Just a fun build I use for PVE. You ckittene the Wurm instead of bone minions for single target fights if you desire.

Hm…it’s both similar and very different from my MM build:

It was made mostly with advice from Bhawb with some deviations:
-Full Cleric’s, geared for Healing Power on infusions
-Water runes
-Sigils of Leeching on both sets, Force on Dagger (since I switch to D/D to go up close with the AA) and Renewal on the Warhorn (I switched to range on A/W)
-Personal choice leads me to keeping Blood Fiend over Consume Conditions, so off-hand dagger is what I use for controlling my debuffs (and aggressively throwing them)
-I usually only bring out the Wurm when I’m entering battle, otherwise I tend to keep it unsummoned. I’ll switch it out in dungeons with the Locust Signet when we skip mobs.

My usual rotation is to start in A/W using the Axe skills to build up Life Force if I don’t already have it, Daze when I need it, and use Locust Swarm right before entering Death Shroud to keep getting more LF. Then I Torment→Life Transfer to AoE (if I can) which also heals my minions and dungeon partners.

Thanks to Reaper’s Might, by the time I run out of LF or get to 1/3 left, I leave Death Shroud and switch to D/D. Dagger Auto-attack buffed with Might stacks from Reaper’s Might gives a really nice damage boost. Life Siphon also does a pretty nice stack of damage at range if I need to jump back while still stay on Dagger.

So far it’s worked pretty well! Though I PuG a LOT since my times are so erratic. Of course, I’m casual enough to not care too much about using MM and no one’s complained in dungeons yet (especially since I’ve soloed a few bosses when the party’s gone down)/

Ah, forgot to add that I forgot that I used the default Ascended options in that build editor^

In-game I’m in full exotics with only two Ascended gear so far (though I just hit 400 on Tailoring!), but otherwise I don’t think the stats will deviate too much. Soloing/duo-ing bosses is definitely something I’ve done often with this build.
