Here's my two cents:

Your attack stat is very low. I'd suggest having around 3500 attack so your autos are worth it. Even with heroic attack lix you might be missing a lot of autos. And at 95 dex, I'm not sure ls or ss is worth it tbh -- you'd be hitting less than 1k ss and around 300 ls, which isn't much. You'd fare better with around 1:3 dex/str, I'd say.

Also, since this is a bossing build, you won't be using riposte a lot. You'd fare better with double attack to make use of that high auto dmg.

Thanks for the advice, I'm thinking about swapping the garanak storm set for frost for more dex and my only question is why double attack? If I'm hastes at a boss with a dagger wouldn't I hit higher and more autos compared to double attack? I have a mordris spear I can swap to but are you suggesting double as it doesn't miss and my attack is low for now?

Come to think of it, you're right -- double attack seems to be a wrong choice if you're looking to use your dagger. My point was that riposte wasn't going to be much use if you're bossing, so swap it out with something else. I'm thinking either assassinate or double attack (I don't like rend coz of resists). Assassinate also has its drawbacks, so it's a toss-up I guess between those two.

Sneaky is good 50/50 with a high auto unless you somehow get aggro. And quickstrike is good because it's free damage.

4k+ attack, 4k hp, rest in str, ditch riposte and life steal and pick up sneaky and double/rend

Double attack hits higher than an auto with 1.5x weapon speed and never misses. NEVER MISSES.

My ss was around 2.5k with 5 dex. Not too bad and at your level ss is worth using on many bosses. Once you get to endgame you'll (hopefully) come to the realization that ss is worthless there.

It takes roughly 2.2 seconds for double attack to actually register damage. 1.5 to cast, then about .7 for the animation to complete. It is a guaranteed loss of 2 autos and up to 3 lost autos if you cancel one you were in the middle of. While it may never miss, the gain (and potential loss depending on a few things) isn't worth the points Imo.
Rend is a good option, but if one or more have a higher or equal levelled rend, it mainly just becomes energy waste


Rather run expose weakness and help the entire raid out if you don't know where to toss the points, or just pw if you feel like adding dps (though for pw to be effective, you need good attack, which str builds lack)
