Hey,

I am pretty tired with traps and wanted to try something else. I tried blade fury and was very successful with it, but have always wanted to try a proper WW sin. I noticed that the now buffed damage from Bladeshield is quite substantial and thought of making a WW focused in-your-face PVM sin build that is supported with blade sentinels and death traps.

I can't really find out what's what with the current WW mechanics and sins with regards to claws and IAS breakpoints. Also, how impactful is venom actually on bladeshield and ww? Would it be better, for example, to use gloves such as Steelrend instead? Does CB work on Blade shield? I am pretty sure Deadly Strike does.
Chaos, obviously, in I suppose in Suwayyahs or Runic? I'd like some high base damage. Is Fury still the go to for offhand?

Any tips you have would be welcome. And I know it's not gonna be as effective as a trapsin, but I don't care.

Edit - thinking of durability. She's probably gonna break her weapons all the time with WW and bladeshield, though, no?

WW sin is terrible in pvm and will always be terrible until they make the chaos Runeword indestructible. As of now, you spend so much time in town repairing it, nor are you ever able to generate enough gold to constantly repair it.

On top of scaling a sins WW damage by quite abit to make it have a decent clear speed.

Kick is viable and can be fast clearer as well.

Blade fury sin is strong, safe, but slow.
The skill dont pierce, the starting and stopping animation is slow and clunky, which makes casting death sentry a pain.
However, last i checked it had pretty easy 14k blade fury, 10k bladeshield, around 10k blade sentinell. Those 2 last skills can aoe/pierce, and maby their damage is big enought to be usefull now...
Those damages was prior to the 9x% deadly/critic strike. So u can pretty much double them.
