Executing Blades 3.0 Scout Build (Warhammer: Chaosbane)

Executing Blades 3.0

(a.k.a Fidget Spinner Elessa)

♦ ◊ ♦ ◊ ♦

This build is the second (3.0) update to my Executing Blades Build for Elessa (the Scout). The build is a mid/long range centric one and includes a lot of cooldown reduction to allow spamming Spinning Blades Heroic as much as possible. We’re using the Executors daggers and stacking some HP Regen to get more dmg from those. The other items I’ve picked help us reduce the cooldown of Spinning Blades even further. The build can handle up to Chaos 10 solo but I recommend playing C8 or C9 for solo. Elessa has been buffed up from the latest patch mostly in regards to her skill cooldowns (which really helps this build be better than before) and every hero has gotten more dmg across the board although the other heroes did get a heavy survivability nerf. With the right gear and controlling the build properly you’ll love the dmg and mobility off the ‘Fidget Spinner Elessa‘. When you get a decent amount of legendary ranks you’ll unlock teh build’s full potential and be able to do C10 reasonably quick but until then you are better of running C8 or C9 maps.

Here is the build video on YouTube:

The gear I recommend using is:

  • The Eternal Queen (Queen-Chosen) that gives a toxic aura (poison AoE) and +200% poison skills dmg
  • an Executors daggers (it gives XYZ% dmg based on our HP Regeneration – 1.0% HP regen = 20% dmg)
  • a Master Archer Bow to help further reduce our cooldowns when we crit
  • Amber Talisman (procs CDR & energy gain)
  • Ring of the Guardian for more chance to proc CDR (or other of your choice with good rolls… maybe a Chitin Links for survivabilty for the price of doing less dmg or Ring of  the Spirits for energy regen and heals)
  • Old Ring of Resonance to proc stuns + a bit of AoE DMG (or other of your choice with good rolls)

The Skills and Passives I recommend are:

 

 

My Preferred Chaos 8 Setup

 

 

 

  • Crippling Blade basic (or an energy generator of your choice)
  • Spinning Blades Heroic (main dps source)
  • Hungry Roots Superior (dmg reduction also helps procing Duelist’s Chain Reaction)
  • Winds of Isha Mastered (HP regen and okay DoT)
  • Barbed Brambles Mastered (spamming this in-between blades stacks up loads of DoT procs that can proc the CDR from items and also adds up t the total dmg)
  • Queen’s Wrath basic (a wide HP regen aoe field + also does poison DoT and slows)
  • Guardian Spirit Mastered for the dmg reduction and HP regen (or another passive of your choice)
  • Duelist’s Chain Reaction (up to 300% crit dmg which is 3 stacks of 100%)
  • Hunting Feast Superior (when poisoned enemies die a field may spawn that gives HP regen)
  • Blessing of the Forest Superior (permanent HP regen)
  • Master of Poisons Superior (30% poison dmg increase + 5 sec poison duration)
  • Tactical Retreat Superior (after a dodge-roll we get a buff for 4 seconds that gives 10% dmg reduction & +30% movement speed. Dodge-rolling also leaves a trail of poison that is a great way to get more hits per seconds for more chances to proc Master Archer Bow, Ring of the Guardian, and Amber Talisman or any other item that procs on hit/crit )
  • Optional Alternative) Hero of the Desert (A bit of everything. We take it for the dmg reduction, dmg, and hp mostly)
