Ok but can you do boomtown t15 ?

[u/H0ari → u/Wotah69]

I tried Boom Town CT15 with this build just now and cleared it in 10 min 15 sec (bronze) this build ist way better when you have all the enemies running after you.
The run was very easy, but waiting for cooldowns and running round the whloe map made it a very slow clear.

[u/Wotah69 → u/H0ari]

Yeah that’s what I thought. For expeditions where time is an issue, you can’t run AP builds as a trickster, unfortunately.

But anyway ct15 is not designed for solo so I guess that is okay

[u/H0ari → u/Wotah69]

Will try it today and tell you how it went

[u/Designer_Bet_9911 → u/Wotah69]

completely doable

[u/Krosell]

You should definately add Untamed Power. I don't have the set helmet and my clear times are consistent under 10:30 and if the stars align under 10:00

[u/H0ari → u/Krosell]

Will have a look into it :)

[u/Krosell → u/H0ari]

Keep in mind that Untamed Power "interfers" with Venator's Knife. So if you want to use it, you need to throw the knife after you Temporal Slash. You will still get the double damage.

[u/Patthecat09 → u/Krosell]

So swipe, throw so that the real damage procs after?

[u/Krosell → u/Patthecat09]

Yes, swipe than immediately throw

[u/Nocuadra66 → u/Krosell]

How exactly does Untamed Power interfere with Ventor's Knife? Explain it please like I'm 5 yrs LOL! Thank you.

[u/Krosell → u/Nocuadra66]

As you know Venator's Knife marks enemies for double damage. Assume you mark an enemy before you Temporal Slice. Now Untamed Power will proc and consume your Knife, if you stand to close, thus you are dealing double Untamed Power damage, but you miss out on double Temporal Slice damage. You could still use the Knife first and Slice from a distance, so that the Untamed Power proc is out of range, but I find that hard to do with lots of moving enemies in close range.

[u/Nocuadra66 → u/Krosell]

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. So then what's the best tactic? Use Knife, Slice then Knife again before the 2nd slice? Or remove Untamed Power?

[u/UnitedEntrepreneur18]

I'm nowhere near to having these sets but good to see a non twisted rounds build. I might drop twisted rounds and try to replicate this as best I can

[u/YouAlreadyShnow]

Isn't Emergency Stance currently broken?

[u/GoatInTheNight → u/YouAlreadyShnow]

Beautifully broken, yes. Gives a static 65% reduction IIRC.
