Anyone have a SB CS setup?

[Tufnir]

Been trying to make a Critstrike SC setup, but finding it damn hard.

Anyone have one they want to share?

PS: This is correct forum for this isnt it?

 

[old.Hellskor]

depends on what kind of items you can get/have at hand.

Good template but it appears to be for an LA specced SB (without any + to LA) since its using 2 weapons instead of a 2hander. You will also want to drop the quickness for a critblade I'm sure too.

Was gonna ask the same question myself earlier as I was playing my totally not uber SB (since I dont use a bot) as I contemplated the upcoming nerf/forced respec to a critblade.

I'll have a play around on Lelidia's calculator now and post something later.

 

[Damon_D]

Think I have one some where but it includes the SB GG cloak.. and thats kinda hard to get hold off..Will see if I can make one with out it

 

[old.Elrond]

From what I understand quickness doesn't affect PA damage so you are only gimping your melee speed if u dont have quickness, feel free to tell me I'm wrong though

Well, if it was for a LA specced SB this temp would be total crap

Not all critblades use a 2H, I prefer to use 2 weapons, for 2 poisons and more chance of screwing up your targets reactive styles because you hit faster.

And PA is your first strike, so quickness has nothing to do with it at all.

So you as a critblade perform CS styles with 2 weps equiped and voluntarily reduce your damage by 40% since thats what having no LA spec does as soon as you equip a 2nd weapon?

 

[decline]

Uh lol 40% reduction? lol

lol.

 

[Blood]

the thing is the perf chain is really pretty crap after CD, so a critblade should kill in first or second hit (roughly).

However i find i do nearly same damage with cleaver & hand axe,
+ i apply 2 poisons (str/con debuff & lifebane) in first hit,
+ you get 4 extra imbue slots, and 28(33 oc) extra imbue points,
+ the thing that really made me choose cleaver + hand axe combo is that its ALOT faster... that stun from CD comes in before they have time to quickcast a mezz or stun, or slam you, or run away.

Thats the mechanics of LA as far as I understood/experienced. The use of LA makes your mainhand damage reduced to 0.6 of max and this is increased by 0.05 for every spec point in LA. So yes a critblade (ie. a SB with no LA spec) performing their CS styles will hit for only 60% + the dmg done by offhand if it hits than a critblade using the same 1h weapon and no LA.

Correct me if I'm wrong or carry on lol I think theis post has deviated somewhat. Come on somebody must have a decent critblade template out there.

 

[old.Hellskor]

LA damage get's reduced by ~30-40% in 1.62

For the SC Temp, no need to put +11Env on it, just get some gloves/boots with +6env and put the DF Jewel of Venom on = +11Env for poisoning your weaps.

 

[Jaem]

My Template, using 99% leather...

(sleeves are a drop, but I guess they can be SC'd easily)
I switch boots and a gem for my envenom skill to raise.

I've done alot of research into this and you are indeed correct, Qui does not effect any style that you use coming outta Stealth. So a Critblade would certainly want + qui Big PA then a fast CD follow up.
