I think he/she is using something like 20/0/30/0/20. You can clearly see the retaliation proc from Spiked Armor, the dodge animation from Reckless Dodge and the energy recovery after using a burst skill from Building Momentum.
Btw killahmayne, post patch I think you should change to 0/0/30/10/30 with leg specialist and burst mastery. You should also change to Melandru Runes/Hoelbrak Runes. Why? well:
- Building Momentum is getting nerfed (fixed*), this is the biggest contender, Building Momentum is extremely good right now, not so much afterpatch. But hey! 2 sigils on two handers next patch! Maybe a Sigil of Energy to offset this?
- Lyssa runes are getting nerfed and you used Signet of Rage on CD every single time just to get the buffs I suppose, and not to clear conditions. Lyssa runes will only transform 5 condis into boons now. You are also wasting the 4th slot as you very rarely cast your healing signet.
-Pin Down’s cast time is getting tripled and getting added a new shiny animation on top of it. It will definetly become very easily dodgable by a competent player, so bladetrail+leg specialist>quick weapon swap+Pin down will combo extremely well is what I think.
-As you will no longer have condition cleanse on demand with no Lyssa runes, burst mastery makes Combustive Shot+Cleansing Ire that much more reliable.
-With Melandru Runes/Hoelbrak runes + condi reduction food + Dodged march you laugh at soft CCs so you can forget about Mobile Strikes altogether and use something else instead.
-With 100 more armor you can rule out Dolyak signet and use Balanced Stance for a lower CD stun breaker and higher uptime on Swiftness and Stability.
-Armored Attack provides you almost the same Attack you get by going 20 in Strengh.
-Reckless Dodge is overrated and gets nerfed with BM’s fix.
-Great Fortitude (little more than 1,4k HP on average) is offset (kindda) by going 10 into Tactics (1k HP).
-You have Short Temper left, which is good, but not mandatory by any means.
I guess it all comes down to losing Slashing Power or not?
You have a keen eye my friend, 20/0/30/0/20 is indeed what I am running. I will definitely change what I am running post patch, whether it is the trait set up you suggested remains to be seen based on the fact that we are still in the dark about all the changes that are going to happen. I might not even run LB anymore because of the huge nerfs.
I will most likely replace the endurance lost from Building Momentum with an energy sigil or two, not entirely sure yet. I will likely switch out Lyssa runes (RIP Aegis/Stability Stomps) for something like Hoelbrak/Melandru to help deal with conditions better. I actually don’t use Mobile Strikes however.
However, I am not a huge fan of Leg Specialist to be honest. Yes it is good for catching runners sometimes but I feel it isn’t great vs many classes in actual fights.
Warriors will laugh at your 0.3 second immobilize. Thieves can shadowstep it easy/blind/stealth. Mesmers can teleport from it easy or use blurred frenzy to avoid incoming damage. It seems like Engis are immune to it a quarter of the time. I only really find it effective vs Rangers/Necros and possibly Eles and Guardians.
The power I will lose on top of nerfs to Arcing Arrow and the Ferocity change nerf makes me want to cry. Plus I wouldn’t have Slashing Power either.
Anyways, my build should be on one of my earlier videos on my youtube channel, it isn’t the exact build but at the same time not a whole lot changed.
