Glued something like this together.

Do you guyz think it’s possible ? A duelist made for on-point fighting that gets really dangerous when getting low on health, getting as much benefits as one can get, and then healing back up?

Obvious problem is a constant Condi Pressure (even though it can handle the standard condi builds with runes, pet, signet and Evasive Purity).
But it is not glassy (not really tanky), has nice burst and plausible regenerative capability.

I wouldn’t use the Ferny, since you already have over perma regen from HS, though. Maybe Drakehound/Wolf instead?

Hi, lets presume the concept of MDG/might stacking will work, ithink you should change some things:

SOTW>SOS tou have 3 k armor so the passive of SoS does nothing for you, SOTW with 560 healing give much better survivability for both you and your pets and also helps vs condis(your weakness) and brings the utility of stability, dps and movment.

Intelligence>Leeching, with low crit chance build, Intelligence is your best freind.

Spotter > strider’s defence , Even if not that great and have some bugs, its still better than strider’s defence.

Change atleast one pet(the hound) to red moa, prema fury and aoe healing is just good.

Well, I find Intelligence Sigils half a waste since I’m running Remorseless that gives 100% crit on Weapon Swap (fury from skirmishing). Intel sigils are blown immediately if there is more than 1 target since both Sword and GS cleave.

I went for SoS especially because of the active. When you get below 50%, you can enjoy nice 6 seconds of free unstoppable brutal damage rampage without every worrying about dying. I take 3 might from it’s activation into account (and I already have Enlargement activated at that point).

The main sustain mechanic is the leaps into water field. The 80 healing per second doesn’t really save my skin. And the armor mitigates more damage than the passive healing for sure (unless I’m against pure condis).

You are probably right with Spotter, though. I was just hoping the sword CD reduction with Projectile denial might be useful. The crits come from swapping and SotP anyways.

I cannot test this mate, because reasons, but this worked previously.

If you had a Sigil of Leeching on, that effect had to be used before any other sigil effect (like doom or intelligence) could proc. So, you could run Leeching and Intelligence and the 1st attack would leech, then you would get your 3 crits. Meaning, if you run Remorseless, Furious Grip, Leeching and Intelligence you should be able to get 4 crits in a row.

Test it out and let me know if it still works!

I’m going to give it a try, Heim.
I’m positive the Leeching cannot crit at all, but I’m not sure if the attack that triggers it cannot either. If it suppresses the Intelligence Sigil, that’s just as awesome as I could imagine it being.

EDIT: Nope, you can only get 3 crits. Sigil of Intelligence is consumed by the 1st crit (Furious Grip+Remorseless) and consumes Leeching at the same time.
