I ran TB from 1-70, I was blasting through content. Then they nerfed it and I was getting smacked around. It was a fun run but alas, it is dead.
I respec to flurry,death trap, and I am once again viable and its a lot of fun too. All you need is the unique pants that make death trap continue to go off until it kills an enemy. The lifesteal and vulnerable from flurry is ridiculous. Compared to TB it’s a lot more enjoyable than having to make the blades pass thru enemies for that cooldown reduction.
With poison trap and smoke grenades, I can legit set off 4-5 death traps in a few seconds. And NGL the sound of the death trap going off is hugely satisfying. I’m running level 89 running NM 40 pretty easily in less than 10 minutes. If you want to see my build and items let me know it’s a lot of fun
For sure. Let me see if I can find one of those websites to show my skills. But I’m running flurry, poison trap, smoke grenade, dash, penetrate and death trap.
My hands are sore because I’ve been spamming spells for the past two days because my cooldowns are always up. I’ll send a video when I’m home from work.
Edit: you can also switch out smoke grenades for shadow imbument if you wait to see things explode in .5 seconds but smoke grenade gives you god mode just a little slower to kill things
Thats not bad bro, but you kind of need preparation for the build to work and reset the CDs. I would drop your condemnation weapon and pick up something else. In the link i posted i forgot to fill out everything but i will when im home. Its actually ridiculous and I would keep the penitent boots b/c it gives you free CC and energy from the aspect on your ring
teehee… dont tell blizz but with enough lucky hit and exposure (the last passive at the end of the skill tree) im legit spamming death traps every second in a big group of mobs… ill send a video in a couple hours its nuts
I’m using TB with Poison and Death Trap - with a few exceptions; it wrecks everything (when you run out of energy; it takes a second to rebuild momentum…) But yeah, poison trap - TB - shadow step out and then back - drop another poison trap.
I did the first capstone at level 41 solo… The class is fun (I wish the other classes were like this…)
Drop shadow step and pick up smoke grenade or shadow inbument. Shadow step is overrated if you do enough damage fast enough and my cc is ridiculous so I can’t be stopped.
And honestly, I was thinking of dropping my basic skill lmao. I don’t even need energy other than boss fights. Some dungeons without bosses i don’t even use my basic skill once.
Yeah it is but meh. I’m not playing hardcore I’d rather die every once in a while and run 7 min dungeons. I’m considering dropping dash for shadow step but def not going to have two movement speed skills.
you need both movement speed skills to optimize your TB build. TB damage more by distance travel because the blade will follow you and every enemy it passes through will add damage, add procs, lucky hits, or crits. Essentially TB becomes a area skills by having both dash + shadow steps.
There are aspects that add more charges to your shadow steps so you can do 2, and with already 2 charges of dash you get 4 movement skills ready when you fight.
Having the right paragon board and glyphs will help you survive or deal more damage btw.
I think you misunderstood. I was talking about level 50 not tier 50. And yes I understand how TB works with movement speed but I don’t need shadowstep and dash when I can walk into a group of mobs, smoke grenade, poison trap, death trap, another smoke grenade another poison trap and then I’m spamming flurry healing 12% life per hit. Within a couple seconds my lucky hit procs and my death trap is up again. If the mobs aren’t dead they are dazed, knocked down, frozen and/or stunned.
I’m not asking for help with TB I’m telling you it’s trash and flurry/death trap is stronger and more fun
