Hello I’d like to share a build with you guys for solo roaming that has an amazing effect with very high crit chance but also the ability to reset a fight and take on multiple targets at once. Mind you this will be a solo roaming style build. To change to a group play build not much has to be changed.
You can choose to go with either perception stacks (crit chance) or bloodlust (power). I’ve taken screenshots below to show you how much crit chance you will have with both. The purpose of this build is to be able to take executioner alongside Eagle runes to have an extra 25% damage when the target is below 50% hp. Alongside with 100% crit chance and 119%+ crit damage. I am missing a fractal backpack so you can actually get 1-2% extra more crit chance/damage. You can run shortbow if you’d for mobility but s/d if used correctly has so much more burst potential and a great weapon set to use to strip the boons off of those tanky players.
Below is the picture of my crit chance and stats with 25 stacks of bloodlust which is at (85% crit chance) and with 25 Stacks of Perception (I get 97% crit chance). Now the traits that I have selected are Side Strike which adds 7% chance to crit and an additional 5% crit chance from keen observer which adds your crit chance to (92-97% crit chance) with bloodlust stacks. With Perception you will get (104%-109% crit chance). If you add fury it you can have up to 130% crit chance with full perception stacks and full ascended.
My rotation usually consists of starting out in S/D and using 2,5, going behind and using tactical strike and dazing for 3 seconds, while they are dazed I use balisk venom, and do a cloak and dagger and steal then immediatly swap to d/p and land a backstab (This removes the need to use d/d in your weapon set for the burst). By now most of enemies are low hp or downed. If they are not; I usually use shadow shot to keep up and apply pressure with 1, if I see they are using a heal; I headshot to put their heal on Cooldown and continue till they are downed. You can now swap to S/D to cloak and dagger for a stealth stomp and get your stacks for your weapons.
This build allows for you to have 25% extra damage while your opponent is below 50% hp which is a lot; most of my backstabs are 7-10k meanwhile I have the ability to regen and stealth at all times. This build is the outline of the stealth build; but can be optimized to your own liking. Post mug nerf I used to run 10/30/20/10/0 and it allowed me to kill almost anyone in a full combo. The mug is still a nice trait to run and allows you to not only heal yourself if you need but apply a extra 2k+ instant burst to your combo. With the strength stacking and the 25 stacks of bloodlust I’m usually around 3400-3600 power while having 119% crit damage. It’s a very fun build that allows you to apply so much pressure to your opponent; and if you need can always back out and reset.
