Overview

Power Vindicator is a very strong power DPS build for general open world that maintains extremely high dodge uptime and deals great area DPS as well as moderate single-target dps. It can also provide Stability for 5 allies when using Legendary Dwarf Stance as well permanent Protection and 10 stacks of Might, plus extended durations on all boons boons on allies when using Vassals of the Empire instead of Forerunner of Death. It is also technically capable of sharing Alacrity when using 24px Legendary Centaur Stance together with the Salvation specialization. While the altered dodge mechanic requires some time to get used to it, it provides a very satisfying playstyle, especially in OW scenarios where Sigil of Superior Sigil of Stamina triggers frequently.

Skill Variants

Legendary Alliance Stance

• Legendary Alliance Stance provides you with a larger toolkit through the flip mechanic (sources of Quickness, additional Might, Fury, Regeneration, 24px Resultion and Protection) and higher single-target damage, but is more diffult to execute well compared to Legendary Dwarf Stance.

Specializations

Retribution

• Retribution increases your survivability versus harder enemies noticeably.
• Retribution offers an additional 25% endurance regeneration, which results in 100% when paired with Vigor and Song of Arboreum.
• It also increases Vigor uptime through evading while dodging and provides a good amout of passive healing through 24px Steadfast Rejuvenation.

Rune
x6

• Staff can be used for large amounts of CC damage through Surge of the Mists as well as some area healing and an additional block through Warding Rift.
• The Rune of Superior Rune of Fireworks is not required (you can use Rune of Superior Rune of the Scholar as well), but it increases your uptime on Vigor and Fury as well as overall boon duration at the cost of some damage.
• The Sigil of Superior Sigil of Stamina triggers on every mob that grants experience, resulting in infinite dodges in general OW roaming as long as you keep killing enemies. Note that this does not require you to get the killing blow, you just need to damage the enemy enough to gain experience froms its death.

Usage

Pending. For now, focus on using big hitters like Eternity's Requiem, Mist Unleashed, Phantom's Onslaught, and Shackling Wave while dodging as often as possible. If in Shiro, keep Impossible Odds up. Use Scavenger Burst in Alliance.
