So i recently got most of of my magic find, except my pants. i got opal jewelry, almost full explorers with runes of the traveler. Without any traits slotted, i’m at 1616 power, 1535 prec, 984 toughness, and 1014 vitality.

That gives me 2575 attack, 33%crit, 2256 armor, and 12610 health. I don’t like it. even if i take all vit/toughness, it feels squishy, compared to my bunker pve build i use for fractals. i just want this for running ordinary dungeons and CS farming. so how should i be playing with these kinds of stats? should i go 30 zeal and concentrate on spirit weapons/ and virtues 20, valor 20? I’m at a loss, really, but open to any suggestions.

Which traits should i slot? and which weapon sets should i go for?

in terms of farming, you wanna be able to take our enemies ASAP to be effective, as well as obviously not die. no one likes dying. : )) i used to use a 0/15/30/20/5 build in full MF gear and was able to do Cursed Shore alone for the most part. you should be able to take on 5 – 6 risen on your own at any given time without any big problems if you play up the strength of the build.

MF gear i had full explorer’s as well, and for runes i went the pirate x5 and traveller x1 cause i found might more beneficial as it helps increase your dmg but you can stick with traveler as well. if you want extra 10% MF, you can switch one pirate in and lose the 5% swiftness (though how effective that trade of is, hard to say).

the build mainly focused around altruistic healing, where everytime you place a boon on yourself or allies, you get healed a bit. i ran mainly with GS and staff. (staff #4 gives a good heal too but you’ll be rooted, so make sure you won’t get interrupted or it’s safe to use). and 15 in radiance gives you more or less the ability to spam F1, which gives you might, blinds as well as puts invuln on your foes, which makes for a bit more healing and easier time killing. with 30 in valor, you could move your traits around though, but 15 in radiance is decent for PvE. a slightly more “tanky” version is to go 0/5/30/30/5 or 0/0/30/30/10.

though for regular dungeons, i usually opt out of MF sets.

Thank you! I’m trying this now, and it’s working well. I’ve changed my build from a 0/0/30/30/10 to this, and it working much better for me when i’m wearing my MF gear.
