Gear Explanations
Relequen: A new set added in the Summerset chapter, this has become a staple dps set for stamina damage dealers. The buff that it provides is very strong and it is our go to set currently. If you do not have access to Summerset or do not like this set for whatever reason, I recommend using Hunding's Rage in its place, which is an extremely solid set that provides a great stat spread for DPS.
Tooth of Lokkestiiz: This new set is amazing for boosting our damage in a trial. By simply activating a synergy, we are able to increase our damage against trials and dungeon monsters by 15% via Major Slayer for 15 seconds! If you are looking to pair another set with Hunding’s though and want a setup that doesn’t require trials gear, I recommend using Briarheart in this slot; this will give you a big boost to your weapon damage and provide some healing.
Velidreth: A great stamina dps monster set. The proc shoots out 3 orbs that deal really good damage, and the one line of weapon damage is really nice to help boost damage overall. If you cant get Velidreth, I recommend using Stormfist.
Thunderous Volley: Simply the best back bar two-piece set for us to use, buffing the damage of our Volley by a significant amount.

NOTE: Use Flawless Dawnbreaker as your primary ultimate. Weave it into your rotation as it comes up, but make sure it’s while you have power of the light up to maximize your damage. Re-cast Restoring Focus as needed, and use Repentance as you kill monsters for sustain.
