Bunch of incorrect jibber jabber based on incorrect claims by you only further proving you can't see the forest for the trees.

On a toon with a total 80% avoidance sans Elusive Target, you would have to get attacked 500 times to get 100 hits checked against Elusive Target assuming it gets checked after all normal avoidance rolls (which the text descriptions makes it sound like it does).  Congrats on avoiding 5 extra attacks out of every 500.  What's that work out to?  Like 1 or 2 extra hits avoided per mission?  Yeah, you're right... that's amazing.

Oh, now I see.  You care about Vault cred.  Maybe you can buy some through Paypal for your busted ass reputation.

Re: 5FS, he misunderstood the context of my comment, which admittedly, I probably could have been more clear on but in general, he is pretty reasonable in his posts and not a raging shit worm like you, so I didn't see the need in debating it with him.  You should stop hiding behind his comments like a little bitch and stand on your own merits.  Actually, given the massive comprehension failures in your recent posts, you probably shouldn't.

Nice spin attempt to cover being dead wrong after spending pages claiming you were the second coming of math jesus...  I'll refer you to the above statement about avoiding 5 extra hits out of every 500 above.  You care about vault cred and then you claim some stupid crap like that is 1000x better than other options?  1000 eh?  By all means, show us the math to back that one up, Einstein wannabe.

1 out of 100.  1%.  1 extra avoided hit out of 100 attacks.  That's not very useful.  The only thing lower than the usefulness of that is your IQ apparently. 

The cooldown makes WTtT pretty mediocre, too, but since it can trigger on hits and misses, it will likely trigger more than ET on a toon that has >80% total avoidance chance.  I never claimed it was amazing.  I just said it was as good or better than Elusive Target.  Even so, I personally wouldn't take this feat any more than I would take Elusive Target.

you just said no one would ever use...

for me, spite is at 10, and morning lord is 8. that is 45 for spite vs 28 for morninglord.  morning would need 6 damage less to be behind by double. my bad, fam.

dawnbringer is way behind, like every other star before RL, at 9w 1d2= 13. bit more than double for morning vs dawn, and more than triple for spite vs dawn. 


With blitz, kta, and prowess melee boost running, spite is around 200 more per front number than dawn, and around 100 more than morning.

Yep. vacuum is important. I usually swap to lgs to keep bosses/portals stacked for groups. I rarely solo.


harharharhar wrote on Feb 23^rd, 2018 at 2:08pm:

I'm getting 600 on dawn, 800 on spite. outside of reaper, no vac stacked ( using ship canon ).

harharharhar wrote on Feb 23^rd, 2018 at 2:08pm:


I removed improved deception from my gear. Mainly because I dont need it for low reaper or elite, if I am soloing. In a group I usually have bunch of OP shintaos with me. Most trash is stunned, jaded, or intim'd.

If I really need the improved deception, I can swap out perfect pinnacle for it. it's also what i use to swap for elemental absorption rings when in baba and strahd.

I still havent purchased all the raid gear either, despite having 4k baba runes. being cheap and hoping I pull or roll them. I did purchase the goggles for the mrr. my gear in the interim is; 

silent set
cc trinket dodge/ resistance
cc bracers spell saves/ hamp/ I con
slavers neck ( con item )
ex helm
pinnacle
ring of prowess
crumbling gloves
ritchen goggles
FoM boots

it's lazy, but more than good enough for everything atm.  boots could be better and i dont like having to lose con for spell absorb swaps since it is on trinket, but I'll deal with it. overall worse than the set i posted for silent+adherent set up, though I do get spell saves this way, handy for evasion tanking caster bosses on high skulls.

Yes, vulnerability stacking doesn't seem to be a given anymore, even in raids.  I've noticed the need to swap to a Vaccum to get vulnerability maxed has become more frequent since the RL freebie weapons.

I like LGS Salt for soloing.  It significantly increases the safety factor by serving as a ghetto form of CC. 

Plus, while I don't know if there is a scientifically sound way to prove it, actual gameplay gives me the impression that slowing the mobs may reduce the number of shuriken hits that fail to register due to lag.  If that perception is accurate, while Salt may not add directly to DPS like Radiance does, it may do so by proxy.

Good to know it's not just me on vulnerability.

Don't have salt but do occasionally switch to Shimmering Arrowhead (plus Tendon Slice on Slavers) for extra CC when party CC is light on sketchier reaper runs. Would be awesome to try salt too, I imagine mobs would just move like they're in sleet storm.

I do think you may be right about lag induced shuri whiffs, though I think it's much better than it has been at times in the past when they really nerfed it and everything was missing when moving.

Since we're talking about swaps:

I agree, vulnerability is not a given anymore. It is worth it to swap in vaccuum (or TF) for a few throws every once in a while to keep in stacked. Preferably while 10k is on cooldown.

Reinvigoration is so good of a swap on this build that I usually have it on by default, (for the +1 max charge to each boost) and then swap out to the others as needed. I don't think I stressed before how good it is to have your best boosts recharging while trying to maintain 100% boost uptime for combat brute/deadly rain.

Rebellion is still really good for double Improved Deception though (or to keep it on while you swap out your other Improved Deception item, or until they fix Echo.) Like others have said, if you're in a group and somehow not pulling aggro, then this one isn't so important, but I know that I'm running 8 minute solo FoT completions trying to get a mythic one.

Lastly, I'm thinking to drop KtA to 2/3 ranks and then to put the KtA Int stick into a set with an affirmation shuri (devotion/hamp/hamp) so while 10k is on cooldown you can swap, cocoon, refresh KtA, and then toss a few shots until affirmation procs. Then you have 10k, KtA, Affirmation all coordinated on a 60 second interval and take advantage of the extra HAmp. It's nice to hit the 60 second Unmovable boost at this point as well if you're just killing trash or whatever instead of red name DPSing.

Updated build post with math:

175.5 average base sneak attack (15d6 + 82 hide mod + 14 SoS boost + 27 from deception) * 6.22 (1.5 * 348 RP=522 effective RP)= 1091.61 * 4 (200% ANT/SE + 100% DS) = 4366.44 * 1.05 relentless fury = 4584.762 of just sneak attack damage per animation. (no helpless) * 2.75 (helpless mod) = 12608.0955


10.3[d2+3] + 21 enhancement + 47 dex + 15 KtA +19 deadly + 5 Advancing Blows + 4 ninjutsu + 3 monk PLs = 155.35 * 1.75 (crit profile) = 271.8625+27.5 (25 seeker) = 299.3625 * 4.48 (RP) = 1341.144 * 4 (ANT/SE/DS) = 5364.576 * 1.05 relentless fury = 5632.8048 red name * 2.75 (helpless) = 15490.2132

plus

9 Hemorrhaging + 10.5 CW Ruby + 30 sting + 4.5 quiver + 15 FC + 1100 glass shards = 1164.5 * 4 (ANT/SE/DS) = 4658 * 1.2 vulnerable = 5589.6

= 15807.1668 average red name damage per animation while auto attacking
x1.4 animations per second = 22130.03352 red name auto attack damage per second

=33687.9087 average trash mob damage per animation while auto attacking
x1.4 animations per second = 47163.07218 trash mob auto attack damage per second
 

Weapon Versatility will only work with daggers/T. daggers after an upcoming patch(possibly this week). So, back to RP after that. They may also fix prowess to be 75 (as stated) vs 100 MP, not that it would matter anymore for shuri builds.
