If you’re a dps role then brass isn’t worth it. War maiden also only buffs magic damage and some Templar and destro skills are fire damage. You’ll probably want to run Julianos and moondancer in some format or Julianos and infallible aether. Lighting staff in the backbar or your wall of elements bar and inferno on the front. This, along with the proper rotation should put you easily over 20k dps pretty much right away. You have shields so brass really isn’t necessary. CP allotment is going to matter as well, of course.
