    How long did it take to get this footage? a few days, hours, weeks?
  • Sanguisaevum
    All fights in this video took place over two sessions of play... basically a couple of days I reckon.

    I like it and how you use sparks to counter bash spam, but may I ask why you even bother using bloodcraze? It seems kinda redundant to have flying blade and bloodcraze considering they have the same purpose, but flying blade has higher damage and utility.
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    You might want to drop those two blue rings and pick up 2 warlock signets. Your magicka gain will seem night and day with the proc. I'm sure a few other armor/weapon improvements and you might start to include fights with competent players in your videos.
    - done w/ it

    Because it showcases all the strengths of a NB, and they are not many.

    I use blood craze for the health return. Combined with leaching strikes, it offers excellent in-combat HOT. Plus, f-blade is getting adjusted soon, (it is clearly not meant to be a DPS skill, but a utility skill that adds some range and gap closing to the DW line) so i don't want to get used to it and miss the damage when it gets changed.

    Gear is still a work in progress, i didn't realise i could use multiples of the same set to get the bonus... I thought you needed to get one of each item from a set... Thanks i will try it.

    As for opponents... I include the fights i get, other player's skill is something i cant control i am afraid. :)

    To be brutally honest, most of the fights are meh. Fighting underleveled people or people who are not fighting back. Being on dawnbreaker EU it shouldn't be a problem finding enough decent fights to put in your video, I find plenty every day.

    As for your setup, I don't understand why you leave leeching strikes up 24/7, it cripples your opening burst and isn't necessary in the opening parts of the fight anyway. Sparks is awesome and so is blood craze, but I just can't play without ambush in laggy conditions (which is pretty much always) and find it hard to justify having leeching strikes on my main fighting bar. Killer's blade takes priority for me over sparks as well. I do have both on my second bar however, which is basically my outlast melees and flying blades bar atm.
  • Sanguisaevum
    There are a handful of sub 50s. The majority are v1 or above. Those that don't fight back, don't fight because i attack from ambush and keep them stun locked.

    Keeping leaching strikes on full time really doesn't affect damage that much. Try it for yourself and work the numbers out, i did.

    I would rather keep resources replenished from the start of the fight. Personal preference i guess.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    People underestimate just how good leeching strikes is, it is the NBs defining skill. As long as you can stay in melee rage time to time you basically never run out of resources. Add sparks to that and you can't melee him and hope to win.

    I do think that this build would get absolutely annihilated by a well played sorc. Maybe some templar builds can deal with it. It seems like a hard counter to most DK builds.
