the for the life steal and deflect.

Epic 10% Critical Severity and Epic  for an extra 5% Critical Severity, this makes 15% crit sev thanks to the companions.

or are very good options too. which bonus activates as soon as your enemy is not at 100% hp and gives you 7% more dmg when your enemy's hp is below 50%

gives 300 to critical almost an extra percent. I will probably swap this out if there is ever another time to get the Epic. As it gives 10% Critical Severity.



Gear
Necklace, Belt and Artifact: We will aim for the Lostmauth's artifact set bonus. *, Golden Belt of Puissance and * respectively. The set bonus “do an additional hit for Weapon Damage on a critical hit”, it's simply perfect: +2 STR +2 DEX as stats just like our ability scores, additional hit on crits. Right now, the bonus is working better than it should, being fair I expect it to be nerfed a lot but even nerfed is going to be the best set for us so don't hesitate to get it (it might become cheaper in the AH once is nerfed, so it's up to you when you decide to get it.)

Main hand: Dagger of Elemental Fire: boosts our main At-will. You will get it once you are done with the vigilance quests in Spinward Rise.

Off-hand: Elemental Fire Stiletto: Artifact class feature that upgrades our First Strike and artifact stat increasing our AP Gain. You will get it as soon as you hit Lv. 70 from Sgt. Knox.

Artifacts: After *, we still have 3 more artifacts. First, *, our dailies can deal much more damage than any other artifact ( hits really hard and have a very nice debuff but the stats aren't great). has very good stats: Critical/ArPen/CA dmg. has similar stats: Power/ArPen/CA. (CW Artifact) is the only artifact which comes with Power and Critical so it's a very good choice. The last artifact will depend on your stats, you can go for more crit/arpen/hp/power in that order. In example, if you choose a, you can switch the Icewind Dale's first boon for AoE resistance while keeping 2 artifacts that will provide enough Combat Advantage I ended up choosing for the Power and the Stamina gain. Stamina can be a life saver in dungeons. I obviously do not have the CW sigil yet, but once I get my CW up I will be swaping out the Heart of the Red Dragon.

Accessories: BIS rings are: Personalized Adamant Ring of Recovery with 394 Power / 394 Recovery plus 2 Slots (offensive and defensive). I recommend Major Stamina Regeneration Jewel for the accessories (belt, cloak, rings) except in our augment companion, only Regen jewels works on them in the case you want to use them but the effect will be barely noticeable.

Necklace: as mentioned before with the extra AP gain granted at Legendary lvl. 4% each 3s is amazing, it will become 50% of our total AP gain during a battle. It's a must to upgrade this artifact to max lvl asap. Cloaks with +8 AC are useless for DPS, it means 4% more damage resistance that won't make any difference.

Weapon and Armor enchantments: Vorpal Enchantment, Rank 8 is a must for this build. Perfect is more than enough, there's not really point upgrading, until last, your vorpal to Pure or Transcendent since the Crit Sev is going to be the same. If you are playing solo, Negation Enchantment, Rank 8 is a very good option but isn't really good for dungeons where Soulforged Enchantment, Rank 8 is much more important.

Offensive slots: Azure Enchantment, Rank 12.

Defensive slots: Mainly Radiant Enchantment, Rank 12 but Azure Enchantment, Rank 12 and Brutal Enchantment, Rank 12 are a good option.

Utility slots: Dragon's Hoard Enchantment, Rank 9 or Dark Enchantment, Rank 12.

Note: While you are achieving your goal (reaching the maxed stats) you might need to switch some enchantments in order to get the other stats that you need, like more ArPen, meaning Darks instead of Azure in offensive.
