Idk whether dual claws like fools/fury or fools/plague
Or
Phase blade and shield like last wish/pheonix or death/pheonix

I'm going to attempt strong light sentry damage while getting enough damage and AR on blade fury to actually snipe people.

This could be a very annoying defensive build to duel lol. Sit in traps and throw BF until it's time to dragon flight and kick for final blow.

Any experiences shared will be welcome


(Tried this build randomly when my friends told me they were having a "set char" tournament in 2hrs. So I threw a Nats sin together real quick and accidentally tried this in the tourney and it did surprisingly well with freaking Nats set lololol)

Enough LS for damage and use blade fury to proc open wounds

Build around that

That's the idea

Have you tried blade fury in pvm? The first one is really slow. Practice first killing some monsters, i'm sure you will hate it.

Went blade fury / blade sentry / whirlwind and was slapping in some duels today with temp gear

Nice

Well, i got some info here YOu easy max out at 14-15k damage with 65 fcr and 97% chance to double that to like 28k+...

Since u reach like almost 1,4k base physical damage in the skill itself a pheonix will add inzane ammounts of damge. AS well as giving u 10max fr and 5 max lr.
And the claw does not need to be eth and inzane damage, but ofc it help if it is, however AR + Deadly strike and ctc amp is best possible mods in claw.

I would not even bother with trap dmg, the slow starting and stopping animation of blade fury makes it clunky.
Rahter put up some wofs for a little stun when needed, keep ur godly bladehsield dmg up, prespam some blade sentinels as cover and use bf as main attack.
Any form of KB would ofc be great as well, pierce do not work with the skill. So if ur jumped by a druid or any other char with summon, just hope that bladeshield/mb/bladesentinell removes those summons instant. Ofc same when u jump other, if bladeshield is strong enought to remove summons on first tick, then u can actually slam 32k damaga blade fury with ctc amp in their face! If perf items ofc. Else its 28k...

Yeah been back n forth between pheonix and dual claw. Made a chaos to ww out when I get telestomped. Dual claw is much better block but pheonix damage is sweeet. Got a lot more testing to do...

You may play around with that assa.
As you can see that version its statted for 70% block with pheonix. It has 85fr, 85lr, 20% cold absorb cnbf and inzane ar. And ends then at 3,5k life...
High cube casted fade level as well...
But i added other claws as well. U can play around in that planner and test...
Just add some offhand +trap claw, or chaos or bartucs or jade talon's and play around as a claw block setup. Takes a few seconds to make those items..
On that version i have skilled clawblock as well...

I remember trying it with plague and such as well. But there was only like max 2k damage difference...
But i guess the cheapest claw which would be good is:
Fool's, LOLO, ctc amp or KB.

Ctc amp may not be so important due to u already have inzane dmg... Kb might be better...
