Power Vindicator is a very strong power DPS build for general open world that maintains extremely high dodge uptime and deals moderate area DPS. It has decent group utility, though the flip mechanic can be annoying for some.

Dodge goes ungabunga. There's something oddly satisfying about squishing mobs just by falling on them. Vindi never stops pumping damage and it has great AoE to boot with fairly high sustain. I've been using this with minor tweaks since EoD for all the story content and metas.

I've been toying with this build a lot, and honestly it gets the job done fairly well, especially with the suggested sigil of stamina. If you chain your dodges well enough, considering you apply MASSIVE vunlerability, you can usually avoid a LOT of damage while cleaning up nicely. This is currently one of my favorite open world build, between the decent sustain on Saint Viktor skills (I personally run some celestial for survivability), utility of Achemorus' abilities (that dash is no joke, even if it has a decent cost, on top of the aoe stun) plus the and massive potential to avoid damage between the Greatsword counter + dodge, it's very satisfying to play. I honestly play with the traits here and there, but I never have felt the need to even go Retribution for survivability (although if you struggle, you could possibly swap Invocation for Retribution, as suggested, since I think Devastation brings much more damage to the table, it feels)
