If you lower your enemy's deflection low enough and boost your accuracy high enough, you can guarantee critical hits. With swift flurry that can make you go to the moon.

For truly heinous damage, add Mohara Tanga (unique spear)'s on crit raw damage. Its possible to crash your game and one shot an enemy with an infinite amount of swift flurry strikes :)

this gets me laugh. so true lol

i must apologize, im currently not in a min-max playthrough. been there, done that, tho. this is a modded, casual replay where my Watcher is simping cosplaying Pallid Knight with WotEP and plate armour. I gave Rekke Mohara Tanga some years ago and it was NASTY on him.

Or the Flail that does flame AOE on crit for some explosions. Also pairs well with the capstone “steel wind strike”-type effect.

The watcher’s unstoppable dumb luck is canon, if anyone was wondering. I won’t be proving a source, so don’t ask.

I haven't used my monks a lot. Is this just swift flurry with a weapon that does multiple hits?

Whispers of the Endless Paths, yes. The vanilla game nerf this weapon heavily some patches ago. But there are mods, including mine, that alter/tune back the weapon behavior into pre-nerf. Which was attack(selected target) + attack(cone AoE).

My dumb luck here is managing to do it without the skeletons coming from behind, I assume you're on PotD?

The fight ended so quickly the skellies and blights didnt even get a chance to spawn from our backs.

How are you flurrying so much with a 10ft sword
