The Blackbird: Human Warshade Build

[SableShrike]

I did a thing.  My project for the holidays, if you will.

 

This came about as a reaction to purple Quantum bosses hosing me at range before I could get an Eclipse off or stun them.  Ranged Defense = Quantum shots miss.

 

This works best if you're blasting "Turbo Killer" by Carpenter Brut.

 

Key points:

32.5% Ranged (one small Luck hits the 45% cap)

Perma Eclipse and Hasten

Maxed Hover speed with Evasive Maneuvers (your Extracted Essences fly with you natively)

Easy attack rotation: Shadow Blast, Dark Detonation, procced Gravitic Emanation, Gravity Well, and Quasar

(Ebon Eye I only really use exemping or leveling; you'll be too busy siphoning, raising the dead, or lining up a Stun cone to miss it lategame.  You could drop Detonation for Orbiting Death and then use Eye, but I found having Death locks you into melee too much.  Half the fun is flitting about between Ranged and Melee.  Also, the mitigation from Detonation’s knockdown is notable; you can juggle spawns with two your three AoE knockdowns.)

 

****Final update, promise.  Hit 50 and have been running Trials.  Shadow Slip wasn't getting much use, so I dropped it for Hasten again.  Arcana time in Mids seems wrong for Ebon Eye now?  It activates in 1.5 ingame, making it better DPA than Shadow Bolt by far.  Plus Eye is natively accurate and procs better than Bolt.***
