Look at the healing done...i use blood thirsty. Does that make my post irrelevant?

Using Zin's build, works great for fresh rank 2, rank 1 gear-

Very nice Oinkeye, that is amazing for your gear level.

what is this blood thirst self-healing I keep hearing about? I dont understand how it heals you or what soul gives it the ability to do so...

It's a guild perk. Gives you a one hour buff which heals you for 30% of your health after any killing blow (over 6 seconds). Costs a silver artifact from the guild merchant for 50g.

But Zin can you post a link to your build? You have posted in response to a few of my questions that it is 30rb/20champ/16VK but I am trying to wrap my head around how it comes together. I am so used to the Champion playstyle.... how do you deal with knockbacks without Way of the Mountain? also how do you get so much burst when your finisher is a fast-paced DoT over 4 seconds instead of a big dmg dealer in one hit move? How do you keep your damage on par without the dmg boost from Paragon's Tot5R?

1. It is true you don't have way of the mountain, but you do get an extra gap closer that refreshes on a crit.

2. I don't use fiery for my burst, i use earthburst/stormburst.

3. Most of my attacks are elemental based. The exception is the 90 physical damage part of ragestorm and frenzied strike. As such rift fury gives a 50% damage boost.

Paladin / Riftblade / VK 1h? The build has insane burst even on full R6 players!

Edit: Your pala/Champ build has 4/5 in armor, why? Absolute waste of 4 points.

That sword and board build I posted is designed as a rogue counter for world pvp. Armor is not at all useless against physical dps.

For 44 para/22 champ/ 0 vind I decided finally on my macros:

#show strike like iron
Cast strike like iron
Cast shifting blades


#show reaping harvest
Cast turn the blade
Cast frenzied strike
Cast inescapable fury
Cast reaping harvest
Cast path of the tempest

#show paired strike
Cast paired strike
Cast dual strike
Cast path of the wind

#show path of the raptor
Cast path of the hurricane
Cast path of the raptor
Cast rising waterfall

You might want to put paired strike in that AoE macro too. Or maybe just make this button by itself:

cast Paired strike
cast path of the hurricane

My AoE macro is actually not on that list:

#show path of the hurricane
Cast path of hurricane
Cast champion's AP generating spammable melee range aoe thing


But you just made me think of putting path of the wind at the bottom of that so I can do hurricane from range. Paired strike, I didn't want it in too many macro's so it doesn't get clogged. I'll just think to hit it and my normal follow up macro (which has hurricane on top).

Yeah, I was just thinking a macro dedicated to paired strike might be a very good idea. You don't want to waste it's procs on reactives.

Maybe just:

#show paired strike
cast paired strike
cast path of the hurricane
cast path of the raptor
cast dual strike

That way you're sure to use your paired strike to max effect.

Hello, thank you for this guide.

What Weapons do you reccomend for Dual-Wield Speccs, and why?

I dont know what are the advantages / disadvantages from two daggers or two swords.

Best Wishes!

Pretty much just the highest DPS possible. However, I like the rank 6 daggers better than the rank 6 swords even tough there is a 0.4 dps difference just because I like to stack as much crit as I can and the swords have AP.

Very nice to think about for sure! Any way i could get you to link your build? i am playing around with the 30/20/16 format on the calculator and having some difficulty choosing btwn certain abilities in my theorycrafting.

nevermind i found your other post

[furo]

38 Paragon / 26 Champion / 2 Riftblade

#show death touch
suppressmacrofailures
cast [ctrl] death touch
cast path of the hurricane
cast path of the raptor
cast dual strike
cast path of the wind
cast bloodthirst
cast frenzied strike
cast inescapable fury
cast turn the blade
use whispered silence

#show proper timing
suppressmacrofailures
cast Proper Timing
cast [ctrl] bladefury
cast Deathblow
cast bladefury

So for this spec, which I like to run in the WFs, what is the use of the "ctrl" command that I see in your macros? I've also never seen the "use" command in a macro? What does that do?

Also, I assume that you want to add the SLI and FB macro to this from your 44 Para build?

And finally, when you say use BltR whenever you can, are you just spamming it when it's off CD, or are you saving it for when you are rushing in to fight a mage or cleric?
