Relic sets for PS Shadowhunter

Help me decide on my relic sets :).
I have high swiftness perfect suppression shadowhunter with 2pc nightmare set already.
Currently i run all swiftness accessories and have around 1660 swiftness, my current crit rate is (10 ba + 15 adrenaline + 18 crit stat + 7 card set + 15 preordained = 65).
I can either go 2pc nightmare + 4pc earth entropy or i could swap ring for crit and go 4pc nightmare set + 2pc salvation (approx crit rate 10ba + 15 adrenaline + 26 crit stat + 7 card set = 58).
What u think about 4pc nighmare on high swiftness shadowhunter? Thanks for tips.

4 pc nightmare on high swiftness is really good.

When you are Swiftness, you have the obligation of playing Nightmare.

With your crit right now, 2 entropy are also very good, as you have big crit rate, but maybe after you get Salvation card set, you’ll need to play 4 entropy/2 nightmare.

Last choice, that was popular at the time KR was on Vykas/Kakul is 2/2/2.
2 Nightmare
2 Entropy
2 Domination

Domination is strong for PS because you really need a big amount of CDR, and level 10 gems are still way too far.

Another way (still popular in KR) is playing 2 Nightmare and 4 Domination, it’s an option if you don’t play keen blunt (If you play entropy you don’t want Keen blunt but Backstab master).

I currently have a second build Perfect Supression, i’ll main it when we get the tripod rework, and i think it’s way better on 4 domination 2 nightmare build.

Thanks for your great response, what engravings are run in case of 2pc nighmare and 4pc dominion way?

Does anyone play 4pc nightmare + 2pc dominion? It looks like ultimate cdr version :slight_smile:

No, or in rare case.

We run Nightmare only because we have mana issues, but in fact, you don’t want to get the effect of the 4 pc nightmare proc, because you lose the damage boost.

And also the 4 domi give you a better damage %.

Engravings are the usuals :

Grudge
Cursed doll
1 or 3 PS

Raid captain is possible

Keen blunt or Backstab, can be both

Can run Adrénaline if you think you lack crit rate.

Thanks, i like 2/2/2 most, since i currently run 5x3 with ps 3, adren 3, kbw 3, ambush 3, raid 3 i could just swap kbw for grudge with 222 setup.

If i may ask, dominion is not supposed to be 100% uptime, right?

It’s not supposed to be, it’s something like 30sec dead zone with all our swiftness, but if you put Awakening 1, there is no dead zone.

what about high crit PS? what sets do you run on them?

1st thing i guess is that you can’t really play full crit, it’s not worth at all.

You want something like Half crit half swiftness, or 60% crit 40% swiftness.

And you like full Nightmare set, playing both KBW & Backstab master in this case.

Another thing to know, is that you can’t really play PS well before bracelet.

What i told you is what they do on high level, for people at our ilvl (under 1500) i would recommend 4 nightmare 2 domination (as you need both CDR without swiftness)

yeah thats what i felt when i went into valtan HM on full crit that i need more swift since i run adrenaline aswell because i main sup and thats the only +12 book i have besides of mass increase for my glaive but thats not worth. also im alreading preparing for bracelet on all chars since 2 already hit 1490 and a third one is on its way so only 3 more left and SH is one of them.

NEVER do that.

In Lost ark 70% is the cap, because synergies give 18 + 10, so it means if you have more than 72% crit (with everything you personnaly have, adre/stat/back attack) every crit buff you receive is a loss, and you really don’t want that, it’s a stat you’re throwing.

If you are full crit, you should play Grudge/Cursedoll/KBW/BackstabMas/Raid captain/Perfect Supp 1

It’s 6 engraving, but you can if you have 9/7 stone, or if you put Raid captain to level 2.

Raid Captain is the best engraving at this point, even if not maxed, it gives more damage than anything you can get, without making you lose anything, while adrenaline is making you lose dps.

Edit : You can also put Perfect suppression to level 3 if your swiftness is low, level 1 to level 3 is only 10% damage, but it can be more than raid captain, and it also cost less, as the legendary PS doesnt cost anything.

atm i am running 5x3 with grudge/adrenaline/CD/KBW/PS i know its not ideal, but there is not much information arround for PS SH on our region, just was going after this maxroll guide cause i rly had no clue what else i could do. i am already watching out for items with swift and replace CD with ambush master because replacing adrenaline is no option right now. also i know about class synergies etc, just as i said i did not find something better then maxroll to work with for this special build because there is not much information arround to work with

You should join the unofficial discord of Lost ark, there is many people who played from ru/kr, and they answer everything, and explain it too.

You’ll know for next time ^^

I think we all failed at start :stuck_out_tongue:

what cardset should i use?
since i have several choices 18 Los, 12 Lostwind or should i go for 3/3 with forest of giants and the back attack set (only 3 galatur missing :rofl:)

As you have too much crit for now, you should put 18 los.

18 los is 7% flat damage, while Lostwindcliff is 7% crit, so it can only be 7% damage max, and it’s not stable.

The back attack set is really good, but it should be maxed, and it’s harder to play it. (and in the end it’ll be useless, as your supports in group will max lostwind cliff for the + holy damage of whole team)

so if i switch to more swift i will go 7% crit again instead of LoS right now?
as mentioned its only about PS SH at this point because i have no clue. overall i would say i am pretty expierienced and dedicated.


No.

Out of the question of the crit cap, 7% crit is never a good choice to replace 7% damage.

ok so i think the way to go then i replace 1 more crit earring with swift and CD with ambush master and its good to go like this right?

CD is great tbh, it’s a shame to replace it.

But yeah you can go like this.

yeah but it only an “alt” i will not cut a 9/7 any time soon to play 5x3+PS1.
would you rather replace KBW?
since ambush seems mandatory
