We need to have healing, and so we have the Life Staff.
#RAPIER DEX TO DAMAGE TORRENT#
That Feral Rush root from behind is amazing to secure kills in PVP too.Ībilities Used: Berserk, Feral Rush, Raging Torrent With the right healing abilities set up, you could just heal back and never stop fighting. Oh, and our ultimate ability, Defy Death! How can I forget that? When you drop to 0 HP, you avoid death and gain Immortality for 3 seconds. We use the synergy traits of Dispatch (If target is below 30% Health, Feral Rush deals 20% more) and Crippling Strikes (if it hits a target in the back, roots them immediately for 2 seconds) It does amazing damage, at 115 and 130% weapon damage respectively. It’s a sprinting melee attack that leaps forward and hits twice. Finally, for people who are running away if you decide to PVP (or just to close the gap and fight faster), you can use Feral Rush. We partner Berserk with Raging Torrent to make four fast attacks, and each deals 90% weapon damage. These all happen through the traits underneath Berserk in the Berserker Tree. Berserk Mode also has a passive healing effect, which is grand. It’s going to be very hard to get away once you’ve closed in on your opponent. The Hatchet’s Berserk Mode is amazing since it increases your damage and movement speed.
#RAPIER DEX TO DAMAGE FREE#
One of the best things to be aware of, is respeccing is free until level 20, so you have a lot of time to really figure things out. Rapiers are pretty great one on one damage, but for CC and AOE, they fall a bit flat. Muskets for example are mediocre, but they shine hard in Fort Defense. Not everyone’s gonna agree with what the best or worst is. This isn’t to say you should never use the “low tier” weapons. Ultimately, all the weapons are pretty good, but they have strengths and weaknesses. I’ve swapped around a few times while exploring, and haven’t been too disappointed. They also have a wealth of passives to pick from, and an Ultimate ability. Each weapon has a pair of talent trees, and you can have three abilities at a time. Then when you go up a level, you can pick an ability. You’ve got to push forward to more challenging things if you want decent XP. Killing enemies gives you Weapon Mastery, but you can’t just stay on the weakest enemies forever. You can have two weapons on at once, and swap between the two at will with your 1 and 2 buttons (default).
If you decide you aren’t happy with a weapon, for now, you can equip something else. That’s an important thing to know as well, before going in. Since each weapon has its own Mastery levels, you can have separate skills for all of them. That said, I haven’t really come across many good ones, and the DPS I have on my other weapons has been good enough.
Now, Hatchet’s being heralded as the best weapon for pure, unadulterated DPS right now.
