ARROW STORM
Stamina Warden EASY DPS PVE Build
ARROW STORM is an EASY DPS Build with no Trials Gear needed! Perfect for Veteran and Normal Dungeon content as well as getting started with Normal Trials! This Stamina Warden build is focused on range BOW Damage and Animal Companions.
Primary Sets
The Morag Tong is a great front bar set to run on this Stamina Warden build because we have many poison-focused skills which will be buffed by 10% any time we do damage.
Tzogvin’s Warband is also ideal for this build as it provides passive boosts to weapon critical as well as free Minor Force without us needing to maintain the buff using a Skill - this is incredibly important for DPS builds as the Minor Force buff increases Critical Damage done by 10%.
Stormfist provides yet another great range damage for a bow build Monster Set in addition to the bonus Stamina recovery.
Finally, Thunderous Volley is another fairly easy way to buff the overall damage of this build. Remember too that this weapon can now be obtained from Normal Maelstrom Arena.
