Crit vs Ability

I have noticed many builds use ability based modifiers for bastet. I have decided to try a different style focused less on her abilities and on the speed/damage of the flail. The play style is akin to that of a classic nemesis with a pull/stun from the bastet ult and the added benefit of the root from skill 3.

Please feel free to light me up over this build, it is entirely experimental for me!

Well if you're going for what would be a basic attack build (crits from Rage, DB, Demon Blade + Qin's passive applying only to crits), then I don't think you should choose unless you're sort of intending it to be a hybrid (basic attack + ability) build.

That said, before we go further, I'd like to know, how many basic attacks do you expect to apply to a given enemy at once? How are you using your abilities to get more basics in?

Thoughts:

I assume you're relying on Ensnaring Claw to lock enemies down for a bit, due to the root and slow. That said, leveling it increases damage, but doesn't provide decreased CD, increased CC lockdown, etc. It really should be your last priority in leveling. You can get very reliable damage from Razor Whip and so it should usually be your first priority, other than perhaps your ult (where you get decreased CD with each level). Your second priority should be Pounce as the damage is generally good and you get decreasing CD.

Also, your skill leveling otherwise is messed up as you have 7 points in your 3. That needs to be fixed.
So you're not going to sit there getting 5 hits off on an enemy consecutively, right? At least, you can't regularly expect that. Why not at least make this more well-rounded, by replacing Demon Blade with Fail-Not, making this at least a more hybrid build where you can still deal good damage regularly with abilities, whether or not you get basic attack hits in?
And while Qin's Sais is a great DPS item, you need to be getting consecutive hits in to do that. Instead, consider replacing it with Hydra's Lament in your main build, giving you further CDR for ability use, and increased damage on basic attacks immediately after ability use (such as locking them down with Claw). I wouldn't have Qin's as your standard item.
You also do list Hastened as an optional 6th...that's an item that will allow you to stick, but if you're intent on saying Rage DB and Demon are core, then Hastened should be core too, not The Crusher.

While I definitely don't recommend crits on Bastet, I'm sure you can have fun with a crit build, but I would definitely make some adjustments to still allow it to fit her strengths at the same time (e.g. abilities).

I picked Crusher over hastened for the power over hastened, also it increases the dmg of subsequent attacks, allowing for more damage in less hits.

Hi mini,

Note that 's bonus damage is all applied on ability damage, not basic attacks. And after the first application, other abilities only apply half the bonus damage within the item's CD. Still, Crusher should be expected to deal more damage in general due to the 15 higher power and the % pen, and the attack speed does fit with the build. The concept of Hastened is to stick on enemies to ensure you're able to get your basics off consecutively to secure your kills, but if you find you don't need that sticking capability, that's fine.

Oh, I misunderstood the bonus damage to apply to all attacks after it procs. Thanks for the clarification. I would prefer hastened and qins with no crusher in that case.

I tend to only need 3-4 hits to kill most enemies other than tanks with this build; also I find that of the starter items for slash and arena, bluestone provides the most sense, because yes this is still a "hybrid" if you would call it that. It is irresponsible to ignore ability damage totally.

My moveset has focused pounce into claw to slun and then kill with basics, eliminating the razor whip mostly from the combo.

I have both Qins and hydras as last items for situational use.

In slash and arena scenarios I have seen significant improvements in crit builds over ability focus builds with at least my play style, so this is more of an experimental style to provide options for the god.

Understood, yeah I got that from your initial "experimental" comment. And explaining that you're dropping the 2 from the combo in this specific playstyle helps.

That said, the 2 if you miss your 3 is still a good skill to level earlier IMO, it's easier to hit than the 3. What do you do when you miss the 3? Just back out and wait for your abilities to be back up? The 3 is the only CC Bastet has outside of her ult, and she's generally vulnerable to CC herself.

I could understand that, I dont think it would hurt to prioritize the 2 over the 3. I still stick around if i miss the three, my attack speed can usually keep up with them as long as I use strategic movement techniques.
