COMBAT GUIDE
Opening sequence: your first moves
Level 60 · dual-wield Combat · Sinister Strike builder · one sustained melee target
- Approach with a full energy bar so Poised can prime the first energy spend.
- Build an initial combo point with Sinister Strike and establish Slice and Dice early.
- Keep attacking in melee while you build the points for the next finisher.
What to use next
- Check Slice and Dice duration before committing points to damage.
- Use Eviscerate when the attack-speed buff has comfortable time remaining and you have points to spend.
- At the combo-point cap, choose the finisher appropriate to the buff timer before another builder.
PATCH NOTES
What changed
Poised is a Forever passive learned at level 18. Reaching maximum energy out of combat prepares a 10-energy discount on the next energy ability.
