Ranged hunter

Big Game Hunter

Long-range musket build for deleting dangerous targets like crocodiles or plague hunters before they can force melee.

Stats

  1. Max Precision as the main damage stat.
  2. Only add enough Endurance to reposition and keep aiming comfortably.
  3. Health is less important because the plan is to kill before enemies reach you.

Talents

  1. More damage the farther you are from the target.
  2. Ranged damage and Quickhand for faster reloads.
  3. Sniper Focus: while aiming, gain 7% bonus damage every 2 seconds up to 4 stacks.

Reliable Musket brings 20% crit damage and fast reloads. Pikeman pieces add 15% two-handed weapon damage.

Rapier burst

Boss Killer

Rapier of Devastation build for bosses: apply 8 light-attack marks, then detonate them with heavy attacks.

Stats

  1. Precision stays the main stat for this setup.
  2. Add Endurance so you can complete the 1-8 combo and heavy attacks smoothly.
  3. Move a few points into Mastery if you want maximum crit chance.

Talents

  1. One-handed weapon crit chance.
  2. One-handed weapon damage.
  3. Single-target damage and consecutive-hit damage bonuses.

Rapier of Devastation marks with light attacks and detonates with heavy attacks. Eight stacks give the biggest boss burst.

Boarding AOE

Boarding Bomber

Plague Halberd build for boarding: sweep groups, stack hits, then explode clustered enemies while healing through the fight.

Stats

  1. Push Strength to 25+ because Plague Halberd scales with Strength.
  2. Add Endurance so repeated swings do not empty your stamina bar.
  3. Do not invest heavily into crit because the main Plague Halberd explosion cannot crit.

Talents

  1. Two-handed weapon damage.
  2. Stamina reduction for weapon swings.
  3. Dominating Presence for 18% melee damage after an enemy dies within 8 meters.
