Okay, In dungeons I do a full rotation of staff, switch to gs, shatter for daze (causing vulnerability) and sometimes I use the daze mantra. I like to stack vulnerability but when I can I shatter for confusion. I run a legion build and almost never have less that 2 illusions up. that is 6% dmg increase almost always and can vuln at 18-25 stacks, as well as 3-6 stack confusion about once a rotation. I love my build, but cant decide wich gear set to go with.
I feel like Im trying to get the best of every build and I may need to concentrate on one type. I’d like your opinions.

Hmm, I’d go for primarily crit rate and damage. So, berserker’s, knight’s and maybe some valkyrie.

I disagree with Vince. While I think confusion in dungeons is an enormous waste of time… clones/ phant’s do a good bit of bleed dmg over longer fights. Depending on what your team composition is i.e. how many OTHER players are fighting you for bleed stacks, I’d consider running a Rampager set. It has the highest precision, allowing for the most bleed stacks, and more procs from any stat food / sigils you may be running (Sigil of Strength owns in this build, as it has no internal cooldown) I suggest running Omnomberry pie or ghosts for the lifesteal and precision for a bit more dps and survivability.

Rampager is also extremely easy to get, it can be crafted or purchased with dungeon tokens from AC, TA, and CoF which are some of the easiest farms out there. Also if you run a staff on swap, Chaos storm and the staff auto attack apply random conditions, which makes the condition dmg aspect of the Rampager set all the more appealing. If you need surviability you can work in a few pieces of Knights for the toughness, or use distortion shatter in your rotation. It’s a loss of dps but you can’t dps while dead.
