Difficulty:
TBD
Strengths
  • High Burst
  • 1vX potential
Weaknesses
  • High Skill Ceiling
  • Squishy

Overview

This build is designed for PvP, the build excels at assassinating key targets or in 1vs1 scenarios because of it's incredible burst damage potential and short cooldowns allowing you to move between targets easily. It can be played well in small scale PVP as well but it isn't very good in Large Scale PVP like Siege or Riftstone fights.


Attributes

Strength
19
Dexterity
30
Wisdom
10
Perception
30
  • Main stat Dexterity until you reach 30, then you push Perception to 30 and rest into strength for some extra HP. Wisdom isn't worth investing into and going past 30 points in dexterity and perception isn't worth over the HP gains from Strength.
