but I don't think there is a one build suits all for all game modes, not anymore anyway.Ĭan state from experience that Blood, Death, Reaper Minion Master with Soldiers stats is exceptionally hard to kill in PvE.

It will be much better for group PvE content (you lose very little damage and gain a lot of sustain and extra life force), compared to mixing stats.įor Open World I still prefer to rely on skills and traits compared to mixing stats, I never felt the need to have a second equipment set for power damage, it would just fill an Equipment Template slot I could use for something else. Reaper is perfectly fine in “full zerk”, if you want far better sustain and Shroud uptime you can simply choose Signets of Suffering (trait) instead of Awaken the Pain, Signet of Undeath (utility skill) instead of Well of Darkness, Signet of Vampirism (heal skill) instead of Blood Fiend, don’t forget Signet of Spite. What are your thoughts regarding all of this? Should I go full zerk or mix in other stats, and if so, in what proportions? One last thing I'm wondering: I've seen people say 'go full zerk in PvE', and others mix zerk + knight or valkyrie.
