This was the Elite Spec Video shown today. This is the Scourge part.

They are using a dagger to generate Life Force fast, and I was already thinking about this, but I had an idea that may be a good choice for Condition DPS in PoF’s Meta.

I was thinking Dagger Mainhand with Dagger Offhand, and Scepter/Torch. Dagger Mainhand synergizes well with Dagger Offhand, it has really fast Life Force regen, but also has Dark Pact, which in a way is similar to a Corruption Skill like Blood is Power. This makes the Corruption Deathly Swarm combo a bit more powerful, but the Mainhand Dagger also has Life Siphon which does more damage to bleeding targets. I know this won’t be used over the Auto Attack most likely, but it is a nice filler if you’re already capped, and need a quick powerful heal, with a bit of damage packed in with it.

If the damage from Shades really proves to be as big of an amount as it looked. With proper gear, and capped Condition Duration on your gear, then the Dagger Mainhand, and Dagger Offhand combo may work really well.

Starting with Scepter/Torch, then weapon swapping on cooldown, with a slight pause to synergize Dark Pact with the Deathly Swarm combo. The Sigils could be Geomancy, and Torment, but will most Likely be Malice/Geomancy, Earth/Geomancy, or Smoldering/Geomancy.

This is just a random idea. I am in no way trying to theorycraft. I just think that the downtime of 9ish seconds to regen Life Force to do the Shade Skills may be more DPS, than just camping Scepter forever.

What are other people’s thoughts?

Probably scepter warhorn to double down on the cripple. Really liking the scourge, its going to be a good 2v2 on node kind of class. Drop a shade on a point, your teammate is in it to contest and you can remotely affect the fight. If they over extend to focus on you, you can kite them relatively well while still having a shade to affect the point.

The shade skills sound really interesting

What area of pve are you talking about? Because a lot of people keep saying dagger mainhand, but in general pve (roaming maps, doing meta events etc) life force generation is almost never a problem.
