For those interested, here are my stats and skills so far:







No points into any sort of traps and don't plan on any going there.

For now my plan is going to be:

20 Claw Mastery
20 Fists of Fire
20 Claws of Thunder
20 Phoenix Strike
17 (total of 17 with +skills) Shadow Master
1 Cloak of Shadows
1 Mind Blast
Rest into Fade

We'll see if I have to end up adjusting it as I go along. For now it's working out pretty well.

is this the competition to the other topic?

goodluck folks

Nope! Just having fun

Get shadow warrior to a decent level with spare points and it will use Phoenix strike alongside you

Nice to see a couple of MA sin walkthroughs on the go

Good luck, looks fun! I like her name by the way.

Been pretty busy but hopefully some updates later today. I’m up to river of flame in nightmare and have been only progressing on P8 but I’ve been doing meph reruns on P1 and it’s still incredibly slow. Does anyone have experience with a Phoenix Strike build? I tried to respec and get 20 points into venom while having much lower Phoenix synergies for now and it didn’t seem to help any. I have to run fade because my resistances are terrible but it seems like my attack speed is the issue. What do you guys suggest? Should I get gear with better resistance so I can run burst of speed? Or try to keep going for better claws or bartucs and perhaps more ias?
