Dual Blades

I think I'm finally ready to build a Dual Blades toon and I've decided on SR as the secondary. I'm quite familiar with /SR, so there is no trouble there. What I am wondering, however, is what combos I should be aiming for on DB? Is that even the way to build? I'm kind of looking for what attacks are skipable.

Depending on how tight the build is, I may reconsider and go Fire Melee but I just have never tried DB out, since they introduced it.

Well with Dual Blades I have found best to skip Empower and Weaken combos. The combos don't do a lot of damage. So I would skip Nimble Slash and never take it. You can also hold off on Typhoon's Edge too. You will want to get Blinding Feint as soon as you can it is a great power.

Now for later Combos I go with Blinding Feint>Attack Vitals>Power Slice when Hasten is down and when Hasten is up Blinding Feint>Attack Vitals. That would be your best bet to aim for. I think this is a better attack chain with a higher recharge build. Sweep is a good combo too but I don't do it that much.

Expose Vitals and Sweep are the only combos worth a thing IMO.

I agree with them. Attck vitals and sweep combos rock. I like doing attack vitals then sweep for large mobs because of all them orange numbers are so cool to see.

to me DB is all about the combos. While I only use the BF > AV chain now, in the lower levels I used both power up and weaken because they are a part of the experience. My advice is to try the lower chains, and then respec later.
