For levelling? Full damage spec. Power/Precision with Deep Strike trait in the Arms tree. Go all Signets, or For Great Justice if you don’t have Signet of Rage to give you Fury yet. Use the Greatsword and Hundred Blades everything to death. Alternate weapon set? Whatever you want, very little will survive Hundred Blades.
For an endgame build for running dungeons and what not? That’s a whole other can of worms, but losing Deep Strike and most of those Signets is a good place to start (the effects scale badly as you get past lvl 60 or so.)
For leveling I used a toughness build with the hammer. Running in and smacking as many things at once as possible. Not the super fast killer of some other options, but it works very well and is great in events or on veterans and champions.
- A LOT of mobility and knowing how to kite and circle strafe works wonders, especially in a large event when half the mobs coming to get the 10 people there are on you…
Since that’s pretty much the opposite advice of a poster above me… the conclusion here is that… go with the build you find fun and can play well.
