Weapons

Serenity is always the best option for great sword due to its illegal perk combo. Greatsword Dps is a waste of time without this weapon unfortunately so if you don’t have it you should run another build until you acquire it.

Rotations

  • Relentless rush into enemies to position yourself

  • Rupture for initial Grouping

  • Skyward for rend & to get back into onslaught stance

  • Heavy attack and focus on positioning, re apply rend on cooldown.

Example

The Greatsword scales evenly with Strength and Dexterity, so aim for a reasonably even mix of STR & DEX when at higher gear score aim for 350 DEX , if needing more con pull 50 from DEX then rest from STR

Attributes are based on max gear score as you level just get as close to key break points as you can while having enough con to survive.
