What do you think about duel wield for laceration/rend ultimate on backbar?
Love this build; my gear isn't ready yet, but definitely seen improvement in dps (don't have groth shoulders, or gold twice born star, just using gold julianos)

Everything always changes situationally for me it seems. Maybe some things have changed since One T? I have Scathing and BSW sets also, have no idea what's best though.
A lot of people were saying that Scathing is better - it's uptime is higher because Path procs it. Did you do any testing by any chance? I still can't get some pieces.

The good news is that I have all possible Illambris pieces, I believe. Dropping the keys in hopes to get Grothdarr, I got Illambris The bad news is that I did have that lightning staff but gave it to Fire, cause I never thought I would need it, since I'm not playing a sorc.
Oh well.
How can one replace that lightning staff? DW like now? Or a random lightning staff would be better?

I am, but only every other back bar. I find it to be a DPS loss in fully buffed trials. Only reason I keep merciless at all is because of the Minor Berserk, since at range I cant always count on healers keeping it on me.

I think merciless is the number one reason that mageblades struggle in Raids. It is supposed to be this great DPS tool, but Merciless is essentially redundant with combat prayer, and the spectral bow proc requires two globals.

Why Ilambris and not Valkyn? Or is it just for trials since stuff is more stationary in comparison?

There's one more thing. If you use it every other buy and renew Scalding rune every other bar (which is what you do, I believe, can't check duration right now, not home) - then you will empower Assasin's Will proc after dropping the rune. The only thing - I'm not sure whether it's worth skipping a weapon attack or it's better to just weave an attack in between the rune and will.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm curious, what have you tested in lieu of Scalding Rune? I'm showing it to still be pretty lackluster in this update, but curious to see what you've dug up. Thanks
This is funny, I've been using Illambris on my mNB since OT - and everyone was always stating that it's bad for NBs
