How to Use the Raiment of a Thousand Storms Set
The Raiment of a Thousand Storms splits its attention between Spirit Generating and Dashing Strike, elevating the damage of both and making them dependent on each other through the 6-piece set bonus. The set is almost inherently tied to the Shenlong's Spirit set ( Shenlong's Fist of Legend and Shenlong's Relentless Assault), as Raiment scales your attack speed (and resource generation, respectively), while Shenlong feeds off generated resources to increase your damage. It also turns Dashing Strike into a spender, allowing for a build that focuses on mobility as means of damage.
- 2-piece bonus
- Your Spirit Generators have 25% increased attack speed and 400% increased damage.
- 4-piece bonus
- Dashing Strike spends 75 Spirit, but refunds a Charge when it does.
- 6-piece bonus
- Your Spirit Generators increase the weapon damage of Dashing Strike to 60,000% for 6 seconds and Dashing Strike increases the damage of your Spirit Generators by 6000% for 6 seconds.
The 2-piece set bonus of Raiment provides a chunk of the signature attack speed of the generator builds, and offers a very early damage multiplier, easing character progression with this set (as long as you focus on generators for damage).
The 4-piece set bonus turns Dashing Strike adds a Spirit spender aspect to Dashing Strike's Charge mechanics, offering a charge refund as long as you pay its Spirit price. This is easily worked around with the immense attack speed and Spirit generation focus of Raiment/Shenlong builds.
The 6-piece set bonus gives a balanced damage bonus for both Dashing Strike and generator attacks, boosting one after using the other. This allows a degree of adaptability when choosing your damage dealing attacks with this set, and forces you into a regular rhythim of dashing in between strikes.
