Hoko's Blink'blade/Shadowdancer guide for 1.5

I have another question. Why the 2 points in physical trauma? Impale, Jagged Strike, nor Final blow are ever used in this build :S If they're just filler points, im sure there's other places to put them.

40% more puncture dmg, ur highest hitting ability, which btw bypasses armor. you are welcome to put those 2 points in bd or rs but they wont give u 40% dmg to ur highest hitting ability.

Is 2 points really worth buffing only one ability that has a CD by 40%? I'm not trying to debate this, I'm actually curious.

yes, considering you cant put them anywhere else that would increase dps by anything significant, you could get 6% dex from bd or another interrupt from rs, there isnt anymore dps talents you can get that compete with it.

Yeah I just had a look. Not really anywhere in Sin you could put them either. Alrighty, thanks for your help


Really loving the build too. With a tablet I was pulling 1400 on the dummies self buffed only, with only 2 pieces of durnes, and the rest of my gear mostly t2 stuff. With my 51mm build, I was pulling 1300 self buffed.

most def, move around some filler points to pick up the heal from RS and ur set.

[psi101101]

would this better for soloing rift elites/bosses or ur assdander 2 button spec? im currently using the assdancer one so just curious..

blink blade would probably work better for the rifts and such,
you are getting more of a heal after mob kills, have a higher def set up because of the RS in the build, as well as a higher attack because of the blink buffs.

they both have 20rs, bd does better tanking period so blink'blade is best for solo, it also has aoe.

Rift scavenger, every time you kill a mob, for every unused combo point you get 6% (if maxed out) of your max health healed back.
