Hmm, well this is my first attempt at a shuri build. My understanding was that Shuri Expertise and Advanced Ninja Training both counted as "base" attacks for 10k Stars, which would essentially mean multiplying those 10k Stars values by 2.6 (assuming 80 dex). So with each animation you would have 100% chance of 1 attack, 43.6% chance of 6 attacks, ~1% chance of 9 attacks, and ~1^-7% chance of 12 attacks.

Is this not corect? In my testing I simply quantified it as "a shitload" when I ran around destroying everything in EE ToEE until I got bored.

True the alacrity quiver becomes less appealing if I end up using the dragon masque. T5 harper would also free up a ring slot....

Like I said, going to test out different setups.

Posting 2 seperate posts in a row, cuz editing posts is too mainstream.

I assume u mean the epic quiver of alacrity? Dont ur monk bones make you quiver at the sight of it? (Pun intended).

-50 concentration is not good. Not good at all  xD. Whats ur concentration? Prolly not much more than 80... leaving ur concentration at x, too lazy to switch to call an asian, but its friggin' low.

Cant remember what u said ur regen is at, but the amount of shit you place above ur fan is multiplied by ur passive regen + 1.

Also, speed is useless above lvl 27 at least (just noticed quiver is ML 20, still processing). Blinding speed gives +22% attack speed.

This brings me to something i noticed a few weeks ago... if i believe my C sheet, haste spell no longer gives +22% ranged speed, but 15%. The lvl 27 feat blinding speed does however. If memory serves me right it gives 22 on lama again atm.

Oh, wiki says the quiver gives doublestrike rather than doubleshot. Funny how turbine employees manage to fail at the most basic of tasks, like distinguishing between words. Kindof makes words useless if you cant do this. I guess this makes distinguishing between homonyms like rocket science for em.... Yearly assessment at turbine: pls slide into the cannon as to not ruin the suspense..... Firing ppl is hard yo.

Stealth strike... meh, improved deception procs a lot with stars. If not, the estar challenge cloak is one of the few interesting cloaks out there, if u like seeker.

I use house avithoul seal, beats the backstabbers gloves cuz theres the iron mitts or sanctified gages to slide onto ur nimble hands instead.

With 10K stars build, do you just skip having dshot item?

Honestly, if i had a reason to tr out of sorc or barb on main and alt and palie from alt, id most prolly make a ranger rogue monk based thrower build just to show proof how it excels all other builds.

Sadly enough, 5 months break so no possible way to do it now.
I never understood the tensor vs no tensors, any build can have tensors, scrolls are cheap yo

Unless there is some kind gamebreaking abusing bug in wizzys tensors, then really i have no idea why people push wizz and artie for thrower builds, they cost you so much dps

After so many years playing the game, I got to the point where I couldn't be arsed to keep scrolls up any more. Too much work, not enough time for optimum dps so builds with on/off switches and few clickies were welcome here. Especially after long work days. Seeing Teth boost up for that Barb DPS vid made my wrists hurt just watching it.

Edit: It was soloing and Displacement scrolls on a Pally (pre enhancement pass) that did it, I remember now. 30 second bastards.

Even if they could, if you're swapping to scrolls every 66 seconds to buff, you're fucking up.

Some of these "builds" I see require you spend most of your time dropping in and out of stances and throwing scrolls, chugging pots and hitting other clickies. When the fuck do these people find the time to actually deal damage?

For me, it's ADHD. I can still forget a toggle, but I only have to remember it once.

Yes, Tensor's up full time is very nice and the EK tree isn't that bad for a thrower.  The Wizard levels are ok, but most useful spells are on equipment and scrolls these days.  I just don't see how it's hands down better or better at all than other builds is all....

Sorry for the lazy query but is Hum 20 Mnk worth TRing into if you're already a Halfling with a Mnk/Rog hybrid build? Better enough to be worth the slog back to cap? Not inclined to TR given how Halfling works well but if this is much better then I'll think on.
