Boeroer

Well - the Ghost Blades get the Legendary dmg bonus of 60%, the +3 (=+9%) MIG from Sated Ravenous Soul Hunger (the kill it procs already counts for Ghost Blades) and +15% from Two Handed Style. So without any special class ability +84% already. It also gets the +4 PEN bonus and the +15 ACC of Legendary as well - which both often leads to overpenetration (+30%) and crit (+25%). You can reach +100% dmg bonuses without breaking into sweat. 20 damage in a rather big AoE from a kill + hobble isn't bad at all. It also procs off of kills that weren't done with the blade itself (as long as you are holding it) - like Rooting Pain and Carnage and any spell (like Crackling Bolt). So it also procs off itself. It also procs from allies if you kill them (skeletons). It also profits from Myth Fyr, Turning Wheel (+fire lash) and Lightning Strikes as I found out. I wonder if it also can proc stuff like from Gatecrashers or Boltchatchers... so far it didn't proc, so maybe not. So basically the estoc adds Ghost BLades that profit from your blade stats to EVERY kill you do no matter how. All in all - if you build a bit around it - it's awesome! Edit: if I'm not mistaken I just managed to proc off the Boltcatcher's shock AoE from the Ghost Blades...

A proficiency is not connected to one-handed (or two-handed) usage. It just adds a modal to the weapon - it doesn't matter at all how you wield it (also code-wise). As AndreaColombo said: you can do Bleeding Cuts with Oathbreaker's End as with any other battle axe. In case you didn't mean proficiencies but meant One Handed Style (or Two Weapon Style) that you use for one handed weapons opposed to Two Handed Style: Oathbreaker's End only works with Two Handed Style, not One Handed or Two Weapon Style.

What's that issue with you and those bananas?

I'd also say you "waste" less time with doing ship-to-ship combat than with boarding. Especially with an upgraded big ship like junk or galleon and fully equipped gunports and developed cannoneers. I usually win after two jibes (depends on the enemy vessel of course). With double bronzers sometimes one salvo is enough. You can't do a boarding fight that fast - even if the enemy ship is only manned by a Beckoner's skeletons.

Nope. Only melee auto-attacks. That means no wound from stuff like Torment's Reach or any other active ability. AoE of weapons like Spirit Lance, Wahai Poraga or Whispers of the Endless Paths works and generates wounds (with auto-attacks).

Since 2.0 the regeneration items stack with themselves without exception I think. There was an issue with either the Troll Hide Belt or the cloak "Three Trolls Stiched" (can't remember which trollish item ) but they fixed it in 2.0 (see patch notes). You can also stack that aura "Pale Light"/"Nourishing Light" from that blue Disney heater shield with it.

Cool, will edit the build list accordingly.

Ascendant gets a LOT to do... all the time.

It should get triggered automatically once two or more melee guys attack you ("threaten" you). It has nothing to do with engagement (was changed in a patch because of Eye of the Storm removing engagement of enemies). Also allies shouldn't matter. Maybe you need to equip a melee weapon to see the little icon - because it only applies to melee damage. You should be able to find it on you char sheet under "Current Effects" (or what is it called?) as well.

Seems like the Godhammer plate was specifically forged for an Unbroken. Or for characters who want to pretend they are an Unbroken.

I think it does. I sometimes had the feeling also works with Swift Flurry and stuff. Because there were so many Ghost Blades stacked on each other - I mean visually.

Hehe - nice. And I didn't even write a bug report...

An enchanted Persistence has way better single target dps than Stormcaller (because Stormcaller can't have a lash and also no Durgan Steel). Stormcaller reduces shock DR for you and party members and the one-time-strike from Returning Storm is cool (it doesn't proc a "real" Returning Storm like a Druid would - with reoccurring lightnings. Instead there will be only one lightning). And of course Stormcaller would spare you lots of money and resources that could go to somebody else then. You are right: I wouldn't use Penetrating Shot on Stormcaller either, even though it means +10 damage per shot once you use Twinned Shot against targets with 11+ shock DR. An must-have talent for Stormcaller is Heart of the Storm. +20% damage without any drawback is nice.

Haha... you wish.

Totally viable. I wanted a pet that I can use as bait and where it doesn't matter that it gets surrounded by enemies while I secretly plan to one-shot them as soon as they gathered around Frogfish. For the times where Arkemyr's Dazzling Lights fail to lure enemies or just in the middle of combat. I also guessed that lowering the deflection that I buffed with Mirrored Image (when getting attacked) might not be so cool.

Hm, did it all the time - but as I said with spamming Torment's Reach- So you spare maybe one or two additional attacks with the Ghost Blades. Because the enemies would fall over from the next Torment's Reach (or the one after that) anyways.

I added the Tekehu build. I personally made the Fate Testarossa popular. I removed the "deprecated" tag from the Lady of Pain. Time to grab a beer!

Sure. I planned to scan all the builds in the list for changes on that front. I also noticed some other build crawled beyond that line.

Kalakoth's Minor Blights summons a wand into your hand (your actual weapons disappear temporarily). Then you just attack with that "Minor Blights" wand like you would with any other wand. Minor Blights procs an AoE crush damage when it hits the initial target. Each of those AoE hits will trigger a Blast (if you took that talent). That's why it's considered to be very powerful.

No, because two things have changed since that build went public: - retaliation doesn't generate focus anymore - retaliation now does a hit roll (used to be auto-hit). So 3 PER is bad Before that the synergy was pretty hilarious.

I tried it with Torment's Reach - and the Ghostblades also proc off of cone-kills. The fact that Torment's Reach and Ghost blades both use a cone shape makes this a very good combo: You place yourself in a way that Torment's Reach hits as many foes as possible - and so will Ghost Blades once it kills. Usually you'll kill the guy in the front first and bring down the others to 1/3rd of endurance in the meantime. Then, when the first guy falls and Ghost Blades procs it will most likely kill somebody else and so on - chain reaction till death. The raw dmg AoE of Oathbreaker does more damage, but it's circle shaped which in the above case is not so benefical. For others like Barbs that's totally fine of course.

Yeah, good point. The slot for those items is named "back_" and then something. Like "back_cloak_u_whatevercloak". So you could totally come up with different stuff that goes onto your back without breaking the "internal" logic: "back_backpack_u_the_drifters_breadbag" or so.

I guess it's a bug because the behavior when you have both is pretty wonky.

Yeah, if you wittled them down a bit the raw AoE on kill usually leads to a deadly chain reaction. Very nice with Cleave as well. The Estoc Engoliero do Espirs from the vanilla game does the same (basically) if you enchant it with Ghost Blades on kill - only that the Oathbreaker's raw dmg AoE is a bit more powerful.
