Mirke the Speed Demon (Shadowdancer) - POTD Build Guide

By Lost Sinner

★ Rogue (Streetfighter) / Monk - Build Guide for sidekick Mirke.

★ Role: Striker, Off-Tank

✎ Team comp: better playing with a heavy martial classes based party (Fighter/Ranger/Rogue/....), this build playstyle is very aggressive so it need a party that can rush enemies at the same pace like it does.

✎ Abilities Preview

♦ As a Streetfighter Monk:

Extremely fast: by ultizing Pukestabber with another dagger + Streetfighter subclass + Monk nature, Mirke can act very fast, close to around ~1s when every posititive effects kick in. Monk can provide a very fast action speed boost, Streetfighter when met it first condition will reduce recovery speed, along with gear/weapon usage will turn Mirke into a Speed Demon.
High Spike Damage: Despite using a pair of daggers, the damage potential is still really high coming from Streetfighter/Monk combination along with +Crit Damage and +Attack Damage stacking from gear. Mirke can very well reach 70~80 spike up to 120~150 damage per stab on daily basis at full build, not only so she also has extra attacks from Swift Flurry/Hearbeat Drumming, delivering atleast 2~4 stabs each action per sec. Thunderous Blows + Quick to Slaughter + Debilitating Strike make sure her stabs dig deep inside the hardest armor, reaching up to 15~17 Penetration on her own with just Hits.
