One Bar Stamina Nightblade DPS Build
One Bar Stamina Nightblade DPS
A strong One Bar Stamina Nightblade DPS Build for Solo and Group Gameplay! The build is using the Oakensoul Ring Mythic Item to boost its damage and capabilities! Thanks to the buffs from this ring, we can focus only on offensive skills and achieve great damage with this one bar build!
