Hey, I tried to make a build based completely on gs play and high damage, but odds are I failed miserably since I have no idea what I’m doing.

That’s the build, and what I’d like is for you guys to either suggest how to improve it, tell me if it’s good enough, or just link me to a good gs build aimed towards maximum DPS.

Well, first it’d be nice to know what specifically you plan to be using this build for. I’m going to go ahead and assume general PvE since you didn’t specify.

Generally speaking, power is the most essential attribute for optimizing DPS and you want to find a good balance between that, your critical hit chance, and critical damage %. Currently in your build that you posted you not only are missing out on a lot of power, but one of the most crucial traits at our class’s disposal for damage output! :O

You definitely do not want lower than 30 in Strength, because of XI (Berserker’s Power). Having a perpetual 15% damage increase when your adrenaline is full is HUGE, not to mention the added +100 power which is an extra 10% direct damage from the base (916).

Also the grandmaster traits in Arms aren’t very important, but the minor trait at 25 is.

Desperate power wouldn’t even be active unless you were low health, which you are obviously aiming to avoid.

Discipline I’m not sure why you wouldn’t have it on VI, as you clearly intend to be using signet of rage.

Try looking at the thread that I made for some ideas; it’s pretty much what the META one is but there’s a lot of details added elsewhere that will probably be of use to you since you’re looking to maximize damage output.

I think you would still be much better off with the 30/25/0/0/15 build. With 30 in Strength you can get “Berserker’s Power” for that extra 15% dmg boost with full adrenaline. Tactics seems like a waste unless you go 15 for “Empower Allies”.

As for skills “Healing Signet” > “Healing Surge” in most situations and I don’t think you really need “On My Mark” when you already have “Rending Strikes”. Unless you really need “Endure Pain” for the added survivability stick with “Signet of Fury/Might”.
