Yellow number enjoyers here's a crit build for you.
This build doesn't necessarily need the extra 2 skill points and can be tweaked depending of preferences and what gems you have on.
Disclaimer : I don't know how this build compares against other ones i just wanted to see yellow numbers i take no responsibility for damage loss and time wasted.

Gear :

  • Combat Morale weapon
  • Critical or Skill Cooldown bracer are both viable i did find myself critting less with the CD bracer while still running low on mana

BloodSeals :

Mark of Alacrity gives us 40 basic attack speed and 20 skill speed instead of 6 attack and 2 bonus damage i have tested both;
and somehow i barely saw any difference but 20 skill speed felt nice especially with Triple Strike but in doubt keep the default one.

Optional :

  • 22 skill points
  • Power Leech epic gem
  • luck and good ping

Notes :

  • Dark Cleaver with gems : -15% Def 3s / -15% Dmg res 5sec 3 stacks / Bleed 8% of power per 1s for 6s this is our main debuff skill.
  • Triple Strike with gems : 15% Pwr to slash skills for 1s / Whatever -res gem you've slotted on i personally use -crit ones
  • V2. spender Vital Strike II if you use this version of the build you should have the Power Leech gem on for 15% Critical Damage Rate increase for 2s
  • If you do not own the Power Leech gem or don't want to use this version it's completely fine to run Dark Cleaver with the talent Hidden Dagger for some more AoE outside of bossing
  • Basic Attack dmg reduce the cooldown of Fatal Strike by 1s and we also have a 70% chance of getting 1 shade on Basic Attack and Skill crits

Rotation :

  • IF possible pre stack Combat Morale x5 and Shades
  • Dark Cleaver > Triple Strike > Cross Slash this is our crit buff opener
  • Spender v1. : Dark Cleaver > Triple Strike > Fatal Strike
  • Spender v2.: Dark Cleaver > Vital Strike > Triple Strike combo > Fatal Strike
  • Cycle through Dark Cleaver, Triple Strike and Cross Slash depending of your cooldowns
  • DO NOT FORGET TO BASIC ATTACK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

# meager relic why not R before F

i tunned the skill set and gems around Fatal Strike and got the crit buff from Cross Slash to be up for 9sec + to have enough time to stack 5 shades again
for Fatal Strike while the other skills comes back from their CD to apply buffs and debuffs it might not be perfect but that was how i've though about it
