Always adjust as needed for YOUR specific situation!
the build basics
This build is setup to be a Stamina damage dealer. However, if you want to be Magicka based there are a few morphs you can change and you are good to go. Make sure to also change your glyphs and attributes to Magicka if you do!
This basic information that is consistent across all of the DPS Builds has been moved!

IMPORTANT NODES
Deadly Aim
This seemed to be really close to even with Biting Aura when not using the Velothi Mythic. Slot over Exploiter if under 25% Off-Balance uptime
Backstabber/Fighting Finesse
Top priorities over the 4 shown if under the crit dmg cap
Reaving Blows
Slot over Exploiter if self-healing is needed

setup A: SINGLE TARGET BOSS SETUP
BEST SUITED FOR BOSSES WITHOUT SECONDARY TARGETS
(click the arrows to cycle through examples)
Can swap to Velothi for more AoE but less Single Target (2h or Staff BB)
Can swap to Velothi for more AoE but less Single Target (DW BB)
If wearing Velothi, can drop Barbed Trap if a flex spot is needed
Can still run the Banner Setup from U46 as well, but Relentless Focus is now wasted as a backbar slot.
SETUP B: aoe BOSS OR TRASH
best suited for MULTI-TARGET scenarios
(click the arrows to cycle through examples)
AoE Boss Setup - Adjust Light pieces as needed for Pen (2h or Staff BB)
AoE Boss Setup - Adjust Light pieces as needed for Pen (DW BB)

NOTES ON SCRIBING AND MAGICKA OPTIONS
Banner Bearer
Shock Focus | Class Mastery Signature (Necro or Templar) Cavalier’s (Nightblade) | Your Choice
Necro class mastery seems slightly stronger but it won’t make a big difference
Puncturing Sweep and Impale
If going Magicka, swap to these morphs from Biting Jabs and Killer’s Blade
