Build Description

This build contains one or more skills that have been changed because of skill updates. This may cause an increase or decrease in the build's performance, so check the skill descriptions carefully. If this is your build, editing it will remove this message.

With the Swordsmanship, Critical Strikes, Way of the Warrior and Critical Eye, you have around a 72% chance to make a critical hit. This will give you the chance for hit for higher damage on about 3 out of every 4 attacks you make. And with that high chance, you will have that 3/4 chance to gain 4 Energy with each effective critical hit, along with the chance for Critical Defenses and Agility to renew themseleves without recasting them. Stack this one top of the double hitting Hundred Blades as the Elite, which with 4 people around you, on that 3 in 4 chance of getting a critical... you will get around 6 critical hits in that one attack, which will give you 24 Energy gain from a 5 energy skill.

So you have 72% chance to hit for higher damage, gain 4 energy while constantly attacking 33% faster with around 20 more Armor (depending on your title track) and a 75% chance to block attacks. Also, you have the use of Soilder Strike for a hard hitting attack and a healing signet for 122 HP gain.
