Dark and Darker – Slayer Fighter Build

Guide to Slayer Fighter Build

Primary Perks:

• Slayer for extra damage per hit
• dual wield for faster swing speed
• Sword Mastery gives more damage, action speed, and move speed

Final Perk is Any Filler:

• Projectile Resist is worth a LOT, can sometimes make/break fights.
• Swift isn’t worth as much since a lot of your armor is already light, maybe 2% MS.
• Adrenaline Spike increases attack speed at 40% HP.
• Combo Attack is great with faster swinging weapons like arming sword, shortsword, and flanged mace.
• Weaponmaster is good to use with a bow.

Common Weapon Combos:

Arming Sword + Short Sword

Holding both LMB and RMB at the same time creates a faster attack combo than almost any other combination.

Falchion + Dagger or Short Sword

Falchion has high base damage, and your offhand will let you deal with rogues.

Flanged Mace or Warhammer + Short Sword

Armor Penetration from main hand, Short Sword triggers Sword Mastery.
