Dual Blades/Psionic Armor??

[Obsidian Blue]

I made this toon wanting to try out Psi armor and choose DB for my primary. I'm only lvl12 so far and I'm finding DB to be disappointing in damage output. Naturally nothing slotted out yet and just wondering does DB get better? The one thing I've notice looking at DB builds is that everyone seems to take nimble slash and I skipped it. Is nimble slash really that necessary of a power to take?

 

 

Thanks for any help given

Slotting and use of Blinding Feint, as well as the Sweep/Empower combos will help, greatly. IIRC, Nimble slash is part of both of those.

Thanks for the advice

Dual Blades comes online late with lots of recharge to help stack Blinding Feint.  Sweeping strike is the gem of the set, a cone that does the damage of a ST attack.

It's one of the best damage sets.  Start using Empower, until you can use Blinding Feint > Attack Vitals Combo > Repeat, after that, you use a non combo set of attacks (need sets and Epic Pool attack) which relies on Blinding Feint > Alabating Strike > Sweeping Strike > Alabating Strike > Epic or BF > AS > SS > Epic or Nimble Strike (if Epic isn't recharged).

 

You'll also generally be using Procs too.
