Hi, so I’ve been running staff condition for quite a while now and want a change. I want to hit hard with the GS, but my problem is I’ve never liked any of the traits in Domination. Could someone give me ideas & explanations for their choices to help put me on track? (Besides the obvious 20% off GS trait)

not a good time to start using GS. stick to staff, you’re better off.

Why’s that? I mostly just want a change of pace and I’ll go back to staff in a week or so.

You mean because of the phantasms change? You can’t post a tldr for me right now.

because the damage of illusionary berserker is now a 1/3 of what it was.

Phantasmal berserker is either bugged or the damage was nerfed by ~60% in the latest patch…that’s why.

Not to mention, the following flaws exist with the new principles: they must adhere to LOS (twice), they must adhere to blindness, they can be dodged (multiple times), but at the same time, they do not benefit from sigils (unlike every other class ability).

Our LOS is still bugged — before it didn’t matter. Now, however, it does and we are rendered useless with a greatsword in our hands.
