Hi, noob question. Why you drop Furious Appetite&Frenzied Blows, Insidious Decay, Attrition Strategist? Just about all Bleeding Edge builds have them. Instead you go out of your way for Intravenous Something Cord and Backline Raider. Does attack speed scale better than better ailments and double dmg from Frenzied Blows???

Hi. I don't take Furious Appetite and Frenzied blows because I want to passively regenerate willpower to make applying buffs and teleporting around the map easier. Frenzied blows would be really nice if it wasn't after Furious Appetite, but right now I dump my entire rage bar in 2-3 seconds after teleporting around so I'm not too fussed about losing it.

Insidious decay reduces all non-DoT damage by 30% and I haven't done the math to see if stacking the ailments faster makes up for the 30% hit to Bleeding Edge damage.

As for the attack speed passives, I just really dislike the long animations that all the skills have; I think Attrition Strategist is better for stacking ailments faster. I will update the build to have Attrition Strategist instead of Backline Defender as that should be more DPS.

That being said; I just got up to the max level expeditions and it doesn't feel much different than it did doing 160-170s. So it should be fine either way, I will still probably use Backline Defender so it feels more snappy.

Great build ! I was trying to test something like taht after JKP video and willing to have a more dynamic gampeplay.

Im currently at Parangon level and its becoming a bit harder tho
