Assassin attack chain quick reference

From GuildWiki

Many assassin skills have a requirement on their use beyond the usual energy cost such as "must follow a lead attack" or "must strike a hexed foe." Attempting to use an attack skill without meeting its requirement will cause the attack to miss and using any other type of skill will cause that skill to fail. In either case, the skill will not refund the energy cost but will not start its recharge cycle. The following tables give an overview of assassin attacks with such requirements. See the key at the bottom for help reading the tables.
