PvE: 6/6/0/0/2 with full mantras + feedback is the “full DPS” build. 6/4/0/4/0, again with full mantras + feedback, helps you keep up 100% reflect uptime with traited wardens. These are the two builds I, and many others, switch between depending on how many reflects we need. Always using sword/sword and sword/focus, and taking all traits which maximize damage and reduce cooldowns. Gear can be complicated… a mix of berserker’s and assassin’s is probably the best, but assassin’s can be a pain if you’ve invested heavily in berserker’s already. One option is to run berserkers and stack perception, which is what I’m doing now.
Other alternatives without mantras are 5/4/0/5/0, 2/4/0/5/3, 2/4/0/4/4. These are all more or less equivalent— they do a little bit less damage than the 6/x builds above, but are easier to run because you don’t need all the mantas on your bar all the time. They all also maintain full reflect uptime with the traited wardens.
If you’re starting out, I recommend one of the 2/4 builds (doesn’t matter which one). After you play with things for a while, you can switch to mantras if you want to get closer to the “best” builds.
I hope you don’t mind the noob question, but when you say 6/6/0/0/2 , you’re saying 6 in dom, 6 in duel, and 2 in illusions? It’s been a while since I’ve played and researched builds so I’m very rusty on how the lingo works.
I figured that means 6 in Illu, 6 in Inspiration and 2 in dom only because you mentioned traiting for warden uptime. If you could please clarify for a noob
