Equipment


















In this update most of the gear has been upgraded or changed to a bit better version.
Rare belt has been replaced with
Ryslatha's Coil which provides much more damage.
We are now using a shaper influenced shield with mana reservation.
Our gloves now have implicits which provide chance to aggravate bleeding on hit and even an additional strike target.
Now we are using a body armor with very high armor and evasion rating. With implicits that boost our damage.
Our rare amulet provides increased critical strike chance and critical strike multiplier. And is also anointed with
Blacksmith's Clout.
We are now also using a Blood Sap Tincture which provides us quite alot of bleeding damage.
Passive Tree
First of all we have allocated
Iron Reflexes which converts all of our evasion into armor, improving our physical damage reduction against hits which we cannot block.
We have allocated all possible needed critical strike chance and critical strike multiplier nodes. To help us reach 100% critical strike chance and over 500% critical strike multiplier against bleeding enemies.
But the
Varunastra base critical strike chance is still a bit low to reach 100% critical strike chance, so i have allocated
Overwhelm from slayer using flesh and flame jewels which sets the base critical strike chance of our weapon to 8% instead of its usual 5%.
And with this we can finally start using
Perfect Agony, as we now get 100% critical strike chance against bleeding enemies thanks to
Puncture of Shanking and
Cornered Prey. And for non bleeding enemies we still get 100% as we have
Backstabbing which provides 100% increased critical strike chance against enemies on full life and once the enemy starts bleeding you already know what happens.
Skill tree has also been a bit revamped and many new nodes and masteries allocated.
We are now also using a rare jewel which provides alot of critical strike multiplier.
For the Fourth and Final Lab we will be taking
More Than Skill which will give lucky block making us very very tanky.
Skills






























We have added
Melee Physical Damage Support and even
Rupture Support to our main damage setup of
Puncture of Shanking as we now have 100% critical strike chance and take full advantage of
Rupture Support.
We now have a new utility setup with
Vulnerability and
Summon Stone Golem linked to level 3
Enhance Support as it boosts the chance to aggravate bleeding from
Vulnerability and boost defenses from coming
Summon Stone Golem.
Precision is no longer supported by
Arrogance Support as we have more then enough mana to run it on its own.
Precision,
Pride and
Purity of Elements are all now socketed in our shield as it provides mana reservation.
If you are in SSF and dont have access to
Overwhelm replace
Volatility Support with
Increased Critical Strikes Support or use
Brutal Restraint (Nasima Second Sight) with
Nightblade Support instead.
