What should I do for Post-BB Dual Blade skill build? Since we have to max shadow resistience, we have to sacrifice something. Why are Owl Dead and ADS so useful?

rofl. Owl dead isn't really that useful, but ADS literally is the most important skill you have. wanna recast dark sight every single attack? no? me neither.

[/quote] You mean every single Chains of Hell attack. You don't have to cast it every single time for things like Flying Assualter. Also, just put DS on they key next to CoH. Problem solved o.o

ADS is worth it. Owl Dead is just for kicks I'm leaving it at 6 because I like the Cool Yellow Eyes I gain when it 1hko's a monster =)

Owl eyes? That's 1.5x damage for 9 attacks. It doesn't seem like a lot, but when final cut ends and a boss is summoning monsters, you can kill one with owl dead and use 9 chains of hells with 1.5x damage. That seems worth it to me.

I hardly use Owl Dead. It's kinda useful in the Visitor PQ, but that's about it for me at least. Final Cut basically replaces Owl Dead. I'd choose ADS over Owl Dead any day. ADS while on a mount is awesome, and I love it when I dont have to go back into dark sight every single time just so I can use Chains of Hell. Of course, ADS can be a problem if you get 1/1'd or need to repot before a monster's next attack. But, I've died about only three times while in ADS so I didnt find that a problem.

[quote] Extreme360 : I'm pretty sure it's 1 CoH for 9 hits of it. [/quote] If that was true, my owl eyes would be gone after one fatal blow+mirror image. It's 9 skills. OWL DEAD IS USEFUL. 1.5x damage is a large boost, bigger then most critical systems. It doesn't always work and it's hard to remember to use, sure, but that's what the quiick tab thing is for. You can see when the cooldown is over. I have personally used owl dead at himes with a priest. Priest lures, one hime always gets away, I used owl dead and get my owl eyes. Priest comes back, my next 9 attacks on the full mob are more powerful and the priest can go out and lure again sooner. I can use owl dead every other time the priest goes out the lure.

dragonice1 : Well, isn't the other skills more useful?

[quote] Extreme360 : dragonice1 : Well, isn't the other skills more useful? [/quote] You've got plenty of SP. What are you going to do? Max nimble body? More damage < a few more avoid points? Maybe double stab? Or maybe endure, yeah, that'd be awesome. You have plenty of SP. I'm pretty sure there's enough to get 18 nimble body, WITHOUT extra SP from skill books. Maxes every attack you get (not double stab), and most of the other side skills.

49% chance to hit in CoH a 2nd or 3rd time. Other than that its useless, dont put anything in it until you have CoH, because you will die.
