Most optimal dungeons build? (fractals)
I have always maintained that in higher level fractals, damage avoidance is far more useful than damage mitigation.
For this reason I always use glass cannon gear and use defensive utilities and skills. We have so many ways to just flat out not take damage from attacks it seems like a waste to build up defensive stats; especially when anything you fight is going to one-hit you regardless. We also have fantastic DPS while wearing gc gear that just doesn’t translate as well without it.

Fractals? Glass Cannon. You really, REALLY don’t want to get hit whatever your defensive stats are, so might as well forgo defensive stats altogether in favor of pure offense.
Glass cannon for higher levels since you will still die when you get hit even with defensive gear. For the lower level fractals you might want a little bit more defense so that you won’t get downed immediately when you make mistakes (making mistakes is a part of the learning process after all).
and if you’re good at avoiding damage,
It honestly doesn’t become that much of a challenge to completely avoid all Agony until you get to Jade Maw

I agree to everything said here. Go glass cannon anything else is just a waste of everyones time. What utility-skills you need depends on the fractal and on the boss you are fighting. In general feedback is a good one =)
I change my utility-skills nearly always as we enter a fractal, before we fight the first boss, after we fought the first boss and so on.
