Shatter Cat Heavy build
A shatter dmg build, not to be confused with pure tank setups that other classes run.
This is a dps build that is made to be in the frontline, capable of deliver bursts and sustained dmg. It come to its fully right played in a small team of 2-3 players or as raid leader leading from the front.
Like all of my builds it this have a game plan a role and a purpose. For The Shatter Cat heavy this plan is to maximize staff defensive usage. The traits give low cd on all staff skills, build have also two extra glamour field who serve 3 purposes. One is to lesser the need of vitality by make it less condition vulnerable, another is to give extra chaos armor and finally it give some extra confusion stacking from the pistol phantasm. With 28 sec cd on chaos armor and chaos storm, 3 glamour fields to apply chaos armor trough blink + leap the defensive uptime is incredible. Also add shatter immunity’s, high toughness and great mobility you have a spec who not only survive on the frontline, with high precision and crit dmg the spec will be a threat to most classes. It come to its rights best in small teams when you play with another dmg dealer.
In group play you want to draw attention, for bigger fights you should change 3% dmg / clone to reflection.
Characteristics:
- MH Sword for leap (extra chaos armor, mobility and cc.) and dmg immunity
- OH Pistol for cc and dmg
- Staff core of the build
- Big chaos armor uptime
- High crit chance and toughness.
Geared for active defense, toughtness is more important than vitality. With lesser crit dmg but high crit chance thru knight gear is use bloodlust sigil instead of precision.
