Overview
I'm surprised I haven't seen a build that make use of Duelling Sword's Agile blessing.
With Agile's dodge reset, I finally manage to make a viable build that could interact with the Inexorable Judgement that everyone forget about.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros:
- Infinite dodges, as long as there's something to hit
- High Ability uptime
- Speeeeeeeeeeed
- Stealth for good support function (Easily deal with specialists, mission objectives, rescuing)
- Decent single target damage
- Fun
Cons:
- Not that tanky (You kinda rely on not getting hit)
- DPS might not be as competitive as meta builds (given)
- Breaks your space key from dodging
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How it works:
Weapon:
This build is build around the Agile blessing with Maccabian Mk V Duelling Sword
Everytime you hit a weakspot you get a WHOLE RESET of your dodges, which you have 4-5 with your Duelling sword. You can pretty much not take any damage while gaining all the dodge buffs while regaining toughness.
Maccabian Mk V Duelling Sword is recommended since its heavy hit is a downward slash that'd easily hit weakspots (heads)
Maccabian Mk IV Duelling Sword is more precise and deals with Ogryns better since you could poke through their body. Average meta blade.
Maccabian Mk II Duelling Sword is hard to comment on, use if you like it.
Agile is a must for sure. For the other one, Precognition and Uncanny Strike are both pretty good. I prefer Riposte for better uptime with Invocation of Death .
Do not forget about the updated alt attack which is a parry. It staggers Dreg Rager even during their blade dance. Refer to Telopots' video for a complete explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvB0dV9qqIU
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for long range, Artemia Mk III Purgation Flamer and Zarona Mk VI Combat Shotgun are both great for horde clearing.
Go for shotgun if you want the off meta experience. Altfire shot + bleed from Flechette and you're good to go. ADS lets you easily deal with snipers and such. Inexorable Judgement boosts your shooting speed a lot, enjoy the rampage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talents:
We won't need that much Toughness from Kills with this build since Second Wind and the 3 +30% Toughness Regenation Speed from your Curios allow you to keep it 90-100% while surrounded. If it drops to 50% just pop your Shroudfield and you're good again.
Blades of Faith is still the best for dealing with specials and disablers. You may switch it with Immolation Grenade for better horde clear ability.
Pretty much all Aura works, Beacon of Purity is recommended for Havoc and Maelstorm.
Inexorable Judgement with Inebriate's Poise lets you keep your stacks up even when you can't run around.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playstyle:
Just dodge around and keep slashing heads. Inexorable Judgement plus Duelling sword's Finess stat gives insane attack speed. Scourge will keep your crit up while bleeding everything to its death.
Save your Shroudfield for Ogryns, Armored specials, downed allies, low toughness or any other emergency situation. Make sure you kill something with your stealth for cooldown reduction via Perfectionist. Time to Kill with Shroudfield does big single target damage but you have to pay attention on the cooldown.
Last but not least, enjoy and have fun!
