Is this set up any Good?

CodyFurlong

So I was working on developing a new character, and came up with his ability bar, would it be any good?

It tarts out with Critical Rush as the opener, used from max range for maximum bonus damage, then hitting the target with Wrecking Blow to knock them back and stunning them to set up for the Engulfing Flames, which would get a damage bonus from Wrecking Blow. Empowering Chins is then used to pull the target back to me, which would get a damage boost from Engulfing Flames Finally Executioner is used to finish the target off, with it;s boosted damage both from the Empowering Chains, and from the target being low health by then hopefully.

No this would be terrible.

For a start you seem to be mixing stamina skills and magicka skills. Which is something you don't want to do.

If a skills costs magicka then it's damage scales of spell dmg and max magicka, if it's stamina then it's damage scales on weapon dmg and max stamina.

You go one of the other you don't mix both.

Change the engulfing flames to noxious breath the stamina morph.

Chains don't work if a target is cc immune which they will be if you hit them with a Dizzying swing before it.

Also when you crit rush make sure you light attack a target before using dizzying you'll be missing out of so much damage if you don't.

The reason it's both Magica and Stamina is because I don't think you can have enough Stamina to use all five moves one right after the other. The point was to do some moves that used one thing, then use something else while the first recharged. And if I changed it to Burning breath, The the Empowering Chains wouldn't get the 10% damage buff anymore. Is reducing the armor that much better?

The reason you want to avoid mixing attack skills is because the scaling is so significant. If you're using Magicka attacks with a Stamina build or vice-versa, those attacks are going to be really weak and ultimately hinder your overall performance.

It's better to learn how to control your resource consumption by weaving normal attacks between your abilities, use heavy attacks to replenish resources, and then use your other resource for support.

Would this be any better? It still uses two stats, but I just haven;t been able to come up with a set up using only a single stat that fits with the character.

Critical Rush, Dizzying Swing, Flame Lash, Empowering Chains, Executioner.

The plan is to charge in as the opener with critical rush, getting the damage bonus from using it at max range, and also being a crit hit. Then dizzying swing knocks them back away from you, and stuns them. The because they're stunned, flame lash will hit them making them off balance and turning the lash into it's stronger form to heal me and do more damage. Then empowering chains pulls the target back to me, boosting the damage that executioner does on top of the damage boost it gets from low hp targets.

What he says

You CANT mix mag and stam attack !

Whatever smart set up you think you came up with. It might work on paper but ... No.

Depends on how many proc sets you're wearing. That Crit Rush would be enough if you have 3 on.

DannyLV702

To be honest, just think of all those "perfect combos" in movie fight scenes. This is kind of the equivalent. More than likely, it will not work on a target that is not afk

WhiteMage

The combo you are looking for is:
Crit Rush
Dizzying Swing
Crit Rush
Executioner
Punctuated appropriately by light and heavy attacks of course. Ult when necessary. Throw a proc set in there for extra cheese.

CodyFurlong

No idea what a proc set is.

A set that does something when triggered by something else.

Would the second critical rush after the dizzying swing really be worth it? It wouldn't get the same amount of bonus damage it would, then when used as the opener from farther away. Also all this talk of only using one stat, mans that I basically can't use my class abiltes if I want to use a weapon. Since weapons use stamina, and nearly all the class abilities use magica.
