Help With PvP Phantasm Build
lol Pyro, did you ever get to duel that other guy who thinks his shatter build is all that? Corey or something like that.
Yep. He plays very well, and actually got me two times, when I wasn’t fast enough on my blocks. However, it only took me two fights to effectively counter him, and the rest of the duels were rather quicker wins, although still requiring a pretty high level of counterplay. Definitely possible to beat the phantasm build with it, but only if they aren’t ready to counter.
Are you talking about Zelulose that was trying to use a duel with u to nerf sharper images?

like your the one to talk. Experimenting with the most OP combination of gear and food buffs that allow you to burst all classes like a beta 100b warrior

Cool, at least he wasn’t all talk hahaha
Sword Phantasm is relatively weak, but hits fast and has a Leap Finisher, giving it added defense with comboing. If you can get 3 out, it’s hard to escape them… and they’re probably the easiest Phantasm to get 3 out with, too.
As for Torch being kittenty, I agree it’s bad in a Phantasm build, but it’s not a bad item for defensiveness, you just might not have enough offense with it as a Phant build. If you were in a shatter build, I would say go for it because you can use the Phant as a shatterbot.
The sword phantasm is not relatively weak. The sword phantasm is the most powerful single hit phantasm we have other than warlock with a lot of conditions on the target. In my phantasm build, my swordsmen regularly crit for over 6k a hit, every 3.5 seconds.
How can swordsmen crit for 6k? Do u mean spvp? My spvp swordsmen can only hit 4500~4800. I use rune of centuar and berserker amulet.

Depends on your build, your current might stacks, your target’s build, and their current vulnerability stacks.
Do you have 30 points in dueling? Were you fighting a glass cannon? Are you using runes of divinity for the crit damage (you’ve said you aren’t)? Those are all necessary in order to hit 6.5k crits with the swordsman.

I test on the golem… I have no idea whether they have toughness… My trait is same as your phantasm build. Maybe 12% crit damage of divinity increases a lot. I’ll try that rune. But rune of centuar really increases our mobility a lot… And its power and bleed time is cool as well…
If you’re switching from centaur to divinity you will see the difference. Also it was likely on a clothie.
