So the new update’s been out for a while and the stats have been explained, played around with, and I think the meta builds have settled in nicely into their niches.
So, what builds do you guys use? Let’s break it into categories:
Farming
PVE Combat
PVP Combat (If you play on a relevant server)
General Purpose
You can post one build or several, but the categories will help us realize at a glance what the build is meant for.
I’m a basic bee-atch so I’ll get the (probably very) obvious ones out of the way:
PvE “Wizarding 1.0 Build”: I was able to do everything in SP when 3.0 dropped and it was a fun time but I can’t quite remember some choices;
Agility 20: missile buff and double jump?
Authority 20: well trained and heal from damage
Expertise 20: efficient (obviously) and pack muel
The agility is there to help with keeping away from mobs and to assist the thralls with arrows, and obviously pack mule and harvesting are just so damn good. I did not know you could have multiple zombies so did everything with bears and summoned demons but I’m doing another lap through with this one to refine it.
PvE “Bonan the carbarian”: the idea was to go nuts and maximise damage through specific corruption choices but it’s been dialled back a bit as the stamina penalties are just too harsh. Another one I need to revisit, but this one has been tested with the unique conditions of online as opposed to the wizard.
Strength 20: berserker and blood mad
Vitality 20: resurgence and last stand
Expertise 20: it’s flipping pack mule and efficient again of course
I’ve got another one that’s a strength/vit/grit on siptah that’s a lot of fun because you can rush the vaults pretty early but I’m not confident in my siptah play as yet.
When they changed it I could not remember for the life of me what they were, I forgot accuracy used to be an attribute for a solid two days. Drove me crazy.
To stay on topic, I’m just farming lately and thralling.

A 5
V 5
A 20 passive regen and well trained
G 10 faster regen
E 20 double last harvest and full run speed
Thrall works as both a distraction while knocking things out and protection against nastier things like mini boss sabers. And of course the increased concussive damage helps dragging more poor souls back to base faster. Also, thanks to @SirDaveWolf I was made aware of the nice damage on the katana combo finisher so you can clear out trash mobs pretty well on your own.
