Suggested Auxiliary Abilities
Ability Ability Increases your damage output towards the affected targets. Even better with a Binding signet on your Whip.
Ability Ability Great for taking care of multiple enemies from afar.

300+Penetration
The stats used are of the budget of Quality Level 10 green gear and should give you an idea of what direction to go to while gearing. More than 350 hit rating a waste since you will rarely glance with that, so the rest of your budget should be used exclusively for Penetration Rating.

DESCRIPTION

A survival build that allows you to shred your enemies in to tiny bits through sheer might obtained by limiting defensive power.

This build costs a lot of AP but otherwise can be used by both beginners and veterans.
It is recommended to change some passives in order to gain more power once you obtain enough penetration rating to switch out Dark Potency.

Elemental Force or Lethality are recommended as replacement.

You should also aim to replace Fluid Defence with Gross Anatomy when you can, as it will make you deal A LOT more damage.

HOW IT WORKS

What differentiates this build from the others is the use of Berserk.

Melee weapons obtain resources when you spend time out of combat, Berserk allows you to pre-cast this consumer causing you to gain the Berserker buff which will make your next hits cause an additional PBAoE attack.

So this is how it looks when you’re about to engage the enemy.

Berserk
Then wait a few seconds to recuperate fist weapon resources.
Engage.
(Buffs)
Chop Shop (will be enhanced by Berserker procs)
Wild at Heart

If your enemies aren’t destroyed by then (pink enemies are tough cookies), start building with Blade Torrent and depending on the amount of enemies use Berserk (group), or Wild at Heart (single target).

AEGIS BUILD MODIFICATIONS

Depending on your gear a single target fist builder could help you with dealing with multiple shields.

Martial Discipline and the passive Regeneration can provide you with an excellent amount of survivability.

Impairs: Both Blade and fist provide you with excellent abilities to impair your enemies with. Recommended to use at least one to impair Psychic Renewal with.

A minor or major health piece will also help you survive.
