Usage
General
- The build has a hit-and-run playstyle, it's all about landing one major burst with Greatsword and then surviving until the next one.
- is mainly for boon stripping and blinding (useful to safe stomp) in this build.
- Chaos-only: using will give you), you'll immediately be revealed and loose stealth.
Sword
- isn't only for dealing damage - it'll serve as your secondwhich can be handy when you are expecting a burst but ran out of dodges.
- andare great tools for repositioning yourself or occasionally rooting people into your burst.
Greatsword burst:
- Stand close to your target.
- for damage, Might, and an extra clone.
- as soon as your clone from Mirror Blade appears, immediately followed by a.
- Use before or after the burst, it's up to you. Keep in mind that it fires a boomerang projectile too which can break stealth.
- If you were already in combat, the burst combo can be extended: before you begin be on Sword/Torch, use - just before the stealth runs out be in melee range, switch weapons, and do the rest of the burst. The Prestige will add some extra damage while making the burst harder to dodge. Your GS sigils will also trigger, granting Quickness and applying Vulnerability.
- After the chain try to disengage a bit, you are not suitable for spending time in the middle of a fight for more than mere seconds.
Counters
- Condition pressure
- Thieves
Core Power Shatter mes is kinda in an odd spot. This build is outclassed by power mirage due to split surge giving it teamfight potential and the increased mobility of mirage thrust. That being said, I play power shatter with zerker ammy and scholar rune(and mantras ofc). You can go toe to toe with almost anything out there as you have more stealth than anyone but thief and can oneshot any build in the game. Good choice for those who like to play power shatter.
