Default Overlooked advantage of Moebius Strike

Well if you notice Moebius Strike which is part of the Shadow Blade template, is an off hand attack that follows a dual attack, while since dual attacks must follow off hands you could use another dual after Moebius.

In otherwords: Moebius Strike allows 2 Dual Attacks in one chain.

Same for repeating strike. If you use a dual attack first you can actually continue to use this skill over and over again till it either misses, or you run out of energy This allows for two (or more) off-hand attacks in a chain.

Which may take a while if you've got a high crit rate

Moebius is kinda like an Assassin's Final Thrust, it's meant to be a killing blow, recharging you for the next target. I agree that it is useful on those tougher enemies tho

I currently use, Lead 4, Offhand 4, Dual 12, Dual 15 (numbers are recharge times). It works fine for me.

My attack string I have been using,

Shock
Falling Spider
Twisting Fangs
Moebius Strike
Repeating Strike (A tad overkill, but usefull)

v's 100 al target -9 seconds.

Moebuis is used purely for complete recharge on next target.

Of course the string has to hit, so you could throw in Way of the Fox for a 4 non evadable/blockable string.

*bad spelling :/

I like leading off initially on Unsuspecting Strike, then Palm Strike, then repeating strikes, then death blossom. When I dont feel like blowing another unsuspecting, I have palm strike to fall back on always. its fun.

This is not an overlooked advantage, this is the only advantage. It allows you to repeat your Dual Attack without going through your chain.

I don't really get the fascination with AoD, I understand how it works, but I wouldn't use it over other elites.

The focus there is not really on the AoD, it's more on the GPS. That skill is very useful, as it lets you jump straight into a dual attack after it without using up an elite (Palm Strike is the other such skill). Aura of Displacement, in that case, is simply a enchantment to enable GPS to hit that also has a useful effect.

As I stated, I understand the enchant to activate GPS, but in my opinion Way of the Fox would be more worth while in that case.

AoD has the same radius when warping to the target as charge but costs more and is -1 pip, I understand that if you extend yourself too far taking off AoD will always take you back to the activation spot, so even if for some reason you are half the map away, you could end up back in complete safety.. maybe not.

If it had a longer distance, say longbow range, then I would consider it.
