| I've been tweaking and balancing this build for the past 2 years, and I've been using this current setup for the past 10 months. With this build, I am able to get top DPS in raid parsers and still able to be competitive in PvP (raised my KDR from 0.16 to 0.59). I am also able to tank some encounters, like Cavern of Malice hardmode. Let me know if you have any questions: http://aoc.yg.com/feat-planner?class=18&tpl=1223-05,1224-05,1235-01,1241-05,1242-03,1229-03,1233-01,1237-01,1238-01,1227-01,1246-05,1230-05,1248-05,1231-02,1239-03,1200-15,1201-11,4314-25,4301-25,4310-25,4315-21,4311-25,4318-23,4306-23NOTES: 1. Always use Staggering Blow in a fight first to get an extra +36% weapon damage, then stagger usage of Butcher and Staggering Blow to keep the Reverse Swing buff up while doing maximum DPS with butcher (I can get starters of up to 1200, finishers of up to 1700) 2. Scatter Foes is better than Clobber in PvP because it has a quicker animation and a wider cone until you can get your aim right. If you have Clobber V from Coppice of the Heart hard mode, use Clobber V as your main knockback. 3. Use Earth Shatter sparingly, since it has a long cooldown. Only use it when you are surrounded or close to death as a panic button. 4. Use Finishing Blow as often as you can. It can take some getting used to for the range after a knockback, but I regularly get it to hit for 1000+ and it's instant cast. | |
