High damage high sustain D/D build!

It also runs Tempest for sustain and extra damage. Easy peasy might stack with Overload Fire and blast finishers, each overload is a stunbreak, lots of AoE damage spam, earth overload works soo good with earth 5, and then Stone Heart lets you absorb bursts in earth.

It feels great to play with in my opinion. Only class that counters it badly is necro, but other than that this build is awesome!!

I don’t record videos so sorry for the lack of footage.

this one looks classic and good. Cantrips are back ^^. Pack rune might actually be the trick here to make that work. Not shure about intelligence. Maybe doom is better.

Quick note you can run invigorating torrents for weaker damage and less stability but a lot more condition cleanse. If shouts were incorporated I would have used Inv. Torrents but with this build I chose Conduit

To deal with condi bombs I went ahead and took Invigorating Torrents. For the damage loss I’m using Sigil of Battle and Sigil of Strength!

I tried the build and it still isnt good enough. The sustain isn’t up to speed but the condi damage is decent with balthazar runes. Overloading isnt worth it for this type of build that requires using skills in a rotation to build might. I was getting kitten on by an average dh

Here is the updated build (2-16-2017).

Note that I have been changing builds often. I dropped Earth since Arcane seems to have enough sustain and no gimmicks (e.g. Stone Heart), therefore I am running Water/Arcane/Tempest. Tempest is a must for additional sustain and heals that are simply better than Earth. You do not need to use overloads everytime you swap to an attunement. Use overloads sparingly and when you know for a fact that your opponents are out of CC’s etc. Even then your Armor of Earth will come in handy for overloading.
