Locust's fury sin idea, the imbasin

All those people suggesting buffs: figure they'd go well on a Blossom spammer, too?

@ Igor: Morgahn spreads the love. Mainly for Hayda and for any adren junkie brave enough to join my team. FGJ! = selfish.

I use a variant of that build and essentially came up with it because I felt lazy and didn't care about spamming attacks. 1-2-3 is too much work so i just c space, spam sy and maintain enchants. Lets me do other things while i go into automode with gw.

...did you just say that 1-2-3 is too much work?

...This, people, is why GW has gotten stupidly easy

If I'm hero-henching, I can't give [pain inverter] to anyone else.

Wow, people really don't read very carefully.

blindness is really anoing to, but dismiss condition or other anti condition skills on your orders hero help a lot.
and well, after finishing proph with moebius it became a bit boring and i want something else.

That's not really the Point.

The Point is, that you don't suffer from any Block.

[Whirlwind attack]>[Pain inverter]

if you have groups around you whirlwind is a winner with Vamp Daggers and OoV

Wow, people really don't read very carefully. Then don't take it.

[Rigor Mortis] is a life saver against blocking enemies (give it to a hero). Or, take a stance removal, as a lot of blocking comes in the form of stances.

Since double strikes are technically two different attacks, couldn't you activate it before the second hit in the double strike lands?

@Xenomortis Yeah, you're already /W so take Wild Blow. it's an awesome skill!

OK, try vanqing or doing HM dungeons with [whirlwind attack] and fail when enemy casters fry you. Then try it with [pain inverter] and win when they fry themselves instead.

Adorable that people are sleeping on [pain inverter]. Next to ["save yourselves!" (luxon)], it's probably the single best hero-henching skill in the whole game.

And anyway...the whole question is completely irrelevant to the thread. If you don't like [pain inverter], don't bring it. End of story.

Argh, stop arguing about it, their both good in their own respect. Physical characters typically don't and shouldn't use Pain inverter in general PvE use. Sure, Pain inverter = certain death, but stuff blows up far too often, not to mention 10 energy is a lot for most physicals to be dealing with.

It also generally works against the goal and 'feel' (so to say)l of whatever a physical may be running, whereas Whirlwind works WITH physical builds.

It is an undeniably good skill though, especially with Assassin's Promise, and you should definitely bring it when dealing with any bosses that deal AoE

Well, I never sad that DB/MS can't be blocked.

With Locust's you don't really suffer, because there is no recharge for your attacks. That's qwhat i meant to say.

pain inverter is good stuff yeah, and the 10 energy is not a big problem for an locust sin.
you dont have attack skills you need to pay for.
but asuran scan is nice to, just tried it.
only downside is that in HM armor can be an problem.
the +** damage from attack skills is armor ignoring but your O_O fast attacks are not.
i use vampiric daggers for this build now, dont need zealous for energy, and vampiric adds an nice +3 damage cloud.

The only way your gonna get fried is if you stand there [Whirlwind attack] is a better option for you if your melee.
