(This Fashion Dawn took quite some time! Sorry for the delay in posting…)
Bloodspike GT
Bloodspike DPS + BH
(vs Dummy with all buffs active via DPYes - No Tip the Scales or Spectral Wrath applied!)

Build Comment: With almost any Vitality :skull:/Bleeding :drop_of_blood: DDD Build, you can simply start with the Blood Knight Set and go from there. Combine that with the Wanton Carnage Set and you’re pretty much 90% of the way to the finish line. These are very versatile sets that work for so many classes for this damage combo - and that’s a good thing in my opinion! :sunglasses:

The hard part then becomes finding ways to get that Casting Speed as close to maximum as you can. Once you do that, spam BH becomes a reality and you can start dishing out the pain. One thing to note here is that both Spectral Wrath and Tip the Scales -RR% is not being applied to the Dummy. This means that even though DPSYes lists the damage as a 50/50 split, it is more like a 60/40 split in reality and this also depends on what you are fighting.

Getting Bleeding :drop_of_blood: Damage applied to BH is tough and so I opted to try and get as much added to the Weapon Damage % that I could through the use of the Fox, Huntress and Mogdrogen the Wolf Devotions as well as Ateph’s Command Augments on my jewelry. Every bit counts!

I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Benn’Jahr inside the Bastion of Chaos and managed to slaughter him without trouble. I hadn’t noticed he spawned and he looked pretty similar to the other Obsidian Heroes around him. So tankiness is definitely there! :laughing:

Fashion Dawn proved to be quite difficult here. I wanted to play off of the “spike” of BH and so I went with the Rotgheist Set to start. After that I used the Ghol’s Reach Gloves that kind of match as well as the Ravager’s Barb for the weapons with the Ravager’s Harvest Augment to give it a slight Vitality :skull:/Bleeding :drop_of_blood: effect. I think it was a success in the end despite taking lots of back and forth to decide on a final look. Wooo!
