Also, as has been mentioned above, ascension has potentially quite powerful regen possibilities, especially when fist weaving. I feel three uplifts is more than enough especially considering the other healer(s) helping top people off, and then there is always revival for those clutch moments. I feel like Chi Brew is largely unnecessary since you can store five chi with ascension, which means you can potentially do a three uplift burst if you need it via uplift uplift renewing/expel/jab uplift and you can do this everytime you have the chi as opposed to Chi Brew where if the raid takes burst damage more often than every minute and a half you SoL with the smaller chi pool. I use ascension pretty much all the time to great effect.
TL DR imo Power Strikes for mana gen, and Chi Brew for burst chi Keep in mind ascension looks the best here but in actual play, having 240mana per second only equates to just over 6000 mana over 20 seconds in which time you would have needed to gen at least 1 chi to keep up with the other talents, and thats only enough mana to get 2 ticks of sooth Not sure on the math here for unglyphed but does anyone not run mana tea glyph? 044444%mana / 1sec = 133.332mana/sec or lower depending on how long you delay itĤ5000mana*.08 = 3600mana per drink(glyphed), best case 10 sec = 360mana/s I actually never considered how much ascensions bonus mana effects fistweaving heavy fights like horridonġ chi every 20sec = 1%mana / 20sec =. Also good to use against Bosses, as it inflicts Pain and Chill to improve all your outgoing damage and setup Opportunist Stab without the need of your pistol.Ascension should never be used all it gives you is a larger buffer of mana and unless you burn more then 300k mana in a matter of seconds its not gonna effect you in a fight Shatter Bullet with Cannon Pistol deals a beautiful 280 Impact in one shot, more than enough to knock down most enemies and allow for an easy backstab.įor the rare scenario where enemies are too fast or plentiful to Imbue your pistol repeatedly, Brand can be extremely powerful when fully buffed. Great if your enemy somehow survives your barrage of bullets, or if you just need to save on mana. Three types of damage, monstrous Impact, healing, AoE and debuff without having to manually reload your pistol. Deconstruct all those useless Iron Swords and Machetes that drop from the legions of bandits and you'll be swimming in them. One final thing to note, you do not need bullets for this setup. Carrying Cool Potions will let you load multiple Frost Bullets per fight, and they're cheap to mass-produce. Take as much mana as you feel you need, I ended up taking 3 ticks for 75 total and often feel I have more than enough with the regen from food, but your experience may vary. Kazite Spellblade is optional here, I took it for the stats from breakthrough and another boost to dagger damage via Infuse Frost, which also helps Brand stay powerful late-game. Finish up with a Blood Bullet, and if they're somehow still alive they'll be heavily debuffed and ready to take 6x damage from your Opportunist Stab.Īlso note that Frost Bullet has an AoE component, and will actually apply your pistol's effects in that explosion radius. Enemies will move at a snail's pace when hit, giving you plenty of time to load a Shatter Bullet and likely knock them down a second time. Use it again just before combat to gain a huge damage boost, alongside Possession and Discipline. Use Cool as soon as it's available out of combat and load a Frost Bullet, as it will remain until you fire it. The Cannon Pistol's single available enchant pairs perfectly with our build, providing a small frost and mana boost. As a bonus, it never breaks, removing the issue of how much durability dagger skills eat through. Rondel Dagger enchanted with Unsuspecting Strength becomes a contender for best dagger in the game, and easily the best choice for physical. What started as a basic Rogue abusing Shatter Bullet evolved into this monstrosity of a frost/physical burst build once I picked up Frost Bullet.Ĭannon Pistol + Shatter Bullet inflicts Pain and Confusion in a single shot, perfectly setting up your Opportunist Stab for absurd damage. Mixing all three bullet imbues with powerful dagger skills makes this build deadly at any range and able to control and disable enemies with repeated stuns and high burst damage.
