Sheer Venom Set and Execute Abilities

Galenus_of_Pergamon

(5 items) "When you deal damage with an Execute ability you the enemy, dealing 8834 Poison Damage over 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 6 seconds".

What Templar, Dragonknight, Nightblade, and Sorcerer abilities are execute abilities?

Do the other skill lines have execute abilities?

Grabmoore

Templar: Radiant Destruction (Jesus Beam)
DK: none
Nightblade: Assassins Blade/Killers Blade
Sorc: Mages Fury

Weapon skills: Reverse Slash and Steel Tornado

So basically all skills that say "deals X% more damage while below Y health".

But don't forget that only the DoT of poison injection procs sheer venom.

This still pisses me off. Why is DK the only class with no execute? WHY, ZOS?

This is correct, the initial hit of PI will not procc this set, no. You will need to have 5 slots equipped with this set when the start of the dot (2s after initial hit) Wich does make it abit more clunky to use if you want to have the 5set only on bowbar.

I heard funny thing by someone very exp in endgame conent etc....

withous MSA duals the best for dps
stamplar>stamblade(good dps because of class skill on stmaina)/stamsorc>stamdk(the worst)

with MSA duals so with much better dps

stamsorc>stamplar>stamdk>stamnb

stamsorc just because of implosion proc nonsto with very much dots...each active dot have chance to proc implosion without cooldown

stamplar just because stamplar is op as they said me xD

stamdk because just MSA duals

and stamnb becasue ehh....he have good dps without msa duals and this weapoind dosnt increasing stamnb dps that much like on dk or sor who dont have class stamina spammable skill


and at all look...only NB have execute as stam build becaus eno one is using 2h

What does any of that have to do with DK having no execute?

Really quite simple actually, by design.

DK's have a rather relentless ability to pressure with DOTs, combined with a huge buff to Heavy attack damage, the kavatch gladiator set, some CP allocation, and DW and passive. DK's have the hardest hitting execute in the game it's called a heavy attack.

@olsborg oh man. Thank you very much. I was just about to grind for this set for a bow back bar. Thanks again.

DK's have the hardest hitting execute in the game it's called a heavy attack.

In the time it takes to wind up and release one, any other execute could have been cast three times, for much more damage. Also, just by definition, a heavy attack is NOT an execute. It doesn't get any stronger when a target is at low health...that's what an execute is.
