Need A High Survivability But Good Dmg Build
1. Builds in PvP vary greatly from PvE. If you don’t learn this, you’re gonna be slamming your face into a wall for one mode or the other.
2. When you get more experienced, you’ll learn that you need to switch utilities and traits between fights (while out of combat).
There is no finite “build” you can lock in and expect to always do well with. You must learn from experience. Keep an open-mind and always be experimenting to see what works better for you.
3. I would recommend the AH build. It is the most pug-friendly.
Minimal trait requirements are:
- 30 in Valor for the ‘Altruistic Healing’ major trait
- 20 in Honor for ‘Empowering Might’ major trait
- 5 into Virtues for the ‘Inspired Virtues’ minor trait.
Use the rest of your trait points at your own discretion and preference.
This build works best in a dungeon or group setting, where you’re constantly giving boons to allies. You get a heal for each boon, per stack, per ally, which results in a lot of healing for survivability.
4. For equipment, run Knight and Valkyrie attributes on your gear and trinkets
Find a good balance between crit-chance/crit-damage, toughness/vitality, and power.

This is the do everything build. It really is the starting point for most builds. Variations depend on your own playstyle. If you are alone or in pvp, I prefer Monks…doing a dungeon ah. You can use whatever weapons you want… I prefer Hammer and GS.
I also have 1h weapons done up with signets of blood and it works just fine.
We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional

Mace is your defensive weapon. GS and scepter are your offensive ones. As long as you have AH it doesn’t really matter what kind of gear you run. You can run full zerker’s gear and still be able to tank a million mobs so long as you have a mace equipped.
