This build focuses on maximizing burst damage and sustained DPS through aggressive dual blade combat. It requires precise timing and positioning but rewards skilled players with top-tier damage output.

Build Overview

The Infernal Twinblades DPS build is designed for players who want to deal maximum damage in PVE content. This build excels in boss fights and dungeon runs where you can maximize your damage windows.

  • Mobility: Shadow Step and Dancing Shadows provide excellent positioning tools
  • Execute Potential: Executioner's Dance makes finishing off bosses incredibly satisfying
  • Skill Ceiling: Rewards players who master the rotation and mechanics

Detailed Rotation
