Fatalis Armor

Fatalis Great Sword Build #3 | Frost Craft Fatalis Build

The infamous Frostcraft Great Sword build is back!

With AT Velkhana, you can now enjoy the DPS bonus from Frostcraft along with several powerful skills (Focus 3, Quick Sheath , Critical Draw & Coalescence 3) Simply equip the full AT Velkhana set for all those skills.

This build drops AT Velkhana gloves for Frostfang Bambraces Beta. This is for Punishing Draw bonus from Frostfang Barioth. This skill add a significant amount of damage to your first attack.

Quick Sheath 3 let you trigger the Frostcraft bonus easier, open the room for moar damage.

The main problem with this build is definitely the lack of Health augmentation on Black Fatalis Blade. This is because the -30% Affinity will eat out a lot of your damage, making a build with your typical Augmentation does not worth it. This build is recommended for experience Great Sword hunters, as you don’t have any recovery mechanism on the build.
