Hello, I know I'm a year late hehe, but I would like to know... what relic would be good for this build? Now with the expansion of SotO I don't know which relic would be better
Great stuff! I'm a new player and not quite there with the gear. Should I use the Superior Sigil of Earth even though I only have 35% crit chance? Or should I keep my +20% Burning Duration sigil instead (I have 90% burning duration with this atm). Also, is Sinister Gear better than Vipers for this build? Thanks!
When you have fury you will have around 80% crit chance on full ascended gear, so sigil of earth is still worth taking. Sinister is better in this case, because vipers is only worth taking until you cap on burning duration, as anything extra is wasted stats as most of your damage comes from burning. If you aren't planning on playing this in a raid, or are using it in the open world without buff food, you can take the sigil of smoldering and adjust the vipers to give you only 10% burning duration (50% from runes, 20% from trait, 20% from sigil so a total of 90% burning without vipers expertise stat), or take full sinisters with malice and smoldering sigils with balthazar runes for 100% just purely on gear. I only say this because as a new player im unsure if you'll have access to the gold required to keep using the Fishy Rice Bowl consumable. This way you don't have to worry about keeping up the buff food and can just enjoy playing.

@@PipGW2 Tyvm for your in-depth response. I'm going to follow the build you linked, if I figure I can sustain the food I'll replace the 20% Burning duration sigil with the bleed on-crit :)
There isnt really a rotation, you press stuff as it comes off cooldown. Look at what skills i prioritise and do the same if you end up in that situation too.
@@PipGW2 I just got done at the golem. That is what I did. I prioritized the elementals and the fire wall and hit everything as it came off CD. In just full exotic gear, I ramped up to 12.8k dps, and after 16 million damage my arcdps logged 12.6k+
@@GenXHBReacts If you want to use this for raiding, I'd recommend using the Condi Tempest build i uploaded not too long after, or looking at Snow Crows beginner builds. Core builds tend to be fundamentally weaker than elite specs.

@@unknownun1763 To answer both, dagger mainhand will cause both 3 skills to be dashes. The damage of dagger itself is fine, its perfectly playable. The downside is that the dashes are more often than not a problem in actual fights. The earth traitline gives you 20% bleed duration for the earth sigil, extra bleed damage, extra condition damage, and reduces the cooldown of signet of fire which is a massive dps increase.
Due to the way the build is set up, if you take smoldering you'll overcap by 5% burning duration. Even if you adapt to not have that overcap with more sinisters, the return is not worth the extra few stats you get. Better to take earth and have passive bleed damage with +35% duration.

Is it effective if I can't reach 6 bleed stacks?
because with the scepter and the earth seal I only reached 5 stacks

Heya, why is Scepter Main Hand preferred over dagger/focus?
Also, why Earth over Air?
