Has anyone ever tested this in pvm? Especially against hard hitters like paroxysmus?
Onslaught works best with elemental dmg on your weapon so you ideally want to reforge HF AND the lowest elemental resist. Getting those two exact reforge seems difficult though so I have not done it.Yep i thought so. It should drain stamina pretty consistently. Problem for me i have to reforge for hit fatigue so no 100% life leech there. As soon i get my hands on onslaught lv3 i will try this with a double axe and 81 hll. We will see what will happen.
I do well with 81 hll. I have few old axes with 100 hll but I'm going to replace them with 100% elemental damage and 81 hll.Yep i thought so. It should drain stamina pretty consistently.

Against Memphis I use Bladed Staff: Arachnid slayer, 75 HML, 50 DI, 50 HLA, 50 HFat. I have no Healing so I use only Confidence to heal... and it's enough against Memphis... and much better than 100 hll axe/staff I used before.
Yes. Yes. I don't rely on Parrying. Confidence heals for 40 hp in 4 sec if I don't get a hit in this period. This is how I heal (against Memphis).Wait so no VE, no healing and no HLL?! Wow is confidence that good? Do you use it with 120 bushido/60 parry build?
PlusAnticipate Hit", with GM Bushido, Confidence gives +80 HPR for 4 secs, and restores 1-10 Health and 1-21 Stamina per successful Parry, with a 60% chance to reduce the Confidence HPR heal by 75% when hit, instead of completely losing it. With 120 Bushido, Confidence gives +100 HPR for 4 secs, and restores 1-12 Health and 1-25 Stamina per successful Parry, with a 80% chance toreduce Confidence HPR heal by 75% when hit, instead of completely losing it.
I think this mastery could be better at several encounters than onslaught, especially doing champion spawnsIntuition (Passive)
While the bushido, chivalry or ninjitsu masteries are active mana is increased based on mastery level.
You can test level II. (I can give you if you haven't one)Well i still hadnt a chance testing onslaught
Hit Fatigue is not needed, since most Macing Weapons innately do more Stamina damage than other weapons. In fact, on TC i tested Stagger against Chief Paroxysmus and Dreadhorn, to great effect. Here's the results i posted before.So, in theory, if you were to use HFat and Stagger, eventually you'd get things down to the point where they only swing once every 3.25 or 3.5s.
Just tested Stagger on Chief Paroxysmus to see how badly it messes with melee heavy Peerlesses, and holy crap is it powerful. Chief Paroxysmus went from swinging every 3-4 seconds, to every 8 while under Stagger, plus i had knocked him down to 0% Stamina with my Maul. At no point in time was i anywhere near in danger against him, he just attacked way too slow.
I had Honor, Disco and Corpse Skin on him, and with a 100% Fire Maul with 35% DI/30% SSI/62% HML/50% HSL/50% HLA i was doing 130-140 damage a Stagger, and about 150-160 total damage with Double Strike. Dropped him dead within 5-7 minutes of attacking him.
Just beat the crap out of Dread Horn. Once again, Honor+Disco+Corpse Skin with the same 100% Fire Maul, was quickly able to reduce Dread Horn to 0% Stamina, and Stagger kept his melee attacks slow as hell. Stagger did 100-120 damage, while DS did 120-140 damage. Took me about 15 minutes to kill Dread Horn, and was never in any danger the whole time.
The healing is reduced by 75% though once you take damage. Confidence with 120 Bushido and Lvl 3 Mastery gives +100 HPR for 4 seconds, which is 40 Health healed over 4 seconds. If you get hit during that time, it get's reduced to 25 HPR for the remaining duration of those 4 seconds. So if you get hit with damage in almost the same instant you use Confidence (which is pretty common in a Champ Spawn with lots of casters aggroed on you), then it will only heal 10 Health over 4 seconds. It's not that great.Bushido mastery 3 is awesome for Confidence heal,cause without mastery confidence stops healing once you get hit with damage,but with mastery 3 it heals even if you take damage which is awesome!.
