[Video] Final Thrust - WvW Roaming
lol and i was wondering why there are no videos with special effect, music sync like COD frag movies. tho it might be simple effects, but nicely done
Just a quick question:
Why did you link the trait set up with Arms trait IX (Opportunist)?
You literally have 0 reliable ways to immobilize people without the trait (I, Leg Specialist) in Tactics. The sword burst skill could serve, but I am not sure that trait is worth it for 1 immobilize.

Part of the build’s premise appears to be landing the sword burst and then landing 100 blades, having fury for that would indeed be nice.

I was confused by this at first as well until I saw the video. I still think it’s maybe a tad wasteful, but the synergy is there.
On a side note, I always found it a bit dumb that it’s sometimes more beneficial just to cancel flurry and feed off the immobilize with things like 100b. IMO if you cancel the attack it should cancel the immob, but I guess conditions don’t work like that.
thanks all.
big reason of using Arms trait IX (Opportunist) is because i’m running Lyssa runes, so i had to find another way to get Fury, other from SoR, and Opportunist did that nicely.
you get immobilize,Fury and bleeding(+10% damage to bleeding foes,Attack of Opportunity) just by using Flurry, which makes it a great setup skill for 100b or even Final Thrust.
i think of this build as a better version of the late “Skull crack build” with immobilize as a condi not a CC, higher mobility, higher overall crit chance, more DPS and not dependent on just one skill although less survivability.
So get VI in Arms. Free vigor. And Opportunist on your build is unreliable.
The trick in this build is not FT, it’s sword burst>HB and a lot of running. I personally don’t like it, but your video is very nice.

That is quite obvious and highly ineffective against decent opponents. It is a waste of a trait without the leg specialization. Would be better off to take “Last Chance”, so you can actually hit more than three times with hundred blades or actually get off a quick final thrust. But to each their own I suppose.
going for leg specialization means ill lose Attack of Opportunity (10% damage) + Forceful GS if you take 10 points from Arms. or losing Fast hands from Discipline , i don’t think it will work .
Furious Reaction is good but it has 30s cd, i found that Deep cuts works better with Attack of Opportunity in this build, having bleeds all the time on your opponent (+10% damage) is nice, also it confuses your enemy thinking you a condi warrior, and to add this build almost got the best mobility in the entire game, leave Furious Reaction for slower builds, although melee but you can kite in this build xD .
same for Last Chance 40s cd, i don’t go all the time for Flurry > 100b , but i abuse flurry like no tomorrow, having Fury almost running all the time without using SoR, also for cleansing condis.
SoR get saved for condi cleanse, buffing to a finish a fight, stomping or “when everything fails” button.
anyway no need to argue, this build is dead tonight :P

What from today’s balance patch is going to break this build?
Lyssa rune nerf I assume, need a different way to conditional cleanse.
