Alacrity Build and Thoughts

Since we have SnD now there is a fun build you can do with alacrity and the weapon enchant Gale-force Striking. helps if you have 20%+ haste to start. Currently I can build 1 Cp about every 2.5 seconds with my build. and that is just from auto attacks! Currently I am pushing 60% haste with everything buffed. I am sure it can be pushed much higher as I am stat weighted for mastery.

The problem is even with the increased CP’s earned from your AA’s you SD is still on too long of a cooldown.

Fun build thought I share! But I also wanted to share my thoughts on making Alacrity compete with Enveloping Shadows.

Enveloping Shadows is such a strong talent choice that it casts a big shadow over alacrity. Having 2 charges of SD and the buffed passive is just too good! Since Sub damages revolves around being in Shadow dance and alacrity kind of takes away from that. I was thinking it would be nice to see alacrity somehow also play a roll in reducing Shadow dances CD to make it viable in PvE scenarios. Some ways they could do this is also make Alacrity reduce the cooldown of Shadow dance by 15 seconds. Or maybe add the passive from Enveloping Shadows to Alacrity.

Your damage outside of dance would be too bad without ES. You’re three relying on RNG to keep FW up which will also effect your damage.

I honestly feel that is not a viable build especially once you lose lucid dreams.

And that is exactly my point on buffing Alacrity to somehow also reduce the CD of Shadow dance to push it into a viable spot. Too remedy the downtime on FW you could always grab Gloomblade talent.

I am not using lucid dreams ATM. I can still sustain 3k DPS and burst up to 8k with my current build. That’s not to bad!
