Bushido - How to use its spells very well?

[psycrow]

Hello, I'm quite new to a samurai build and I'm having trouble understanding which stances or spells to use to maximize its potential. Typically, I just cast Confidence and then attack.

Could anyone provide me with some tips or guidance on macros or scripts that could help me make the most of Bushido?

I'm quite confused about this matter.

You can read about macros in this topic 17 minute, 48 second Rikki run, Sampire(ish) template, with gear/build/EC macroes

Do not use Confidence every time you attack. I typically use it only when my health getting to low. Evasion when I attack something strong like huge amount of monsters in spawn. Try to Honor every mob you attack. Those are basics.

You can only have one of these going at a time - Confidence, Evasion and Counter Attack.

Keeping Counter Attack up as much as possible and use your weapons special moves, is how we do it.
When your taking damage you can either opt for Confidence or Evasion. Generally we save Evasion till we are pretty low in HP's since its not possible to keep it up all the time.

Bushido + Parry shines when using a whirlwind weapon as you get damage bonuses based on how many mobs are surrounding your character.
Bushido + Parry makes it possible to block with your melee weapon without a shield. Shield isn't helpful with this combo. 2 handed melee weapons block ratio is higher then a 1 handed melee weapons.

Honor is very helpful for doing additional damage to mobs you have honored. Only one player can honor a mob and it has to be um-damaged.

Good Macros

Select Nearest + Attack Selected + Whirlwind​

Select Next + Attack Selected​

​

With first macro you can pull the WW skill out of your book and when you activate the skill it will turn red. When its no longer Red, use the Macro again. Spaming the second macro will cause all the mobs to start walking to you.

Hope that was helpful,
