Currently I run with AH based build I found on YT, called “all purpose pve pillar build”. I only switched Writ of Persistence for Empowering Might. I use 6x Superior Runes of the Fighter and Sigil of Strength on my hammer. I’m thinking about changing runes for 6x Superior Runes of the Scholar for better dps or 2x Monk, 2x Water, 2x Traveler to upkeep Might and Retaliation for longer. I also consider switching to Superior Sigil of Bloodlust or Superior Sigil of Perception for dps boost.
Do you consider this build to be decent? Of course it’s not zerker, full dps build but I’d like it to stay balanced as it matches my playstyle. Should I change things I pointed out? Also, what food would you recommend? I currently use + power + precision food and Sharpening stones.

edit: forgot to paste link -.-

For PVE:
I run meta zerker builds, but I will try my best to keep some spirit of tankiness.

Made some changes.

-15 into radiance is huge for blind spamming on trash kills for your teammates. You need this in dungeons, it is invaluable.
-I changed your Honor Master trait to Writ of Persistence since this is a nice dps increase camping hammer.
-I took away POV and AH since you don’t need either of them. The hammer and knights gear will make you plenty tanky.
-I moved 20 into virtues so you can get 3 condi removal with Virtue of Resolve. That plus Purgin flames is great condi removal.
-You can change the shout around depending on what your team needs. Or take wall of reflect off if its not needed in that moment. But always change skills around for encounters
-I left 10 in Valor so you can get more toughness and give it to teammates
-I recommend using the staff for its warding and that’s about it, then just stay on the hammer auto attack for the perma protection.
-I changed your runes to beryl orbs, since you are lacking crit damage, and I figured you probably don’t want scholar in there since they are pricey to put in gear you will probably switch down the road.(scholar is best choice)
-Oh and I changed your hammer to force sigil. Night works as well.

Just my suggestions:
