Equipment Variants

Runes

• Rune of Superior Rune of the Scholar - it's a good option if you don't need the passive mobility boost from Surging.

Sigils

Spear

If you can afford to give up some survivability for better bursts, take the following sigils:

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Rage - the Quickness makes it easier to land Mind the Gap.

• Sigil of Superior Sigil of Hydromancy - the sigil itself can do a lot of damage, but one of the main reasons for taking this is that it can instantly proc Sigil of Rage (if you hit something in melee with the weapon swap).

Consumables

Food

• - great offensive stats and some direct damage mitigation.
  • - a bit more defensive but equally viable option.

• - this food provides some defense against condition damage without sacrificing damage.

• - active damage mitigation via more frequent access to dodging, and the Might generation has synergy with various traits.
  • Budget version:

• or - cheap precision bump and armor ignoring damage procs that also heal you.

Utility

• or , whichever is cheaper (note that the sharpening stone lasts twice as long).
