Thread: What box to fill first?
Obviously, everyone will tell you that KD does not work like it once did, but if it were me personally, I would still get Balance I first, then Power I-IV, then Balance II-IV, then Meditate I-IV, filling in the precision striking line as combat xp becomes availible.
But if someone tells you to go all power first, because of KD changes, that's understandable too I guess. KD is still usefull sometimes though. I'd get it just to have it real quick, then go up the power line.
I did get balance 1 first, the knockdown is useful sometimes, but personally I seem to find that dizzy then lunge1 works better and lasts longer.
If I dizzy and knockdown they get up after 5 seconds (max, seen them get up nearly instant) and dizzy has gone. If I use dizzy then lunge1, they seem to stay down longer and the dizzy seems to stick longer.
I am doing balance and power 1 and 2 (alternating) then rest of power, then rest of balance. If you are going for TKM you will get them all eventually so a lot is more on just preference, but the extra speed and damage modifiers in power can make quite a difference.
Id say balance first. I use KD often in PvP and PvE.
I am a master CH so i can KD/peace and my pets will retake aggro if i had it on me prior to KD.
My template was so far (working on master) Balance I, Power I, Power II, balance II, Meditation I-III.
I'm working on meditation IV currently. THen ill master
iam working onpower first and got the first box in balance so i can have kd. usekd after making them dizzy in pvp.. they will lay on the ground for 3 minutes if you let them.
so yes kd is nerfed, but if you know how to use it youll win. i beat a master heavy swordsman last night using this tactic.
with this skill i can take down a marksman in about 6 secs with 3 unarmed 2 hits and my vk's on. before they can even realize they were being fought they are being sent to the cloning facility.
