Notes that apply by 50

  • Sinister Strike to 5 combo points, Slice and Dice up, Eviscerate. Shank (level 24) is a free 15 Energy every 10 seconds; press it on cooldown, and Flash of Steel later makes it 30 Energy every 8.
  • Riposte after a parry is 150% weapon damage and a disarm; Deflection 3/3 makes parries happen.
  • Blade Flurry at 30 doubles your damage on two mobs; Adrenaline Rush at 40 for elites. Poised (level 18) makes your opener cheaper when you start at full Energy.
  • After 44: Malice, Ruthlessness and Relentless Strikes keep combo points and Energy flowing.
