Ah right, I had a question drowned out in Twitch chat (to be expected).

As a 100% PVE Thief who almost never encounters Toxic Alliance, will that Elite finisher be worth my using?

I am sure you will find plenty of mordrem and Mordrem-influenced Silvaris who have to be finished.

Tomorrow they will be talking about Challenging Content. So you will get your answer there for sure.

This. My guess is that we’ll see more enemies that need finished like we did in LS season 1 in the new content, as it’s a good place to add mechanics to fights like corpse explosions and enemy rezzing.

Fist Flurry/Palm Strike + Impact Strike chain could be a DPS increase for PvE along with Bound. If you rotate like:

CnD + Backstab + 1 auto chain + Bound
Repeat

And then when Ini gets a bit low, use Fist Flurry/Palm Strike, Impact Strike -> Uppercut.

Put another 1 or 2 autoattacks in to the chain before Bound to save some Initiative while Impact Strike comes off CD.

Alternatively, you could pace out the rotation around just Fist Flurry, but I’m imagining that it would be better burst for shorter fights to include Impact Strike + Uppercut in there. Or, like others have said, you could actually use the finisher against new enemies if they have that downed feature!

Man, I’m so excited for PvE DD!
