Elf Brawler Sonic Daggers Build
This build concept uses the synergy between Sonic Daggers and Temporal Cleave nodes.
How the Build Works
The core mechanics revolve around Backstep, Temporal Surge, Bleed, and Echoes of Mutilation.
- Repeating Rending Backstep, if both instances hit, gives you 8 Temporal Surge stacks and applies 6 Bleed stacks.
- If only one instance of Backstep hits, you receive half the Temporal Surge and Bleed.
- Finishing a normal attack string applies additional Bleed equal to your Temporal Surge stacks. The Temporal Surge stacks are consumed because of the Temporal Cleave passive.
- Consuming 5 or more Temporal Surge stacks triggers the Sonic Daggers passive.
- Use Repeating Harvesting Echoes of Mutilation to consume 10 or more Bleed stacks. This gives you 10 Double Strike stacks and deals upfront Bleed damage through the Dismantle passive.

Gameplay Notes
This iteration is a pure glass cannon and is primarily used for no-hit runs. If you do not like relying on dodging and parrying, you can spec the build to be tankier.
Play around your Echoes of Mutilation cooldown when fighting large packs. Otherwise, you can get smacked around.
The DPS shown in the summary view is not accurate. No rotation was set up for the summary view, and it does not account for many of the build’s passive effects.
