Hello I'm ebbin! I play on east Morpheous, maining a offensive blighter and holy shit is this build good, in the last three days of 1v1 balanced arenas I was able to get placed 14 out of the entire server, running this build and playstyle all the way through it.


SO WHY CHOOSE BLIGHTER?

It has as much damage as a Darkrunner, yet tanky like a Abolisher.

Can counter most every physical damage class in the game.

But most of all it has a massive skill cap allowing you to beat most everyone in the game regardless of class.

WHAT MAKES THIS BUILD BETTER THEN EVERY OTHER BUILD?

This ones simple on this build we will focus on long cc combos as well as high movement. Both making it very hard to hit you due to them constantly facing away from you and having a long time to dish out some serious damage while they can only sit there and do nothing.


LET'S TALK SKILLS! (WHY I CHOSE THE ONES I DID)

We will kick it off with defense as it is what makes a Blighter different than a Darkrunner

To start with we have

not only does this skill do some good damage but it is a stun that is normally combo'd to get a nice trip and some good damage, so its a no brainier.

Speaking of combos we then have

, this skill not only combos with

to trip the enemy but it will consume all of your Mettle (which can be stacked up to 5000 now) and does 50% of that as damage making this skill hurt, like 9k+ crit hurt.

Since we just talked about Mettle I have to bring up

this skill not only gives you a massive amount of health (2318hp without bears vigor, and around 2720hp with bears vigor), but also turns any damage you take into Mettle (The exchange rate is about 1 Mettle to every 2 damage taken) so this helps you get the Mettle needed to make

heal a crap ton and

hit really hard.

Ok so let's talk

this skill, oh boy this skill.

used to be used for a massive health regen instantly, though with the 2.9 updates to defense that's not really the case, due to the skill changing to 50% of mettle stacked to health, I mean sure you can wait for a full 5000 mettle to get like 2-3k hp but you dont get that much mettle very fast. Alternatively you can take advantage of the nice little debuff purge it give, basically when you use

it will negate all negative debuffs for you. I will go further in detail on when and where to use this in the playstyle section.

Defense isn't really defense without block rate so anyone who doesn't run

should re-evaluate your life ;D. so that makes it another no brainier.

Lastly in the defense tree we have

, the reason why

is so big with this build is it can be used as a preemptive cc break, so basically if the cc isnt physical (something you can block parry or evade to negate its effects) and it has a travel time you can use

before it hits you and you wont be cc'd and then right after that you can move and cancel the invulnerability.
