I was wrong on the dual boosts and stand corrected.  It has been a while since I rolled a half elf.  I forgot they get access to the human boost options.

No. It is 5 Foot who was wrong. Helves all have fetal alcohol syndrome. Sending them into combat is just cruel.

I'm pretty sure it's actually Down Syndrome.

Oops.  You are correct.  I was wrong on the dual boosts and stand corrected.  It has been a while since I rolled a half elf.  I forgot they get access to the human boost options.

Dual boosts aside, I still think an AA + SD based shuriken build will be noticeably behind a DWS + FotW on red-named DPS due to lacking the activated attacks from DWS and imbue damage not scaling with Adrenaline and Fury crits.

For reference, I experimented quite a bit in-game with Tier 5 AA instead of DWS since the build I'm using has access to both.  AA worked well and the DPS was nothing to be ashamed of but DWS was still better.  An extra 2-3 tiers of AA imbues can't compete with the extra damage that Sniper Shot + Merciful Shot + Head Shot provides, even at 300 spell power in the relevant element. 

During a 30s full DPS burn with Furystars, 10ks, boosts, etc., you get all the Fury shots plus 5ish adrenaline shots.  Nothing Shadowdancer has can touch that.


I've been over all this at length. Spike damage is nice, but you're giving up a lot to get it. You get significantly less dex. Significantly less crit range. Significantly less imbue damage (300 spellpower isn't trying very hard). Extremely less sneak attack. Significantly less Ranged Power. Significantly less fort bypass. Significantly more threat gen. No 100 ninja poison damage per crit. No free vorpal. Etc. Etc. It all adds up.

Yes, your active attacks are better, but Executioner Shot, Inferno Shot, and Dispelling Shot are nothing to ignore.

Resisted until now

All tests on Lama show there is NO comparison of a pure monk with a Fury Shuri.

DPS is roughly 2x with a Fury vs Pure monk thrower.

Test sdont lie, do your own research and never listen to 5Foot

Oh ho!  somebody start the timer, we can expect 5 days of rough-trade courtship followed up by another bout of hate-fucking these two always end up being to shamed to admit to afterward.

From my own in-game play, I think the DPS of your AA shuri build is decent.  On just trash killing, it might even be better.  If it is though, it's marginal given how fast shuriken builds regen adrenaline charges.  I can use adrenaline shots at a fairly regular rate during trash clears so while the damage may be spiky, the spikes are consistent.

It still doesn't compare to a FotW build on red-named DPS burns though.  Sniper Shot with KTA, dual boosts, 10kS and Adrenaline Overload quads for 9-13k per star on a debuffed LH Tempest Spine Stormreaver.  You get 3 of those Sniper Shots during Unbridled Fury plus 5 regular adrenaline shots and all the normal attacks in between.  A good Unbridled Fury burn is over 200k dmg in 30s and that's with me being lazy and not using buffs from potions, scrolls, etc.

If I'm missing a "feature", a PM would be welcomed but I don't recall seeing any mention of a feature relevant to an AA-based shuriken build.

Can you make a 12 Arti 5 Sorc and test if the Arti and Sorc lightning bolt SLAs can be cast back to back or if one puts the other on timer?

This build might fall apart and not work, and it might be better than a pure 20 tempest:

You need 12 levels of each to take each SLA. This is not possible with current DDO techmology.

No I wasn't implying that man, I was just hassling 5FS for the repeated use of "Significantly" that's all man. Embarrassing joke fail for Grand.

No, the sorc one is T5, so takes a level 12 character.

The arti ones takes 12 arti levels.

A 12 Arti 5 Sorc can have both.

Hahaha.  You had me wracking my brain trying to figure out if I'd missed something good.   That should comfort you a little at least.    Cool
