This forum is my most trusted source of reliable information about this game, given the wildly contradictory things you read on the net. And it appears the consensus here is that it depends on context, but either works.
@Rust & @Kikigirl, neither of you use Authority, but I assume you use thralls? Is it your feeling that there are much better perks elsewhere or that Authority isn’t enough bang for the buck?
I’m currently running the following build:
STR-0
AGI-15
VIT-5
AUT-20 (Commanding Presence, Well Trained)
GRT-0
EXP-20 (Efficient Harvest-Beast of Burden)
We are PvE only, I love to build and craft, but my wife is more combat oriented and wants to do more dungeons/vaults/combat, etc. We use bows to pull and punching daggers up close in order to get as much attack speed possible to help Commanding Presence, incremental as it is. I have a Berserker and my wife is still using an Accursed III Fighter.
Does that context change the calculus any? Any suggestions for a better PvE build. If you’re not putting points into Authority, and you’re fighting alongside your thralls, how do you keep them alive? Do you just have outstanding gear? I’m finding it hard to improve our gear without the many recipes I still lack. On EL I was able to go to specific places to get specialty books and recipes. Here I have to pray to RNGesus and I don’t think he plays on this server.
