Overview

Power virtuoso is a power based virtuoso build with good burst potential, long range damage, and is simple to play. As a virtuso, clones are replaced by blades, so they no longer tank for you but they don't disappear after the fight.

Compared to condition virtuoso, this build offers excellent burst damage, but has low sustained damage and sustain.

Very easy to play and very good burst. Compared to condition virtuoso, however, this power variant doesn't have sustain and has much lower Blade generation in combat.

Power Virtuoso is a very solid Power DPS build with good damage at range and a simple rotation. It is an excellent option in farm zergs due to its high burst and good sustained DPS but may be on the squishy side for solo play. I strongly recommend players try this build, as it's relatively easy to get very high damage with it.
