AA Shuriken

Print Post  
I posted about this general concept a long time ago, but back then it was just pointing out that Arrow of Slaying and Adrenaline were still working on shuriken, which made for some nice (if a bit gimmicky) burst shuriken builds.

With the changes to AA on Lama right now though, another thing has shown up that makes this much more appealing.  The toggle of imbues (also a bug that is still working) now makes elemental arrows pretty powerful.  With 148 acid spell power, I was getting about 80 dmg/shuriken with the acid imbue (plus it's obviously a nice perk to get 8% more fort bypass through the T5).

The capstone giving +2 more DEX and doubleshot not being screwed by builds with 10K stars is also nice.

20 monk on 10k would give 100% doubleshot, but with items past life enanchements etc u can reach more, so often do a tripleshot, core2 of ninja quadruple shot, shuriken expertise pentashot

your idea could be interesting, but i think after update 20 monk will be best (also if u really love AA you can do an elf or half elf 20 monk)

20 Elf Monk wouldnt be too bad, provided the AA tree effects shuri still?

easily obtain 80 dex (my live 12m/8r has 85 iirc), 20 monk = 100% DS, Core 2 ninja = 80% (DS%=Dex), Expertise Feat = 80% (DS%=Dex). Another 50% from gear/Enhancments/ED pastlifes puts you at a solid 310% Doubleshot, resulting in a guaranteed 4 stars per throw (300% DS + first star) , with a chance at a 5th (Remaining 10% DS).

Furthermore you have 10k stars, which now also improves RP 50% of the time (30 second use, 30 second cooldown) which will give another hypothetical (40 wis shouldnt be too hard to get on a Dex>Wis>Con monk) 40% dmg to those stars, which is effectively throwing a 5th star at 50% instead of 10%.

200 dmg average per star(no imbues) * 4.1 stars per toss * 40RP =1148 dmg per volley, each volley takes ~.6 seconds to throw with whirling wrist twisted and the other throwing speed modifiers, so in the 30 seconds of 10k - 57400 @ approximately 50 throws. not too shabby for a 1d4 weapon ^-^

AA tree is terrible except for the Capstone and questionably Slayer Arrow.

And to get those two things you would need to spend almost 60 AP.

Will it play? Yeah, it will be mostly fine. Will it be good? No not particularly.

It's a d2 weapon.

I wont know with a DPS test but I still think 14 Monk 6 Ranger will be a lot better, Drow or Halfling.

Also lets talk about your alleged 85 Dex:

20 Base
7 Level Ups
7 Tome
4 Tensers
4 Monk
2 Racail
2 Other Tree Enhancement
2 Profane
1 Globe
4 Insight
12 Enhancement
2 Completionist
2 Yugo
-------------------
That's 69. You could get maybe another 2 or 3 in trees depending on how you spend AP. So 71 or 72ish max.

How on a 12/8 split are you getting 85?

that "2d weapon" is second only to long bows for DPS, nigger.  you must be a halfling, and you have to twist in whirrling wrists from shiradi.  DPS damage over time, you can either increase the damage (long bow power) or cut down on the time (shuriken rate of fire).

how do you faggots not know this stuff?

  I guess I assumed if they don't even have the time to put together a decent product in their game, they wouldn't have the time to troll around here to see what to nerf.  Smiley

the only reason i mentioned what i did about force lines affectin untyped damaged is because they've knownw about it for a while, and after two attemps, a REAL fix is in the offing; the ship has sailed on that one.

whoa, Whoa, WHOA!  NO FUCKING BODY has an 85 dex, even using every pot, alchmical buff, gear, etc; in the game.  max unbuffed is 58...and that assumes you're putting nothing into constitution and using a full ED dex line (i.e. shiradi). 

whoever is claming that shit is outta control!

With shadow dodge now only adding +3 not +6, i can hit 92 dex. My current buffable to 82, + 6 from ED tree, +4 from twists.

Used to be able to hit 95 (96 with +7 tome)


Max with no gear/enhancments/buffs is 34 - 20 base, 7 level ups, 7 tome

Not that it's optimal, but I think you can get higher if willing to splash warlock for "you can not evade me."

Does warlock get Tensers by lvl 5? if not.. you lose either evasion, or evasion.. and then are restricted to using tenser scrolls every 30 seconds, which sucks but is doable. (Minimum 6 monk for tier 2 core/tier4 stances)

Tenser's is alchemical and does not stack with other alchemical bonuses.

Hms.. maybe my potions are special then? Collectable goodie potions, while tensors is on, increases dex by 3. ~shrug~ still, 81 dex current/82 with 7 tome.

Yeah, the store pots stack with regardless of whatever they say. But that means you counted it twice.
