![]() For PvP situations, to get more use of perks like Refreshing Evasion, you can opt for Future Endeavors instead, further boosting your Stamina recovery. This is because we’ll want to go in, do our burst rotation and either get out or swap the Rapier for more consistent DPS output. Most notably with this setup, the Ramp passive is much more optional, unless we want the Blunderbuss to be the main damage source of the build. Compared to Rapier’s Fleche, Net Shot offers more utility and less damage making it a better disengage tool and can allow the Rapier to focus a bit more on damage output. This setup allows us to very quickly gap close with Claw Shot, while also having both a powerful slow and escape option in Net Shot. Specifically, we’ll be using the Containment-only setup of Azoth Shrapnel Blast, Net Shot and Claw Shot. As such, we’ll be using a variation of the Burst Combo build from the Blunderbuss Weapon Guide. The main thing this skill tree looks to accomplish is to maximize the burst potential of the weapon. This is due to a lack of access to reliable crits from backstab lowering that potential. On the opposite side, the Rapier lacks consistent cooldown reduction while soloing. ![]() These quick combos generally have a pretty lengthy cooldown compared to those of the Rapier, which has a higher cooldown reduction potential in group play. It offers a lot of potent burst damage combos thanks to its ability to interrupt basic attack animations with skills that also have quick animations. The Blunderbuss ends up being more of a secondary weapon in group play but can easily be used as the primary weapon of this pairing, especially while solo or in PvP. The Rapier is also quite flexible in what it can do, allowing it to function as either a damage or utility option depending on if you want to use the build for PvE or PvP. Unlike a Mage build which will often suffer at closer ranges, this build thrives on being at those closer ranges for maximum damage potential. Doing so will also have the added benefit of ignoring an enemy’s armor value, which is particularly good for some enemies that often have high armor values like Elites. This allows us to change our elemental type to take on various content much easier. ![]() Due to how this build is set up, it will deal a good mix of both Physical and Elemental Damage, which can allow it to deal with some threats much easier.Īll of our Elemental damage will come from Gems, which we’ll cover more heavily in the Gearing and Stats section of this guide. The Elemental Assassin build is all about getting up close and dealing consistent damage through DoT effects and incredibly strong burst damage from skill rotations.
