3.x: Let's Talk Builds!

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.

Lets see those spreadsheets!

Hardcore PvP (where people are actually fighting)

S: 20 + Second Skin + Blood Mad Berserker
A: 20 + Precision Strike + Rolling Thrust
V: 20 + Fast Healer + Glutton for Punishment
A: 0
G: 0
E: 0

(General) Casual PvP (mostly against runners or katana spammers)

S: 20 + Second Skin + Crushing Swings
A: 15 + Precision Strike
V: 20 + Fast Healer + Last Stand
A: 0
G: 5
E: 0

Farm or Carry in Raids or Bomberman in Raids

S: 0
A: 15 + Precision Strike
V: 15 + Fast Healer
A: 0
G: 10 + Endurance
E: 20 + Whatever is needed + Beast of Burden

Armor:
Silent Legion Light Helmet
Voidforged Dragonhide Light Chest
Voidforged Dragonhide Light Hands
Voidforged Dragonhide Light Pants
Silent Legion Light Boots

You should get 48% damage reduction with the Hardcore PvP build, 52% damage reduction with the causal PvP build and 53% with the Farm spec.

What kind of armor do you guys wear? I try to stick to exiled lands stuff, since Siptah PVP is a whole 'nother type of beast

Forgive me, but I don’t know what these abbreviations are

I like these sort of threads! I guess I have three main builds:

SCOUTING

  • S 10 Second Skin
  • A 15 Dead Shot
  • V 15 Resurgence
  • A
  • G 15 Endurance
  • E 5

PVP (I guess “casual PVP” as I only play on official servers not private hardcore PVP servers)

  • S 20 Second Skin + Blood Mad Berko
  • A 10 Precision Strike
  • V 20 Resurgence + Last Stand
  • A
  • G 10 Endurance
  • E

THIEVIN’ AND FARMIN’ (bombing and stealing/decay hunting)

  • S
  • A 15 Precision Strike
  • V 15 Resurgence
  • A
  • G 15 Endurance
  • E 15 Careful Harvest

Probably most of the time I’m roaming around in the scout build.

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.

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to realize that the new stat abbreviations spells out S.A.V.A.G.E.

Reminds me of Fallout’s S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats

You know it was SAVAGES before right?

… I do now…

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.

S
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.
