Gear and Item Set Info
Build is heavily based on Alcast's build but using dagger instead of flames as for most people outside of vet trials using pots for major brutality isn't really that viable.
Also using Kra'ghs instead of Velidreth for similar reasons as dagger - it's much much easier to get hold of for most as vet CoS is a tough dungeon.
At CP370 with gold weapons/weapon glyphs, and poisons on my bow, I'm getting 27k DPS on a skeleton dummy.
MH - Hundings - Precise (Nirnhoned when you can afford to) Dagger - Poison Glyph
OH - Hundings - Precise Dagger - Weapon Damage Glyph
Bow - Hundings - Precise (Nirnhoned when you can afford to) - Weapon Damage Glyph (Damage Health IX when you can afford to, I only run poisons in guild trials)
All Armour Divines
All Armour glyphs stam, unless you're struggling for health then put a health glyph on your heavy piece.
Heavy piece can be helm or chest. Base this on whatever monster helm you get.
Helm - Medium or heavy Kra'ghs
Shoulders - Medium Kra'ghs
Chest - Medium or heavy Hundings, or medium Spriggans
Belt - Medium Hundings or Spriggans (go light Hundings here if you'd rather have 5-1-1 for Undaunted passive, I choose not to)
Gloves - Medium Hundings or Spriggans
Legs - Medium Hundings or Spriggans
Feet - Medium Hundings or Spriggans
How you work in your Spriggans pieces is up to you - depends what you either get lucky with farming it or what divines pieces you find for cheap on traders. The important thing is that you have two pieces of Spriggans armour to make up the five piece alongside your jewelry.
Neck - Spriggans - Weapon Damage Glyph
Rings - Spriggans - Weapon Damage Glyphs
I have Sunderflame too which is interchangeable with Spriggans. I run Sunderflame in trials when there are several stam dps classes and nobody else is.
General Info
Rotation:
Apply Armaments & Cloak as you're approaching boss
LA = Light attack
HA = Heavy attack
Caltrops - LA - Poison Arrow - LA - Endless Hail - LA - Rearming Trap - LA - bar swap
Shrouded Daggers - HA - Noxious Breath - HA - Blood Craze - HA - Venomous Claw - HA - Deadly Cloak - bar swap
Reapply Armaments every 2 full rotations so it's always up.
For the heavy attack section I just keep my finger down on R2 and use the ability as my character is swinging in so it animation cancels the end of the heavy attack. Probably a more effecient way to animation cancel but this works well for me and I'm comfortable doing it.
Champion Point Tips
Mundus - Lover, works out at ~4k penetration with purple divines armour.
With CP - make sure before moving on to another stat you get it to just over a whole number. e.g. dont leave a skill at 9.9%, as you'll be losing that 0.9% because it rounds down.
This is how I have it set out at 370CP.
Blue
Piercing until you have about 9-10k penetration, then split the rest into might, thaumaturge & precise.
Red
Split across hardy & elemental defender.
Green
75 in mooncalf 49 in tenacity, then work on warlord
Poison Arrow is supposed to be Poison Injection Morph – had a brain fart and thought arrow was the morph for some reason, and I have no idea how to edit this thing.
And where I say in the CP about penetration – that 9-10k is including penetration from your gear/mundus, not just CP!
