Current Ash Build - Help

[Dark5eiD]

Hi everyone. I have not used my ash in a few months as i was doing forma builds else where. i know there has been some changes to him and i was wondering what his best all around build is. dont be shy with forma builds as i do not have a problem investing in him. at the moment this is what i have. this is lacking in the smoke screen duration department. but i can still spam and stun. i would love for this to be longer to take advantge of 400% melee damage, but not sure i want it to cost my great effeciency / damage / range or my health/shields. what i am thinking is replacing vitality with constitution to counter fleeting negative duration. but again, not sure if this is best as i want my cake and to eat it to. i have always want to do a corrupt build to get damge max aswell but i cant see how that would work out well as i would need all corrupt mods on there to counter eachother and i would practically be right back to this build. thanks for your assistance ahead of time.

all I would change is take shuriken off add some forma and put blind rage in shurikens spot and maybe replace redirection with vigor for more health since he has higher base health also I would forma the aura for rejuvenation but that's just me take it as you will that's just my input ... blade storm should be your main attack with that build or at least that's how I would build for blade storm but like I said that's just my opinion

It really depends on how you'd like to play him.

 

I have three style I have him set up for.

 

 

Hybrid, which uses Blade Storm and Smoke Screen, although Blade Storm is weaker but it still kills things just fine due to re-attacks.

Basically this build keeps you tanky and capable of using melee while still having high mobility. Having Blade Storm with an Overextend gives you an extremely large range, you're able to snipe enemies with Blade Storm 50m away, and with a large radius. Enemies 40- will die easily. Enemies 60+ will die to re-attacks.

 

The Sword Alone, which focuses on melee, speed, and stamina.

I think this one is self explanatory. You're melee focused. You take full advantage of melee. You very high mobility, a near endless pool of stamina which keeps you going at all times, and you can effectively block due to your high pool of stamina and stamina regen. If used right, you can even out run, and/or keep up with copters.

 

My recent build, the Ninja. Which focuses on Shuriken and Blade Storm, dealing a lot of damage.

This build is meant to kill. It's damage potential is staggering. With a Blade Storm that starts off with 4040, and it's damage scales with melee combo counters, and bleed stacking. It has no problem putting enemies to Rest.. In Pieces.

 

This build works best if you're in a group. Nova will double your Blade Storm damage, and a trinity can make it so that you(and everyone else in the party) have near endless energy, as you pretty much kill everything that comes in sight.

 

 

Edit:

 

Do notice I use non maxed and maxed out mods for the builds. Reason being Fleeting Max takes out to much duration, and Narrow Minded maxed takes up too much range. The only mod you'll need doubles of is Fleeting, one for 40%, and one maxed.

Here's my setup: http://goo.gl/i5H9ZK

 

I prefer to use Teleport for keeping up my melee combos which will go into my Bladestorm for damage. Natural Talent allows me to melee right after teleporting, and use Smoke Screen a lot quicker during the heat of battle so I can get the stun on my enemies quicker and get out of sticky situations a lot quicker as well. BladeStorm is not just good for damage, but can also be a emergency button, since it's quicker to activate than Smoke Screen and provides invincibility. It's more energy efficient if you are able to pull off Smoke Screen instead, but it may be better to use BladeStorm instead if you get ganged by +20 dudes at lv.100+ after getting out of an entrance. You can also swap out the Vitality for Rage to get more energy, but I prefer the tankiness.

Here is what i think i am going to go with which requires 3 forma. im not a fan of teleport although with natural talent it can be made useful. this build makes bladestorm cost 25 energy. anytime my shields are running low and there are a lot of enemies around i can just hit 4 to become invincible, kill almost all nearby enemies and my shields are fully recharged when its done. i like smoke screen for the invisibility / stun / 400% melee dmg. my duration in this build is basically 9 secs which is the default. the difference is it will only cost me 8.75 energy to cast, so i can spam it. my previous build which was several months ago was based around smoke screen and shuriken. shuriken is effective but does not fit my game style. thanks to everyone that spared a moment. have a great day.

nice build but I would change one thing (im a nit picker) I would ditch redirection and get blind rage and cast blade storm at 50 energy with more dmg I never run out of energy with him and I use blind rage/intensify
