Lazy builds DPS builds.

tunepunk · January 2017

Let's face it. We all wanna go lazy mode sometimes and just do the job. Is there any good single bar dps builds, that doesn't require much bar swapping for upkeep? maybe only for switching from melee to ranged, depending on the encounter? any such builds? and expected dps?

Pretty much any build will require you too either bar swap to lay out endless hail, or elemental blockade. If you don't wanna put out either of those, then pretty much any basic build will work then.

is 15 sec too much to bar swap? If not, I guess stam sorc with hurricane. You will have some downtime on endless hail tho.

Other then that, no there are no decent one bar dps builds out there. Maybe for questing and normal dungeons, but please dont queue in a veteran dungeon with this setup. I beg you XD

I don't know the reason you want this . I suppose you are literally missing fingers for weapon swap . If that is the case , I would do this :

Magicka DK (least requirement of weapon swapping)

5 Burning Spellweave , 2 Grothdarr , 3 Moondancer , 1 MSA Inferno

Burning Embers / Elemental Blockade / Engulfing Flames / Molten Whip / Flames Of Oblivion / Shooting Star

Pretty easy rotation . My guess is around 35k single target if buffed properly .

I hope you will not actually do it . (please don't)

I would check some builds from @Masel92. He has 2 magic builds which are built around heavy lightning attacks (you literally just hold down the attack button). He has some vMA videos where he just left-clicks everything to death. The rotation is super-lazy, just buff (1 skill for 30 seconds), apply 1 or 2 dots then heavy attack. Since, most of his damage is heavy attacks you never have to worry about sustain.

Thanks for the mention, I will adjust the two builds for update 13 tonight, I did some testing and the sets used will change (not much though).

Fantastic and creative build. Personally i like this kind of builds with easy rotations. Some parts of this game is very intense and there's a lot to focus on. Dodge, move out of circles, block, resource management, bar switching, health, position, target telegraph and everything else. Kudos for making a fun playable build that doesn't require too much bar switching and upkeep, and still doing a fair ammount of damage. The more things you have to keep track on, the more chanses to make fatal misstakes.

Considering how lousy the lag is in this game, any strategy that minimizes bar swapping in your rotation is a big plus.

Lag is the biggest killer in Maelstrom and Trials...

One way to do lazy mode is to use additional buttons on your mouse (if its a gamer mouse), I know that "^" is not the most comfortable button to reach for weapon swap.
