[This build is primarily for PVE.]

I am still working on getting better equipment, particularly trinkets. However, all of my armor is knight’s with berserker weapons and I am currently aiming for berserker trinkets as well. My weapons are Sword/Torch + Staff.

As for my traits, I am considering Empowering Might in place of 10 points in virtues. I am also questioning wondering if Strength in Numbers and Signet Mastery is worth it at all.

As for utilities, I am pretty lost. I really like Purging flames for it’s burning AoE, combo field and condition removal. However, I feel that Save Yourselves is too selfish. Should this be replaced by Stand Your Ground instead? I only got Bane Signet since I didn’t know what else to get. I was thinking Hallowed ground for this one.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Try 10,30,0,5,25 with s/f. Your build doesn’t pick up condition removal. You sacrifice a lot for strength in numbers

What’s at 25 virtues? Is the % damage per boon worth it? Also, no recharge on shouts and aegis at 50% health? Aren’t those essential?

Valor is pretty useless, generally only one shout is used (retreat) so it’s not worth it, 1% damage per boon is just a bonus really.

Aegis at 50% is pretty useless. However, if you like shout cooldowns, take the 10/25/0/10/25 build, which trades a negligible amount of damage for more supportive flexibility. As for the weapons, replace torch and staff with focus and greatsword, since both are much better alternatives.

Finally, the utilities … here it comes down to learning what is needed when. Purging flames is almost always good stuff due to burning, fire field and condition removal. Other important utilities are Wall of Reflection, Retreat (to block big hits), Stand Your Ground/Hallowed Ground (if you need stability), the ghost shield (for really projectile-heavy encounters), bane signet (if you don’t have anything else to do) and one or two I’ve probably forgotten right now.
