Pros
This build combines the speed and damage of battlerage with stealth and hardcore cc, which u may have expirenced when fighting classes like Daggerspell or Defiler.
- Lots of CC
- High single target burst damage
- Many ways to get close to your target which is useful when fighting archers or other classes that want to kite.
- Can fight more that one opponent.
- Stealth
- CC breakers
- High parry rate, which is a good counter for other melee classes relying on the combo, and archers.
-Immune to sleep and fear.
Cons
- This class is easily countered by high defense builds, and shild users.
- Relys on a few high damage attacks to hit, which can get parried or blocked.
- Long Cooldowns
- If fails to reset your cooldowns, you wont be able to chase as effectively.
How to do damage with this build
You always want to use before picking a fight. this will give you very high parry rate and more damage.
Your main combo is:
-> -> ->
You want to use as a backstab when your target is knocked down, which will apply the battlerage passive.
Follow up with .
If this isn't enough to kill, then use any CC and wait for CD's.
If your target tries to kite you, use to gab close.
How to set up kills
When dueling other high burst classes like darkrunner, daggerspell, blighter, outrider, primevil.
The person who gets first attack/get his combo off first has the greatest chance of winning.
With this build you got a few options when setting up this "first" attack
First of all , one of the best skills in this game because of the first attack advantage.
In case you're fighting another class with stealth:
-> will allow you to safely apply the to start the combo.
Use the in case you're fighing someone with witchcraft. but look out for your own sleep/fear immune buff, they might want to do the same thing. Keep in mind that only got a 10sec CD, so u can simple apply it again if someone removes it.
This skill is very usefull when waiting for CD's to get back up.
Good luck with it. Also i can recomment buying the 3000 honor Sword from the honor collecter, this will also help you get closer to archers. problem is getting within that 20m mark.
This build is only viable with two 1h weapons.
Play style
Code:
Been using this build for a while now, only thing I changed was to take Freerunner over Reckless Charge, since I also do a lot of open world PvP freerunner is just more suited for me. Props to you for creating the build!
