Ususpecting Strike
Wild Strike
Critical Strike
Critical Eye
Critical Defenses
Locust Fury
2 slots free for anything needed, Fury can be left out in favor of sth else(for ex. an alternate offhand like Temple Strike)...
It's pretty obvious how it works, but just to be sure...
cast Fury
cast Eye
cast defenses when close enough to strike effectively
it should produce a reasonable number of criticals, so energy isn't an issue and critical defenses keeps going...

Stats are:
critical 12+1+3
dagger 12+1
anything 3+1

I'm using shrouded armor...

So what do you think?

If you want to keep Critical Defenses going, Wild Blow is a good option.

wild blow has the bad habit of not recharging in time to keep critical defenses up.

Ill take critical strike over wild blow any day because of that fact.

How does wild blow help with crits, i read the skill and still dont get it, explain

Kwisatz_Haderach · May 18, 2006, 05:13 PM // 17:13

i gives an automatic critcal strike, so critical defenses stays up almost constantly.

And remember, this is the unlinked Warrior skill Wild Blow, not the Assassin offhand Wild Strike. Wild Blow is generally superior, as while it does not have +damage, it is an automatic critical and cannot be blocked or evaded.

That's a good idea, but why not have both?
It's something i'm trying out, because especially since Critical Strike is a Dual Attack, it takes a while before you can use it again because of the Lead and the Offhand.
