LF top 5 DW (updated builds)

Does anybody catch the buff on ABB conduit? :wink:

I did! I was hoping for some weapon damage or more flat, though. Or poison flat. Radius was already good with Venomblade set.

Might be good for some Venomlances or Bilelaunchers, though.

I tried it with bilelauncher Dervish and about 0.6s CD ABB. I have about 110k DPS sheet but still feel inferior to venomblade ABB.

Venomblade should be even better with that conduit though. It can clear the whole screen + nemesis if it get surrounded by trash. Will test it with my venomblade WH. On Dervish, you really should try my acid/poison SG misery, ya… [emoji14]

And you should really try Rah’Zin. Gives you perspective!

The fact that you need to use symbol of solael for RR sufficiency is already make me angry. Too many cast and preparation for an AA build.
That damn component skill need to be made as a proc already!

You don’t really have to. I only used it for emergencies. Like Reaper or Grava. It still got some flat and %gmd so it’s not totally wasted even if you don’t use it all the time. Fluff and Ptiro didn’t use it at all.

With this I agree 100%.

You may go for ABB conduit and clear Cruci faster, BUT:

  1. Fervor + WPS have better single target DPS and outperform ABB in SR
  2. With Fervor I still can do 3 runs without banner
  3. One 75-76 SR run gives you tons of reward and takes less then 15 min. Also less boring then Cruci runs:rolleyes:
  4. Fervor + WPS kill Ravager for 1:44. I’m still polishing new spec, have an idea how to improve even more

Damn, that is very… confusing

No, it really doesn’t. Please, I know what I’m talking about. I did dummy tests. I just did one again with the exact setup I posted above.

The exact setup (maxed ABB) while spamming ABB - 13-14s

All points pulled from ABB and put in NHH to full and the rest in AQC to 8/8 and maxed Execution while casting ABB exactly every 4 seconds - 15-16s.

Results vary a little due to randomness of WPS and crits. But NEVER are maxed wps better than maxed ABB spam.

You took fervor, a bit of WPS and ABB sacrificing Oathkeeper skillpoints. It’s not exactly what I’m talking about.

chop chop and post that new build, i choose to level a dervish using your build

also, for levelling, took both FR and ABB as left and right mouse buttons, and RoS and the heal, so far so good, clean content with a breeze. Any other advice?

Are you talking about something else now? I was referring to your statement about inferiority of ABB to WPS vs. single target. I proved it wrong. Let me recap the test:

maxed ABB cast as often as possible ~ 13s

1p ABB only cast every 4s ~ 16s

Fervor is maxed in both tests. All viable sources of dmg on oathkeeper are maxed. Nothing is different except ABB and WPS. What oathkeeper skillpoints are being sacrificed? Consecration? Offensive returns from Consecration after softcap are negligible. It’s 1% attack speed for 3p. Clarity of Purpose? It does not empower autoattack anymore than it does casts.

The point at which I managed match maxed ABB spam in a dummy test was this where Merciless Repertoire is also maxed and some defense is sacrificed to further empower wps. But this setup has 1p Ascension. It can hardly be called superior in SR.

I can upload the vids if you don’t think I’m being objective.

BTW all these setups are now outdated. It is better now to take Revenant instead of Manticore even on acid builds. Like this.

@ya,is it me or ABB activates quicker if you bind it mouse key?Also in my experience with DW and high attack speed Execution proc often skeletons.

Not that I’ve noticed. But for some reason the cooldown animation on the skill icon doesn’t start for a fraction of a second when it’s on 1-10 keys. The skill goes off but the icon looks like it’s jammed for about 0.3-0.4s. This doesn’t happen when it’s on LMB or RMB.

Execution is a single target single hit WPS. So it’s the worst one for proccing. On AQC you got 3 times the chance. On WD up to 8 times, depending on how many enemies are around you.

That what I mean,is better on mouse key.

My mistake,my idea was to bind it on wps,execution indeed is poor example.
