Thoughts? Suggestions? I know we can’t duel, so I’m trying to maximize my engage burst.

Before you ask, I use tripwire on those annoying friggin chronomancers and heralds. Make me feisty, decided I’d gun em down first.

Also, a fantastically funny dueling build:

If you want more burst on D/P, dump Dare Devil. This build is pure burst and most classes without a lot of sustain and fast on the counters won’t know what hit them:

Not group friendly and is a complete one trick pony.

I swapped Scholar for Evasion. Steal does 1.5k, bound does 1.6-3.2, rune does around 800 then with a chance of air/fire/pulm. Wondering if I can one shot with that >.>

If you rely on Bound to add into the damage, you can never expect to one shot anyone unless you intended to kill them with bounding damage — which is highly unlikely.

Now this one might actually one shot someone with PW if everything proc’ed.

EDIT: BV → activate sig → pre-cast PW → Steal → Haste → PW (+procs) = dead

Bound+ steal always hits. people don’t expect it for some reason.

Yeah, but you won’t instakill anyone with it.

No but I will get them to at least 50% causing panic strike, followed by them using something to respond giving me another interrupt from pistol whip. Then they die =).

That’s is a complete opposite of your thread topic since that is prolonging the inevitable.

You violated both “speed up” and “instakill”.

I’m confused how? So far things just die after my first combo, which was the goal. Should I change topic title? I’m trying to make an assassination build. Combo is basically

400 range dodge+1200 range steal proccing so many random proccy thingies, followed by pistol whip. Estimated time of combo finishing is before the fury wears off.

The bound animation is a dead giveaway and you’re relying on dropping them to 50% too much, which means if it didn’t drop their health below 50%, your initiation failed; which also mean that the window of opportunity just slammed shut to your face.

The build you’ve posted is not faster than the build that Straegen.2938 have posted even after switching your rune/sigil, etc.

EDIT: You can test out Straegen.2938’s build and see for yourself which build is faster.
