Hey guys,

I’m debating using one of two builds. Right now, here’s what I’m using. The idea is to have good sustained and dependable damage from my 1-hand (particularly Sword), make frequent use of Virtue of Justice, and support my team with Empowering Might.

With my Precision and fighting style, I can usually keep 2-3 stacks of Might from Empowering Might up on my entire party permanently. The extra health from Honor is nice, and I do like getting free vigor with every crit.

However, here’s what I’m looking at. I’ll lose a good amount of health. I’ll lose some useful symbol traits if I need to play a more defensive role. I’ll lose a pretty nice Empowering Might trait.

I’ll gain 20% boon duration and 20% cooldown bonus on my Virtues. Virtue of Justice also becomes a lot more dangerous, and most importantly, I’ll get +2% damage for every boon on me. In my case, Might and Retaliation should be consistently up, and I can use Save Yourselves for a 14% boost.

So it looks like I can deal more personal damage with the second build, and support my team a bit better with longer boons and more dependable Virtues. My big concern is how bad it’ll hurt to lose Empowering Might.

If you have any feedback or insight, let me know.

What kind of content are you using the builds for?
I think the second build is better overall, since it has a lot more focus and will support your team better, which is what you’re shooting for.
What I find a bit weird is that you have traits for both Consecrations and Signets and talk about using “Save Yourselves!”. This means you’ve taken traits that will only affect one skill, which I wouldn’t do.
Also note that you’re trying to do two things in one build, which will never be as good as fully focusing on one thing.

“Come on, hit me!”

A lot of testing seems to show that Power of the Virtuous only increase 0.5-1% damage per boon.
