Deathblade [RE] 5x3 choice

With my 1475 main, that already has 7/20 RE class engravings, should i go for:

Remaining energy 3
Supercharge 3
Grudge 3
Cursed Doll 3
Adrenaline 3

or

Remaining energy 3
Supercharge 3
Grudge 3
Master of Ambush 3
Adrenaline 3

or

Remaining energy 3
Supercharge 3
Grudge 3
Cursed Doll 3
Adrenaline 3

Background:

  • What would be highest DPS?
  • Using Master of ambush since it is multiplicative?
  • I like yellow numbers, so Adrenaline 3 is a must?
  • Should it replace Cursed Doll or Master of Ambush?
  • Vykas Gate 1-3 is not easy to back attack. I guess it will be similar in the other end game raids. So Adrenaline 3 > Master of Ambush 3?

Thanks for any insights. :slight_smile:

Personally I run 5x3 on RE DB WITHOUT Adrenaline. When I get Ambush Master +12 from books I can make 5x3+1 with Adrenaline 1. Adrenaline 2/3 or Master of Ambush 2/3 at the end build is up to you. In KR some people run Master of Ambush at 2 but majority I’ve seen run Adrenaline 2 and everything else at 3 I believe. That’s when Ancient accessories come out with +6.

I play without Adrenaline cause I just hate that engraving with passion from having had it on my alts so I avoid it like a plague unless I have no other choice.

Remaining Energy 3
Grudge 3
Super Charge 3
Master of Ambush 3
Cursed Doll 3
(soonTM Adrenaline 1)

for me

I have a deathblade alt, my choice would be #2 but I have Cursed doll book so I’ll just run Re Sc Grudge Cd Ambush sadly no adren there is also the 4x3+2+1 possibility, Grudge Cursed Super charge ambush master adren 2 RE 1

Not really hard to back attack in vykas at least for me so Ambush is a must, I can say that without adrenaline a lot of my surges do not crit

First of all i wouldnt go on leg class engravings, i went for keen blunt/adrenaline +12 and i could 5x3 5 chars without problems. For my alt RE deathblade (main is 1490 surge db / yes i love this class) i went 3 RE 3 Super charge 3 grudge 3 master of ambush 3 adrenaline, adrenaline was my fifth engraving and the difference in crits and damage was instantly visable. Thats my suggestion tbh, replace cursed doll for it, master of ambush is really important. Outdamaged a 1460 ign sorc with 4x3 as a 1415 RE DB with 5x3 in argos recently.
