Hi,

Just wondering if theres been any changes that would mean I need to look for more updated versions of the build? I've found some from January this year so not that old, but I know theres been a few changes so wanted to see if I can probably just use them or if anybody can share what they are using now? Would love to go 2h if its viable but I've heard the WL just trumps the slayer in every way on that so I may as well just make that next if I want a ST class.

A well played slayer can keep up with any WL, and brings a couple of great utilities that WL does not have access too.
WL is just easier to access and a lot of people who mained SL were disappointed with some changes to the class so they rolled WL.

2h is not really viable in its current state, different dual wield builds are simply just better than full 2h spec.

Currently Inevitable Doom is probably SLs strongest skill, so try to play around that. Try to be grouped with a SM with Winds so you can spam ID. Don't use it on tanks that are facing you.
If you can get a SM with Winds and Vauls Tenpering, even better as this will help your mobility considerably.
Take both stat buff tactics, accuracy then flanking or jagged edge.

For a bit of extra fun, when you get to bis gear you can take the M4 KD.

I am nowhere near to bis gear or rr80. My slayer curently sits on rr 62. In weekend scenario I was strugling and after many losses I told my self f... it and tried this ST 2H spec with Bloodlord weapon.

At first I thought this wont work since I lost both Brute force and flanking, but oh boy. I could not beleave how big of a difference it was against sorcs, shammans, zealots, SHs, Maguses. Things started to melt pretty quickly.
