Overview
A Power damage focused Vindicator build with good sustain. It's not quite as durable as the Retribution version but the damage is higher and it's still fairly tanky. It's possible to push this build even further into the high risk, high reward territory by taking 
Devastation but the loss of cleansing could hurt a lot in certain matchups.

Specializations
Variants
All 3 options are viable for the last slot of Invocation:
- improves
Quickness uptime and has synergy with Devastation if you're running that. - allows you to spend more energy each legend swap cycle, giving you more of everything.
- is an excellent passive damage boost that pushes you near the crit cap, and the build has permanent
Fury uptime to go with it.
Specialization Variants
Devastation over Salvation could also work. This results in far higher damage but much lower sustain, making the build a lot less forgiving to play:

- - extra endurance regen and the healing procs ensure effortless 100% uptime on .
- - same as the previous option but offers slightly higher damage instead of sustain. More endurance means more dodges, and dodging is a key part of the build.
- - great offensive stats and extra tankiness via damage reduction.
Utility
- or , whichever is cheaper.

Ratings
Personally I prefer this in 1v1s over the more bunker-ish Retribution build, but that one certainly handles outnumbered situations better and is safer for beginners. Even this version's fairly tank,y probably a bit overtuned even for how much damage it does while having a bunch of defensive CDs for every situation. I like the trait flexibility too, there are more things that can be adjusted on this one to tailor it to your playstyle.
