Does anyone play Witchblade?

[Halcyon]

Hey everyone, I've been theorycrafting for a while on this game and have never been able to come up with a witchblade that seems any good. Does anyone here run witchblade? If so, how do you do it? Any advice would be appreciated.

one of my first toons was a witchblade. im struggling on elite mode last boss with getting enough dps out. This toon is mostly tank style play.

check me screen shots for setups.

Ive got a lvl 75 warder as my main char, either use a 2 handed stonefist rebuke or a decent 2 handed ranged weapon and he can hold his own in elite or ultimate. Savagery as main attack, primal strike as secondary and nice group skill. Looking at 42k dps at 8 charges in savagery and meteor shower linked to it. Weapon has a nice rebuke skill as well I use on more difficult chars. Attack speed is at 180%. Most of my gear is purple.
This char might lack a bit in tank, although he has over 1k in armor as well but he is so much fun to play. Found best is to keep on moving and hitting, not to stand still for too long in one place. Have 80% in hp regen as well

Erm... nothing to do with the thread?

Giving an alternate option to a witchblade?

I have a witchblade lvl 80 and it's really good, not as good as my commando but it can kill everything at a good pace while being nearly unkillable. 70+% block chance and 100% block recovery almost all the time and can reach 1500 hp regen. His dps is 20k too, not bad for a tank.

I use high phys, truama and bleed damage but the build requires very good gear.

Witchblade builds can be quite good.

My first character to reach 85 and complete Ultimate was a 2-hand Witchblade build (50 Soldier / 1 Occultist) focused on Physical/Trauma/Bleed damage with Curse of Frailty and spamming Forcewave. 'Ranged Melee' for the win!

More recently, I just hit 84 on a retaliation tank Witchblade build (50 Soldier / 32 Occultist) that is nearly indestructible and can get retal hits in excess of 140k damage.

Both these have been fun and play completely different from each other despite being the same combination of masteries.

Try "Dreegs evil eye" and "Overguard". I reached level 85 in Hardcore with this build.

Ok, but you didn't say that, it just seemed like an odd non sequitur or that you'd accidentally posted in the wrong thread. Just checking what happened.

[mdek68]

Ok now I feel bad. Was so sure I read Halcyon asked about a 2 handed witchblade build, hence me giving my 2 cents worth. Guess it was a long weekend, sorry about this

[E equals M C squared]

I do.

[Halcyon]

I've got some good ideas out of this, thanks guys! I'm going to see if I can't find a more soldierly witchblade than I was aiming for, using the skills from occultist to supplement a physical and retaliation playstyle.
