Specializations

Variants

• Bolstering Brew
  increases your survivability at the expense of damage. Usually this is a tradeoff you're free to make, since the build already has a lot of damage.

Equipment Variants

Relics

There are several viable options for the relic slot, Atrocity is just one of many. The current relic can help you out in longer fights, but in shorter ones its effects aren't felt that much. Other great picks are:

• Relic of Rivers
  - the added Alacrity helps your CD recovery. Endurance regen food like
  Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew
  is highly recommended with this relic.

• Relic of the Wayfinder
  - you can essentially sacrifice your relic slot for passive mobility in order to free up your rune slot for something else, like
  Superior Rune of Durability
  for sustain or
  Superior Rune of the Deadeye
  for higher damage.

• Relic of Isgarren
  - passive damage boost that's easy to maintain.

Consumables

Food

• Peppercorn-Crusted Sous-Vide Steak
  - passive damage mitigation and great stats.

• Slice of Candied Dragon Roll
  or
  Omnomberry Ghost
  (whichever is cheaper) - armor ignoring damage procs that also heal you with
  Relic of Atrocity
  on top.

• Spherified Cilantro Oyster Soup
  - has the lifesteal bonus of Omnomberry Ghost but also increases all stats, this is both a defensive and offensive food.

• Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew
  - active damage mitigation through better access to dodging.
  • Bowl of Meat and Winter Vegetable Stew
    - budget version.

Utility

• Superior Sharpening Stone
  or
  Tin of Fruitcake
  .
