[Beast Huntress] Ring Blades Tornado

[Blimp]

After doing some min-maxing, I thought I would share my 1-ability Beast Huntress build (I'll skip the topic of balance in this discussion).

Update

I've implemented few tweaks to improve damage even futher, here's a DPS push attempt:

I think the numbers speak for themselves (It can go even higher if focusing more on pure damage), so let's get started:

Generals

I choose Beast Huntress because of the Hero Traits associated with Phys dmg/Attack Speed/Multistrike, but also for strong and smooth early game.
Ring Blades from my experience is the strongest Ability in game, it has fairly high base stats and interaction that allow for significant scaling, which primarily are:

• multiplicative attack interval reduction: 1/(Attack Speed × Multistrike)
  
• Base Crit Bonus traits
  
• moderate Force bonus lets extend Blades Duration to 30-50 secs

Equipment

During the course of the game, some of the items are worth changing, depending on rare drops, but as start erquipment I choose:

• Mark of the Knowledge (Sage)- base Damage, base Crit Chance, Crit bonus
  
• War Chief's Visor (Damage) Damage + Duration
  
• Duelist’s Spark (Force) more Duration
  
• Defiant Plate (Passive) great all-around item
  
• Berserker Boots (Aggregation) ~100% Attack Speed in later stage
  
• Hunting Gloves (Boost) BiS
  
• Cooper Ring (Boost) BiS
  
• Echoing Band (Reach) great early-mid game utility

Selection of most items depends on preference (more damage, movement speed, defense, etc.) and game progression.

Torment Shards

The best Shards distribution damage-wise is surprisingly 1:1:1:1:1 ,

• Damage - Crit Chance - Crit Bonus - Attack Speed - Multistrike

I encourage to test it and crank out even greater numbers. In some spare time I’ll try pure damage option to see where the ceiling is

I love that you put this together. Great work.

Just thought that I would give you an idea for a massive damage increase.

Use Sage mark!

You give up 10% base crit, but you gain access to the big ticket sage proficiency traits. So you get 5% base crit back, along with +20 base damage, and a whopping +100% crit chance.

You can also grab the pickup range, which lets you move less. Which is pretty good QoL for keeping the ringblades positioned over the spawn area.

Nice build, thanks for posting.
