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.

  1. Hit up Assassin's Remedy and Sharpen Daggers.
  2. Approach enemy.
  3. Hit Critical Eye, Way of the Assassin, and Critical Defenses.
  4. Spam Mystic Sweep and Eremite's Attack like there's no tomorrow.

CALCULATIONS

Chance to Critical = 17% (Scythe Mastery) + 16% (Critical Strikes) + 7% (Critical Eye) + 36% (Way of the Assassin) = 77% CHANCE OF CRITICAL HITS!

Every time you hit a Critical, not only do you hit for 58 damage, but you also get the following perks:

  • One Condition Removed
  • Bleeding on target for 16 seconds
  • Renewal of Critical Defenses (78% chance to block)
  • 4 FREE Energy

Mystic Sweep and Eremite's Attack have a beautiful Activation of only .75 seconds. Since you have 3 Enchantments on you, you'll be doing +27 on each Mystic Sweep. You'll also be doing either +9, +18, or +27 damage on each Eremite's Attack depending on how many enemies are adjacent to you.
