If you get slightly confused by the video I apologize I kinda just make these on a whim and dont put a whole lot of effort into them. There are many paths to RS Soulfist. Im just showing mine :3 One thing I left out of the video was about my Crit rating with this build self buffed. Is around 62-68% depending on circulate rotation. Halu + 8% Elixir (Master 5) +7% Adren 1 +5% =20% Self Buffed without Circulate Crit Rating = 61.40% (67.40% With Circulate)

Ok im just gonna go ahead and say it. Your build is bad. -Put the conviction judgement on Illusion strike and pummel (change illusion strike into the quick cast mode, not the combo mode). This is the standard for RS with low CD gem. -Why is your engraving weird? If you gonna flash step before your combo anyway, use Adrenaline 3 for more crit rate, give you like 22% more dmg if you have 6 stacks and you do have 6 stacks for any standard RS combo -You do 20 sec of dps every 30-35 sec, not every min. If you cant hype 3 off cooldown then consider watching top RS players to adjust your strategy. RS hype is extremely forgiving, if the boss go to mech you can just turn it off -If you can’t control and hit your awakening then you are a bad player. Every boss fight have a fix time to use your awakening. You don’t just awakening any time you feel like and complain that the boss go to cut scene. (Again, watch how top players use their awakening) -The flash step dmg tripod is a good find, i must admit.

Im okay with being a bad player. I MVP like 90% of everything I do. If im bad well shit a lotta ppl are much worse kek. Also that C+V setup is also only used if you dont have the ability to get the stronger version of illusion strike off like I am here. So my apologies but that makes 0 sense. Ill play this build as 5x3 Without adren 1 and still have 62% crit rating. (I dont need adrenaline 3) I was playing this build last year with much less crit rating then I have now (Before elixir) The SS Build was built around having elixir stats. Sitting at 62.4% crit rating self buffed is over the crit cap when you're in a raid. So at this point in the game Having adren 3 could be a detrement to your builds. Depending on your stats. Im sorry but 30 x 2 = 60 seconds. 60 seconds equals a minute. (Obviously this is changed by your Spec rating.) 20sec uptime 10 sec downtime x2 = 1 minute at high spec. If im a bad playing because bosses teleport away, jump to the edge of the map where nobody is standing even. Sure im a bad player lol -The flashstep | Yea the damage really adds up.

@@ziraz4213 -you mvp 90% of everything you do because you never got to play with good players, probably always play with lower gear lower skill players. Gear up to 1630 and start doing Thaemine Hard mode to expand your horizon. - The CJ combo i mentioned is to make your combo easier to pull off + 100% consistency on activation of CJ + less tight cycle. It's 99% better than your combo in a real raid. Of course in trixion your combo is better because the boss doesnt move and you dont have to dodge pattern. Hek, even in trixion you struggle a lot just to activate CJ, you have to restart multiple time. -There are multiple moments where the boss is CC/ stand still for 6 second or more. If you plan your awakening accordingly you will never miss. If you don't know about this then you are a bad player, not because you are not skillful, but because you are unknowledgable. If the boss is in normal pattern phase and a chance to teleport away, you better off not using your awakening, supports won't give you DPS buff during those time anyway. -By the way there is no such thing as over cap crit rate with 62% self crit rate. Your crit rate source only come from teammates synergy and 60% the time you get none, 39% of the time you get 1. So your 62% at best goes to 72%. You can still miss a lot of crit on your awakening. There is a reason why 95% of RS build have Adrenaline 3 in it. The class really need that crit rate.

@@teddanville6996 I mvp against players that have more gear then I do constantly. I beat ppl with full 10s constantly. Ive beaten an esther user. It doesn't matter cuz anyone can have a bad run. It happens less now then it did when My character was at endgame with everyone else. But I took 5 months off so Im in 1620s now. :) But my character is still juiced almost as much as a 1630 just missing the gems really. TLDR Don't like it dont play it. The video is titled. "How I Play Robust Spirit" Not "How you should play" This seems more of an attack on me personally. :/

@@ziraz4213 I out of curiousity had to check out your streams because i just dont believe that build is doing insane damage. I noticed you are doing 1-2 reclears for Thaemine and typically good players are doing 1-3 reclears, the people in your groups are either on ilvl or possibly the same ilvl but have no hands. Like tedd said, you're probably MVPing cause you're just playing with meh players. I am a firm believer of if you can pull if off go for it. But SS in alot of fights is actually trash. Akkan G1 theres no way the uptime is 100% and in things like Thaemine HM, If you even will attempt it, will actually have alot of Chip damage especially in G4. So you'll be relying on your support to keep you at above 80% HP, otherwise you'll be chugging pots. Dont feel forced to change your build, but i agree with Tedd that the build with SS3 is very troll :C Wish you luck on your journey tho and happy raiding

@@HamNCheeseGaming Yep ive been playing a bad build for 2 years. Just trolling myself for fun kekw. I mean maybe I should stream more ig when im locked in im locked tf in. Im not in any way being tempted to change my build. Ive been playing it since brel normal. And it was weaker then and it was still more powerful then any of the other builds. just less consistent. Now.. with more crit its waaaay more consistent. But this video is literally not about stab status at all. Its about a crit spec setup and its rotation. Just because other people use other skills doesn't mean it's wrong. Its just the way I play, And its pretty optimal. You play your way, Ill play mine. The spec/crit have nothing to do with my 1 engraving line difference. I Literally try not to talk about it because everybody says its shit xdd. Im over pushing my SS build. Im literally just talking about SF and about my character a little bit and my personal prog at the end of the video. Again this video is how I play robust. If you dont like it just downvote it and move on
