Herald - Power Glint

The Official API is experiencing issues; skill, trait and item data cannot be loaded at the moment.
Note: Please note that builds will default to plain icons, these may not be as accurate. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Overview

Power Glint is a decent farming build for open world. Thanks to the long range and wide area damage of Hammer, the build is capable of tagging decently in slower-moving events such as Dragonfall or Silverwastes. While it doesn't handle difficult content well, it can function decently in roaming situations due to its high sustain and self-support.

Pros

Strong utility
Good ranged and melee options
Access to a ton of CC
