    Good Video and you're absolutely right.

    I fall into the build copying trap but its because my playtime is limited and when I play I want to run content and not sit and plan builds.

    But with T1, seeing all the new sets, I keep thinking "what if" ""with this set" "with this skill" and it is exciting to try them out (after the grinding)

    Keep up the good work.

    Couldn't agree more with encouraging people to come up with their own build rather than just copying. If anything, rather than copying someones build, analyse it along with their play style and understand why it works. Then apply that to your own build.

    Also like your points on teamwork and planning. Some of which can be applied to more than just ganking - there is an element of this is in larger scale group pvp if heavily outnumberd, poor planning / decisions can lead to a group wiping fast.

    Nightblades are such an interesting class. When done right, like here, they are formidable, but there's such a range of skill levels and I think relatively few can play it quite as well as this. Nice vid.

    Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

    lol smiff, you went 1 for 8 against my mDK. I'll give you that one successful gank, though. Sorry you're still salty about my tbag and the other 7 times you had to run off.

    Slot FoB on your bar. Gank blades can't stealth away like they want ;). Funny watching them panic after a bunch of fireballs pull them out of cloak XD.

    Fun video though OP! I switch to my one shot build every now and then when my mDK keeps getting zerged lol.

    I don't think you even listened to the video. He was talking about our playstyle how fun ganking is, then encouraged people asking for the build we're using to make their own build. The build used to be more complex, but with the current meta and nerf to camo hunter it has forced us to use proc sets in order to kill impen black rose builds. The way the build is articulated is what makes it unique; staying in cloak after killing someone, being a melee bow ganker, the skills, etc.

    I guess the ganker hate blinds people to much :/

    I have no ganker hate. My magblade ganker is pretty standard Elegance and Clever Alchemist and I'd call it cookie cutter too. If someone shows me a DK ganker I'll be impressed.

    That is the sad part, having the build around the stuck-in-combat bug is so annoying. I'm pretty sure than half of my deaths are related to the bow dots getting me stuck in combat for over 2 minutes lol

    People will see a melee range bow build and say its cookie cutter. k

    I could drop veli and viper and get 44k dps instead with a build I would consider more cookie cutter.

    Bunch of haters that think running a sub-optimal build then running in an 8 man group getting 1vx'd by proc builds saying it takes no skill to gank. Let me know where the other melee range bow gank builds that are running it the way @SRIBES and I are running it are, since its cookie cutter. Would you rather I run 5 flanking+1 kena, 1 veli abusing the sometimes bugged flanking weapon damage to get 36k 2 hit combos on heavy armor builds? Or something that is genuinely different then not just other gankers but all builds in general.

    Also, none of this "proc meta" would be "meta" without SRIBES mentioning it to the big time youtubers and streamers. Blackrose meta, also. Everyone would still be thinking running max spell/weapon damage+max regen is the way to go. You all don't even know that there's even more efficient builds out there to 1vx with, but why 1vx when you can take a zergling group away from the fight to try and kill two lonely gankers. The adrenaline rush from that far surpasses casting shuffle every 6 seconds to get rid of snares while passively dodging things then hitting people for 15k burst (on heavy armor users) while wearing heavy armor yourself with one light attack, ransack, bash.

    @FENGRUSH you and essa are among the exceptions that I should have mentioned. Was a bit rushed with the commentary, but yeah you two do definitely test things out and make unique, powerful, openworld builds. Meant no disrespect, its just that I wanted to put it out there that most streamers aren't always directly responsible for coming up with the builds they post. It's often credited to lesser known players. You've said it yourself many times that Essa runs a lot of the numbers for the builds you end up using(This was even before he started streaming and had a somewhat unknown youtube). Not saying you're a bad theorycrafter, just that I would rather there be thousands more players like Essa, and sribes then what we have now with everyone running the same build for 4 months at a time.
