I was playing around and came up with this build.
The increased attack speed is insane. I estimated about .5 attack speed. I killed the Master of Healing less than 10 seconds. Sure I'm not the first person who thought of this.
There is the all famous MS+DB=AoE damage. However it took me 20 seconds to kill Master of Healing. The best damage I did 205 damage at 13 seconds.
I was wondering, why is this so underused? Sure it uses a lot of enchantments, but it is strong. Why is MS+DB so popular in PvE? Is it the best PvE assassin skill?
Locust Fury Sin
Zodiac Meteor
Winterclaw
MS+DB= lots of AoE damage.
Anyways, try running your Locus Fury in HM and see if you still think it's great.

Because Target Spike + AoE Armor-ignoring dmg is good... really good...

Locust's Fury is terrible. An attack chain out damages it because attack chains are armor ignoring and autoattacks are not.
Double strikes aren't worth it. The end.
wind fire and ice
Attack chains are armor ignoring,no way auto attacks can match the damage.

Moebius Sin does way more damage than this, plus all the AoE-ness you get out of it. I find that when I play my sin, Crit. Agility is more than enough attack speed, so I find Locust's useless.

Three things:
You have a major rune of dagger mastery...eww You have an e-man skill on a build that relies on auto attacking....eww You have a build that relies on auto attacking..........eww

ok, I was wondering why Locust is so underused. Now I know why, close thread plz.
This wasn't a build promoting, just an example. jsn
20 seconds to kill the master of dmg
anything more then 9 seconds is pretty bad but the bottom line is your going for double strikes,which you get anyways with db.ms spam(since duel attacks always double hit anyways) and the fact that db is the highest dmg dual attack....its just a win/win

It's the most spammable. Twisting Fangs does more (includes deep wound), and Blades of Steel can do more.
Locust's Fury can be used to build adren very quickly for SY. To that end, you can have a hero buff you with Strength of Honor to replace the conjure. Make something stick Barbs and Mark of Pain on your targets and maybe pack some orders. Bring EBSoH, then watch the lol insanity. But of course MS/DB + those above = better lol insanity.

If you're going to rely on Hero support, better to stick to MS-DB with SY! and tag along an Orders guy.
