U45 Vistani Knife Throwing Alchemist!

[charlieman]

Aeliyn's Vistani Knife Throwing Alchemist

Disclaimer: This is NOT a heroic leveling build, I did, however, find that it performed very well 20-30 so this may be used for farming ETR's or Endgame but I cannot suggest it for heroic players. Also, a better race choice would probably be Gnome or Drow for the bonus to INT (base and if racial AP their trees) and the ability to start as an Artificer for higher trapping skills. As an INT based character though I didn't struggle with skill points to catch up on my trapping skills. Gnomes are also a shorter range which is supposed to be better for IPS.
Current for U45

Enhancements

NOTE: When leveling I suggest taking the action boost from Vistani so you can attack at a tolerable pace. This doesn't stack with Whirling Wrists so it is not needed in epics.




Epic Destinies

The main epic destiny for this build is Shiradi Champion. The number of attacks with this build makes the Prism stance (double rainbow), nerve venom and all the other 7% chances in the tree quite effective.






Twists of Fate

NOTE: During the leveling process I only used Sense Weakness, Rejuvenation Cacoon and A Dance of Flowers. I only added Primal Hymn at 30. Another thing I would like to test but haven't would be if Critical Damage from Legendary Dreadnaught is worth twisting.

1. Sense Weakness
2. Primal Hymn
3. A Dance of Flowers
4. Rejuvination Cacoon

Boss Damage Rotation

1. Make sure Vendetta and Vistani Fortune are active
2. Activate Multitude of Missiles and Reaper Strike or Rapid Throw
3. Activate Hunt's End
4. Use Sniper Shot
5. Watch big numbers go boom boom
6. Chuck until Hunt's End is off CD
7. Use Whirling Wrists
8. Use Hunt's End then Sniper Shot again

In your boss damage rotation I think you should change to the following.

1. Vistani/KtA - 60s durations on both
2. Double - +30/30 strike/shot action bonus - 20s duration (this has longest triggering time even w/ quicken)
3. MoM - +100 shot bonus - 20s duration
4. Reaper - +30 reaper bonus - 20s duration
5. Vendetta - 15s duration
6. Rapid Shot - +20 shot morale bonus
7. Hunt's End
8. Sniper Shot - 6s cooldown
Assuming you can get all of the 6-8 done in 3s (after Vendetta triggers), then it's
8. Chuck
9. Sniper Shot
10. Chuck
11. Sniper Shot

Giving you 3 Sniper Shots per cycle, then basically you have diminished damage for 9s until Hunt's End comes off.

Just boss wise, Shiradi gives up a lot of single target damage over Fury, which would look like this.

1. Vistani/KtA - 60s durations on both
2. Double - +30/30 strike/shot action bonus - 20s duration (this has longest triggering time even w/ quicken)
3. MoM - +100 shot bonus - 20s duration
4. Reaper - +30 reaper bonus - 20s duration
5. Vendetta - 15s duration
6. Rapid Shot - +20 shot morale bonus
7. Unbridled Fury/Adrenaline
8. Sniper Shot - 6s cooldown

Assuming you can get all of the above done in 3s, then it's until Vendetta runs out

9. Chuck
10. Adrenaline
11. Chuck
12. Adrenaline
13. Sniper Shot
14. Chuck
15. Adrenaline
16. Chuck
17. Adrenaline
18. Sniper Shot

Good suggestions but I like running in shiradi for the bonuses such as nerve venom which is VERY useful.

Also I try to keep KTA up all the time so I just kindve assumed it was already running. Same with the Vistani t5

I dont use the action boost for doubletrike because I wasn't seeing it stacking I may be wrong though

Vendetta I also pop last before throwing anything I kinda forgot about it cause I press it instinctual


Sorry for formatting I am on a phone rn. Ty for suggestions tho

I did not mind Shiradi, and nerve venom was definitely helpful. Chewing down meat sack bosses took much longer though.

I think the benefits vary by quest and party makeup. I've found Fury/Archer Focus/Adrenaline works great in groups/raid where I don't need or even want to aggro everything. If I was soloing (which I don't do a lot of), Shirdai/IPS/Nerve Venom makes more sense. But, I'm also not a pure thrower, since went 18 Alc and can blast away with multi-vial/cindersmoke/multi-elements also with a lot more defensive layers.
