Flanking build question...

Arbit

So I’m using the vateshran daggers, relequins, black rose prison dw backbar, AND (the big if in my build) Flanking Strategist. My damage is generally really good in dungeons but I tried on my iron atronach today and got 67.5k. I was a little underwhelmed as I was hoping for at least 70k. Ik kinras wrath is supposed to be the meta right now. Is a flat 10% damage from major berserk better than 400 attack power in stats?

I guess I’ll say my bars skills are hidden dagger, blast bones, siphon, whirling blades, and expert hunter for the crit and minor berserk. Backbar is cloak, skeleton archer, trap, vigor, and necrotic potency. My ulti is dawnbreaker cause it’s low cool down grew on me in my vateshran runs. Should I be relying on colossus instead? Ik id be getting that 10% more crit on execute to give me almost exactly 100% crit rate as I’m using thief stone.

Generally Crit is really important because of how Major and Minor Force amplify crit damage.

Yes, 10% from Major Berserk is better than 400 weapon damage on all skills. It also affects more things, like enchant procs and Relequen damage (unaffected by weapon damage). Kinras has better 2-4 piece bonuses as well, with a line of weapon damage instead of max stamina. I’d expect to see a 2-3k DPS increase if you swapped from Flanking to Kinras.

Thank you for the answer. Guess I’ll be farming black drake villa when I get back.
