Skirmisher Physical Melee

Abilities

Spinning Slash16s → 8sSpin for 1.2 seconds, striking all enemies within 4.5 blocks every 0.2 seconds. Each strike that hits grants 1 stack of Sunder, up to 6. Sunder grants 4% armor penetration per stack and lasts 6 seconds.
Shatter18s → 14sSlam the ground, damaging all enemies within 8 blocks and breaking their armor. Affected enemies take 6% to 10% increased damage from all sources for 6 seconds.
Culling Sweep18s → 14sDash to the nearest enemy in front of you, then cleave a 180 degree arc up to 7 blocks, damaging and slowing everything hit by 50% for 2 seconds. Consumes all Sunder stacks, dealing 12% increased damage per stack consumed, up to 72%. The armor penetration itself is not consumed.
Endless CleaveUltimate65s → 45sFor 12 seconds, each hit you deal also launches a blade wave in front of you, dealing 25% of that hit's damage to every enemy it passes through. Spinning Slash strikes trigger it.

Pierces defense (+10% of every hit)
Flat true damage
10 per basic attack
Bonus true damage
+10% of pre-defense damage on EVERY hit: basic attacks and abilities alike
Note
Ignores armor and defense entirely; only level difference reduces it
How it works
Triggers: On every hit
Converts part of every hit into true damage, which ignores armour and defence completely. Applies to abilities as well as basic attacks.
Strongest winsTwo sources do not add. Only the single strongest one applies.
- Only the level difference between you and the target reduces it: no amount of armour does.
- Against monsters the true portion is capped, and that cap scales with your level.
- Mutually exclusive with True Bolts; if a build somehow has both, True Bolts wins.
