Utility
- - adds more burst damage to the build. Consider using right before the first projectile goes off in order to cut down on travel time/distance, making the skill harder to avoid.
- - good passive bonus and extra cleansing/evasion on active.
- - primarily used to chase down targets. If you need to break stun with it and don't want to remain right next to your opponent, you can use NPCs and other players as targets to teleport to.
- - a ranged pull on short CD. Good at closing gaps, interrupting skills and setting up bursts without spending initiative.

Stats
- The ratio of Marauder and Berserker gear pieces partly comes down to personal preferences. As a general guideline, try to aim for ~17k HP when getting the gear. Rune options and traits like can both affect your maximum HP so plan with those in mind.

- over - if you're willing to sacrifice some condition cleansing for a stacking damage boost.
Consumables
Food
- - good stats and passive damage mitigation.
- - same stats as the food above except with life steal instead of damage mitigation.
- - non-ascended version of the food above, without the sustain.
- - crit chance bump with armor ignoring damage procs which also heal.
- - mainly a budget defensive food that provides more frequent access to dodging.

Ratings
The DPS is S-tier, but be careful not to spam the twilight combo incessantly/watch for projectile hate or you'll be punished quickly with no initiative to spare. The S/D offhand also provides versatility especially with projectile hate opponents, and also provides an easy immobilize for a follow-up attack or cloak and dagger. I use slightly different sigils/armor stats (mostly dragons with some marauders) but 9/10 build overall and rewarding as it is punishing.
Everytime I want to give it a 4 I run into a fight that I win under 5 seconds with Twilight Combo spam. It's a very binary build, it either demolishes someone or fights an uphill battle. Scepter 3 spam can do up to 8-10k damage depending on the build of the opponent. Sword/Dagger is a good backup set to have, you can cast the predictable gameplan aside and play it like a more conventional S/D build to mop up kills. Sword certainly makes this much less of a one trick build.
