im of the opinion that its too costly to path over to stealth for it
so i get all of the raw damage from the blessings on my duelling sword, thrust and precog. thrust is honestly there for big dick damage, this can be changed to riposte for more crit chance, or uncanny on the account of it always being good
i build into piety because my lack of a crit chance blessing means that im not taking advantage of its huge crit multiplier, so this is the only way i can make use of it, which also works well cuz its right below the crit cdr node, which allows me to get fury of the faithful in 10 seconds, giving me much more attack speed and 100% rending on the crit hit from it (which is why i forgo uncanny), and with the attack speed buff lasting as long as it takes to recharge, im basically always at 30% atk speed, making horde clear a non issue

yes
because its 25% damage against everything vs 20% against bosses and hordes
