I use Full exotic knight gear and full knight trinkets with soldier runes(yes yes, Laugh at the healing shout noob).
I also have Power/toughness/vit armor stored.
I use mace/shield and Sword/warhorn. I also have a longbow for places that are anti-melee.
I am bored of my build and I need a new one. I just don’t feel like spontaneously changing gear but if it is a build that can help me gradually transit from the Knight gear to whatever gear your build that you suggest require, that is okay.
