GSW or Reflex + Flashblast?

Build is Knux/Dagger.

How much eva% reflex gives? What does flash blast do?

What's the gsw penalty?

 

GSW penalty: -70% resistance per stack. So -210% in total
Reflex: gives 30% evasion recharge, BUT evasion recharge time increase with continued use. That‘s why in my opinion evasion recharge doesn‘t matter that much. The max stack number is the important stat
Flashblast: some unsheathe % and you do an aoe every time you evade. But I don‘t recomment this at all because the damage isn't that high and adds physical proration and therefore reduces your knuckle damage.

It basically comes down to if you want to die every hit or not

 

Well, since FB adds Phys proration, I'm kinda disinclined to take it tho I still like the AoE every evasion and I don't normally use decoy so definitely gonna check it out. What's it's duration tho?

Was gonna do two combos really,
1) A flash blast arcane save finisher that lets me dodge around blasting away minor enemies and recover MP fast with autos.

2) A high speed evasion recharge combo with reflex or gsw (or both) to recover stacks fast.

Tho the main problem is that I need a build that does high Phys damage with crit if flash blast really does low DMG.

Hmm...

Maybe it'd work with staff/dagger mage on hybrid build?

 

that would actually make the effect of Evasion Recharge more significant

small AoE damage when you use evasion

 

The opposite. After a few uses evasion recharge will be capped at 10 seconds

 

Staff/Dagger benefits from fb. But keep in mind you will need crit on your mage to actually hit fb reliably. I tried it myself but found it annoying to always play in close range so I scrapped it. Fb lasts 30 sec

 

I can see a way to end combos on flash blast so it shouldn't be a problem with that duration, especially for a combo like

Impact > Burst > FB

Dodge around and Gatling the boss.

...

Might build this later.

 

Using skills reduces your evasion recharge based on their mp cost, but I don't know how or if combo tags affect it. It also goes down when you take damage.

 

Oh that it goes down when taking damage is new to me. That's interesting
