Hey guys.
So I used to play a Legion build back in October, but with school and such I had to take a break as midterms/finals kept getting in the way. Then I came back and immediately realized a damage reduction, and my cool downs were WAY longer. So I researched and found out they got nerfed…

So I’m trying a 20/20/0/0/30 Shatter spec, but I am not sure which runes/Sigils to use to keep my damage but have decent survivability

If it matters, I’m using Ether Feast/Blink/Mirror Images/Decoy/Moa Morph as my utilities, and Staff/Sword Pistol

Also, I’ve seen cases for both but is GS > Staff for Shatter builds?
.
Any help I can get from you Guys would be awesome

Most people use Runes of Air (super expensive), from what I gather.

Sigils, you have a lot of flexibility, but mainly get a Sigil of Energy for your Staff, and possibly an on-crit rune for one of your swords.

Personally, I prefer staff in shatter builds, but gs can be useful, it depends on whether or not you want to be more aggressive or have the utility/defensiveness.
