Sigils
Spear If you can afford to give up some sustain for more damage, then you may consider these options as well:
- - damage increase after a CC.
- - on-swap burst damage.
Runes
- - more tanky option.
- - very slightly worse than Scholar. If you already have a set of gear with this, keep it.
Relics
- - better
Alacrity uptime, which also increases the length of your burst windows.
Consumables
Food
- - mix of defense and offense.
- - slightly more offensive ascended option.
- - active damage mitigation via more frequent access to dodging, has good synergy with Relic of Rivers if you're taking that.
- Budget version:
- or - cheap precision bump and armor ignoring damage procs that also heal you.
Utility
- or .
Usage
To be added.
Ratings
The burst is great, and most of it is AoE which is a plus, but it's quite hard to stay alive with it and any attempts at increasing the sustain would cost too much damage. This can fold people in seconds, but dies just as easily if you're not careful. A fun high risk, high reward build.
