You'll get the damage boost but you really don't need 2 teleports. Haste will help you with kiters and with a stance cancel, you'll always have a way out. Thus, having AoD and Shadow of Haste doesn't provide that much more of an advantage. Rather swap out for other daggers and replace AoD with something else.

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. What I meant was if you don't hit with Black Lotus, the option is always there to start your combo with Palm Strike. I'm not saying Palm Strike should always be used as your starter, just that it can be used if Black Lotus doesn't connect. Once again, you can teleport out with Haste using a cancel for it. You don't need AoD for this build.

That's just the thing. With your build as it currently is, you have no stance cancel move (apart from using another Haste to cancel, which won't teleport you to safety).

Tozen, 20 seconds is hardly a ridiculous recharge time, especially in an AB environment (Consider how long the recharge for Black Lotus was BEFORE it got buffed. THAT was a ridiculous recharge time). The hex that Saph is using is also 20 seconds, kinda makes it ideal. Besides, in AB, you aren't ALWAYS attacking something. Most of the time you're mobile, moving from cap point to cap point with your team mates, eliminating the odd threat here and there when you encounter it. And trust me, waiting 20 seconds for Black Lotus to recharge in AB is nothing.
Yes, there is a reason to have Mark of Instability, even when you're using Horns. Two knockdowns leaves your opponent with less of a chance to recover or retaliate. You're applying bleeding, deep wound and poison while interrupting your opponent twice by knocking them down. Mark of Instability is definitely key to this build. |
