Build revised.

Hi Kenpo, I was looking at this build and im really liking the look and feel of it.

Was just wondering (for the sake of theme im following) if these skills can be swapped out with the following (without breaking build synergies or overall effectiveness)

Might Leap - Nailed to the Ground > Lighting Lunge - Essence Assault
Lock and Load (as it only effect Tech attacks, its for +crit and energy discount only?) > Ego Surge - Nimble Mind (which would tie in with next change)

Demolish > Ego Blade Breach - Domineering Will (pvp) Rank 3 (pve) (can this provide a big of a hit as Demolish?)

Intensity > Eye of the Storm - Blade Beyond the Veil (switch to this from Sword Cyclone when all eyes are on you)

 

Are those 2 ego skills (or any of them) breaking the builds synergies or do not tie in with the SS or specializations?

thanks ^^

1) Mighty leap can be swapped out.
2) Unless something changed in the last month or two (I haven't played since then) Lock and Load doesn't only affect tech attacks, it affects all attacks as all active offenses do. As such, it can swapped for any other Active Offense you want that has the flavor you're looking for. I used it over Ego Surge w/ Nimble mind because this build doesn't use much CON to scale Nimble Mind and I got more out of ranks 2 Lock and Load as a result.
3) Demolish isn't for the big hit, it's for the physical damage debuff. But it's expendable IMO, I rarely use it except in teams with other people dishing out physical damage.
4) IIRC I think the only reason I decided against Eye of the Storm was because I had another toon that uses it a LOT and another on deck to use it. It's perfectly fine.

I think Tiger's Courage is bugged.
Why wouldn't you stat strength, especially if you're using Intensity?
