I chose to run Marauder’s as a compromise to zerker gear – I run LB and then GS or Hammer or M/F depending on what I’m doing. Learning to dodge in drop traps and drop out works best for me.
@ Rirgul, when I first logged in I was in Knight’s gear (it used to be a thing I think) and I swapped over to try condition damage to have more synergy with my minions because I thought they scaled on my condition damage stat.
I would like to be reasonably survivable with my minions and be able to down content at a good pace. I like using my staff but enjoyed daggers and scepters along the way. Really I just need help evaluating the pros and cons of condition damage & minion master vs. direct damage and minion master and then the best all around gear for the two styles.
I have my old gear and can try Demonic’s build and see how that goes, but I would like to understand.
I am newly returning and love the GW1 feel of the minion master. Rise is just .. pure fun.
I am trying to wrap my head around armor choices (I only have access to exotic) to start. Rabid/Carrion for conditions & minons? Settlers/Cleric for healing minions?
Direct damage armor (Berzerker’s is not for me too squishy but a mixed set perhaps?) for power & Minions?
I have searched for information and all of the above seemed to be given in one thread or another.
If someone could guess I don’t yet understand the synergy between condition stuff and my minions and my damage vs. power/precision builds and my minions..
I realize this is all basic stuff for most people but for a nub like me it is kind of hard to wrap my head around.
