Dual-Malkadarr Trickster can drop dummy under 8 seconds :rolleyes: And kill MQ in two Execution crits
How fast for bosses like Mad Queen?
My cold mage Infiltrator kill her in about 5-6 sec i’d say.
I would assume that it might be closer then the dummy since over a higher period of time you get better chance to proc Execution.
That’s a surprise and it looks like the Chillstrife can’t compete with this cause of that ridiculous mod.
I thought Malkaddar’s skill mod added flat Cold damage to execution, when the heck did they change that :eek:
That’s quite interesting, I thought the Chillstrifes were the top atm… totally gonna try that
Chillstrifes are far superior in two general cases
- AoE
- CDR based builds where you can leverage the 4%(8% with prefix) CDR on each dagger.
I’m not at all surprised that amping up the strongest single target WPS gives you ridiculous single target damage 
Chillstrifes are indubitably top tier in the crucible.
It’s worth noting that the dummy is a target which cannot hit back.
Malcadarr can roll of Fervor. Chillstrife cannot=)
Picture me curious again, wouldn’t “of Shattering” be better than “of Fervor”?
I know a good chunk of that physical damage proc would be converted to cold, but I always thought that a 10% proc rate wouldn’t be so good 
I was under that the impression of rolling an ‘of magi’s’ on a chillstrife was what made it amazing.
DW 2x chillstrifes with ~300% cold damage and 8% CDR each + belg carnage relic = permanent mirror/mirror/blade barrier combo.
Could totally be wrong though. I personally don’t bother looking into what can technically be done given how improbable it is to get the right affixes.
Magi’s, Seer’s and Interrogator’s all give the 4% CDR. If you roll magi’s you can get extra lucky and roll +3 star pact for even more CDR.
Meanwhile frostborn//shattering chillstrifes are a bigger focus on damage - both single target and AoE. Boasting ~100% more +cold than a frostborn/shattering malkadarr’s you’re also getting more passive RR and passive damage making it easier to kill secondary targets without every having to click on them.
On fervor vs. shattering. I fail to see how fervor is relevant unless you just want hp. Shattering gives flat cold and % cold and more attack speed, fervor isn’t fully converted.
Magi’s a prefix
I was going to use the weapon on my Korba hood Trickster tho, like Ptiro suggested
Sounds like a madness :rolleyes:
Sry, my mistake. Of Ferocity, not fervor. But fervor is interesting too. 
Need to check it.
Eheh aighty then
Fastly rolled and tested both - daggers are kings DPS. Malkadarr provide ~10% more Execution dmg, but it does less DPS due to 20% extra cold RR from Daggers . Did more tests - cant kill MQ with dagger as fast as with Malkadarr https://youtu.be/2ahQTSfcQXY?t=1
Are those in the vid Frostborn Malk’s of Ferocity?
yes. With daggers she often live long enough to trigger her red-aura, resulting in 2-3 extra seconds. With swords she die before she can trigger it. With lucky crits she die like trash-mob. :rolleyes:
Still I think outside of MQ-benchmarking daggers are superior due to AoE dps and RR.
Meh, I dunno. I scrapped my cold Spellbreaker after completing HC coz I couldn’t dps down Moosie in absolute safety despite the massive RR from daggers, Ellena’s neck, 20/10 Night’s Chill, Ignaffar’s Combustion, Rhowan’s Crown and Murmur. Malk’s blade is giving me a little hope :eek:
Well the point of these blade is to push Savagery to 9 charges and Execution dmg to ridiculous level. 678% WD x2 Against heavily resistant targets they would be clearly less effective that chillstrafe. And in any build outside of savagery trickster they are not worth using.
Especially bosses with large hit box vs your shotgun effects
