    Did you actually do that? I would more than like to see a pic of the crazy Tooltip, most likely the game will crash bc tooltip dmg too darn high!

    I've tried this morning but I found out that you cannot do Rapid Strikes + Entropy, because Entropy consumes the Cruel Flurry buff.

    But I can definitely get 95k on my Soul Assault ;)

    Also I'd probably have 100k+ If my second Maelstrom Axe was Legendary. I tested it on a Legendary Axe + Epic Axe. Also no Spellpower Cure and my Undaunted Mettle is only 4% (No medium pieces)

    Working as intended, this explains so much as to why stamina DK's are doing way more damage than everyone else. Not having to recast rapid strikes before applying each dot is such a tremendous power boost. Just having to reapply before they fade means the rotation is not hurt at all and there's no sort of interesting game play that forces you to choose when to begin rapid strikes and then apply buffs, you just have to do it once and then make sure your dots never fall off and gg free dps. Quality game.

    Does bat swarm work?
    Can flurry buff itself?
    Caltrop's but for one person?

    Just wondering.

    The soul assault thing is cool but not really going to be effective against a Shield spamming sorc or nb dark cloak. Dark cloak is general is what keep's me away from using these weapon's.

    Can confirm Flurry does indeed consume the Cruel Flurry buff.

    My Stamblade can probably do some nasty DPS in PvE now that I have 2 Axes.

    Does this even do decent dps though?

    You sure it's 100%? Reading the tooltip, it looks like two 50% chances.

    Sure, only if you have the Maelstrom Bow though and are running Thief/Shadow - 67 Precise Strikes.

    My rotation would probably look like this:
    • Boss fight
    • Caltrops
    • Ambush (Empowered) + Volley (Maelstrom Bow)
    • Rapid Strikes
    • Reapply Volley
    • Reapply Caltrops
    • Repeat

    Not exactly sure on the actual DPS because I'm a console pleb

    Seems like you'd still do better with surprise attacks if you aren't using rapid strikes to buff dots. Though, I am no NB expert so I couldn't say for sure.

    Atm we always do rapid strikes because the DoTs fall off....Rapid strikes is good dps....We have yet to test if 1 Heavy Attack might be better than another rapid strikes. But atm we always rebuff the DoTs with Rapid Strikes because they run out bc of our rotation.

    Caltrops does not work
    FLurry cannot buff itself
    Batswarm not tested yet, tho I think does not work bc it is a ground aoe based Ulti

    It is additive, so 50+50=100%
