SW3>Hop1>Cor3>Shinobi
All STR or all DEX?
Or is it something like all DEX if you have the best items in the game because it scales better, but STR if you’re starting out with no gears yet?
Thanks
Hop2 benefits pierce type, But since your going Shinobi, Sword 3 is a must for those nice damage.
Instead of going Hop1, u should go for Barb1 for the Cleave Slash Debuf which should benefit your Double Slash.
Though I never verified it myself, any barbarians here can verify the slash debuff of Cleave?
Tested exactly those R?-R?-R5-7-Shinobi builds during the reset events
since your prime damage comes from your the period your Bunshins are active you should focus them.
Here are the test results I still got lying around
Shinobi Build Test
INV STATS
STR 123
CON 27
DEX 181
Golem Test [Aspersion Buff only] Build SW1-Hi2-Bar1-Shin
2:15 = 135
2:10 = 130
2:25 = 145 -> 410s
Golem Test [Aspersion Buff only] Build SW3-Bar1-Shin
2:10 = 130
1:55 = 115
1:45 = 105 -> 350s
Golem Test [Aspersion Buff only] Build SW2-Hop2-Shin (Weapon was inferior to the one used in the 2 former tests 3,9% extra time)
2:00 = 1:56 = 116
2:10 = 2:05 = 125
1:10 = 1:07 = 67 -> 308s
My R5-7 was Squire btw.
As you can see the SW3 Barb1 isnt bad that bad.
However I noticed that actually the extra crit rate you get from hoplites finestra really does the trick resulting in that one very quick kill which basicly can only happen when you got enough crit.
So my recommendation would be to go High DEX (75 - 150 STR) or even full DEX
Ofc, if you like the SW3 version more then your focus should NOT be in DEX, max. 120 for extra speed
Thanks for the breakdown, though I’m still new and I’m not sure what your times are referring to.
Is it the time you take to kill the Golem?
Meaning SW3-Bar1-Shin took you 350s to kill the golem, and Build SW2-Hop2-Shin was faster and only took 308s?
that’s correct
those times at the end are the summarized time for 3 runs
