I've been around on and off since beta as a casual player. Only very recently did I start looking at builds and worrying about dps. This is probably a stupid question but I really don't know and would appreciate it if someone could explain it to me. My question is Why does every stamina build I find online seem to have Caltrops and Rearming Trap in them. The abilities don't look Overpowered or really strong but they are in every Stamina build. Why?

Shanjijri✭✭✭✭Rearming Trap is also usefull because of the Fighters Guild passive, which gives more physical damage (IIRC) when you have a Fighters Guild skill slotted.0 -

✭✭✭Caltrops is a long duration DOT that does good damage and many things (including gear based abilities) will proc off DOT damage.

✭Rearming gives the 3% weapon damage increase per FG ability slotted and if you also use flawless Dawnbreaker that's an 11% weapon damage increase, paired with the 12% from medium armor.
Razor Caltrops and Endless Hail add significant AOE DPS to classes which tend to specialise more in single target DPS. And the more sources of damage means more overall damage. I'd prefer more options to choose from on stam but both these options are solid for stam DPS.Dark Flare is the Beginning, Radiant is the End. Hail the Light Bringers!0 -
