thats without reaper

dodge sitting on 30%, hamp is kinda bad only 100, if i had more racial point i would increase it.

Wonderful video and post. Thanks for sharing.

A few questions please to help me learn:


Horizon Walker - 12 points spent primarily for the dex trance? (No Step Missed: Battle Trance). There are some Tempest enhancements not taken such as Whirling Blades (+3 to hit and damage while dual wielding) or Storm Dancer/Tempest. Would love to hear the thought process of enhancement selection.


Using Nightshard as your primary weapon (which I do too), and wondering your thoughts as to why and how it has help up over time? (Killing Time is becoming an older raid).


Investing in hide/move silently skills. Why? See taking destiny (Shadowform: Shadowdancer Destiny Mantle), why?


First Blood feat and epic destiny Shadowdanceer ability Bring Darkness (When you roll a natural 20 on a melee or ranged attack, you envelop the target in shadow, applying the Darkness debuff. If you have the feat First Blood, the trigger of First Blood now also applies the Darkness debuff, and First Blood now triggers on Harmful Spellcasts. Darkness: The target is no longer immune to Sneak Attacks. -3 Spell Resistance, -3 Physical Resistance Rating and -3 Magical Resistance Rating per stack. Lasts 12 seconds, stacks drop 1 at a time. Max 3 stacks.) What do you think of this? How does it perform for you?


I'd like to hear your thoughts on the shadowdancer epic strike. I like it but been tinkering with more in the FoTW line.

I'd love to hear more please on your epic destiny strategy too.

Is Healing Hands that much more better than using CSW with maximize?

Why the Fatesinger Epic Strike?

Is Elaborate Parry the new meld?

Is Merciful Strike worth anything in high reaper? (On Sneak Attack: If the target is below 50% health, deal 500 damage. This damage scales with 100% Ranged Power )

Nerf Flow?

Shush!!!!!

Horizon walker mostly for the trance, but the extra favored enemy is cool, its +14 dmg or something against them, its huge.
Yeah i'm almost cryed for whirling blades, but its gives less dmg than the trance.
Storm dancer? i don't know. It's sound kinda trash for 2/4 Ap, the eletric absorb mostly not as valuable, you have evasion. it would be nice against kor kaza, but you can put on spring of cloak it's enough, and fits to the rest of the gear.

Nightshard is cool, now got a labrythine edge, (also Id crisis wpn) with a few more bonus, like fetters and bloodrage.

hide and move silently cuz i must spend 5 point on the tree for the t2 D you can put it anywhere else. Destiny mantle for the move speed, i find sneaking way too slow, you need it in groups, and if you want sneak-intimidate kite dooms you need the move speed.

First blood, work over 90% hp so once per mob, and 3 sec cd. Maybe it has more value against boss, but you can get a ton vorpal with TWF. First blood is almost nothing.

Shadowstrike is op. You have slowing attacks, with daze on crits, with 220% strikethought, the attack range increase make very easy to land the hits, and kite.

The video is kinda tricky, yeah i used healing hands on myself, but mostly it's for the teammates, it's not touch range so it's much better.

Fatesinger epic strike is funny feels like it's hit very fast with very low cd, so i lost shadowstrike only for 4 sec. With TWF it's will proc on off hand too, so the stun chance is about 69,7% for me. I love it in 1v1 setup.

The new meld is improved uncanny dodge, elaborate parry based on dex so i get maybe 39-43% dodge depends on the situtation for 18 sec, with 90 sec cd. it's very good but improved uncanny is much better.

Merciful strike is kinda meh. 500 dmg is not so much at end game and only 100% scaling. Rog has something similar against 30% hp, but 300% scaling (not sure). if i had a few more racial i would get whirling blades.

Thanks Sennnki, really helpful.



What's the thought process behind going Legendary Dreadnought tier 5?

I'm not a fan of FoTW and shadowdancer epic moments, what do you think?

Action Hero - i like it, 40 sec kinda long, and a ton bonuses.
Dusk surge - kinda useless if you are soloing, anyway you will probably not kill 150 mob in solo r10 (not with this build for sure), but in long quests or in raids (on higher diff), its become powerful.
Legendary Rally - OP! 30 sec cd. clear cc from you, plus free aoe crit (crit mean daze with this build so its cc).
Overpower - its binds your mainhand type (slashing for me) but only 1 Dp, its mostly 2 Dp on other trees.
So its cheap and usefull tools.

FoTW - looks cool. Fury work well with high base dmg, from the three style (SWF, THF, TWF), TWF has a lower base dmg so the lower synergy with fury. +100% strikethough not bad, but you can be fine without it.
Shadowdancer epic moment probably one of the most broken ability in the game it's feels like the old EiN. Sadly it has anti synergy with slow effects like legendary salt.
Shadowdancer is good but the T5 is questionable. +3dc... why? Set the mobs AC to 0, does it matters? +1 crit 19-20 for 2 DP, why not 1DP? Wierd spell is probably good for a spellcaster, but not sure you want to spend so many point in this tree for wierd.

(crit mean daze with this build so its cc).

Is the daze from the Fatesinger Epic Strike?

How do you apply the daze effect in conjunction with Shadowstrike?

Daze is from Flow (guardbreaker on crit). Fatesinger is stun.
