General Info
Dubious Camoran Throne
Start on bow bar and weave lights between skills. Power Extraction for Brutality, Caltrops, Hail, Injection, switch bars, Focus, Trap and then weave lights with Surprise attacks and a bash. Killer blade in execute phase. Use spectral bow when needed.
Simple and very high damage.
With correct CP allocation I was getting over 26k with Surprise Attacks and Bashing alone on crit (this is with full penetration from team assuming Alkosh and Crushing Torug's is in play. Fully Buffed). I will save the full DPS for you as a surprise. It is pretty insane.
Bash alone crits for 8600 on crit, add that to Surprise Attack and light attack crit. (which it will due to 74% Weapon Crit) you can see the potential damage here.
Thief Mundus will give you 86% Crit Chance but 74% is more than enough and benefits of Shadow are tremendous with Leviathan set.
Champion Point Tips
Ritual Tree
Piercing: 100 (This is due to noone in group having Sunderflame at the time. If it is, you only need 25 points here.)
Precise Strikes: 100
Mighty: 0 (You can put 5 in here if Sunderflame is in play.)
Thaumaturge: 20
Atronach Tree
Master at Arms: 30 (you can put 100 in here if Sunderflame is in play.)
The Lover Tree:
Mooncalf: 100
Tenacity: 100
The Tower Tree:
Bashing Focus: 50
The Steed Tree:
Iron Clad: 100
Spell Shield: 100
The Lord Tree
Quick Recovery: 50
This is assuming you have 750 cp and 250 for each section. Lower CP's will have to adjust, just remember at lower CP Penetration is king but if Alkosh, Torug Crushing and Sunderflame is in play then 25 is all you will ever need with this armor and skill set up. Discuss with your group and make sure before hand. THEY SHOULD BE RUNNING THESE SETS IN TRIALS!
If you are in 4 man vet content then 100 in Precise will have you covered if above sets are lacking which they usually are. Solo content you will only need 25 points due to enemy armor values being a lot lower.
GG have fun Sword and Board DPS has arrived.
Haha yes I am so gonna do this. I think your CP allocation could use a bit of fine tuning but I understand why you put 100 points into Precise Strikes due to Leviathan. I run Hundings so I might have to fiddle around a bit before I give this a go.
Hmm. Only viable due to Arms of Relequen being BiS for Stam DPS. Also I agree on the bash glyphs being very good now. Offers good burst in PVP too. I wonder if you could switch Surprise Attacks for Power Bash and the Sword and Shield ULT for PVP. Still I cannot argue that this build is not bad at all. Well done.
