Finisher / Musket PvP Build

The apex of Musket builds. This guy hits like a truck, has crazy good mobility, and heals like you have a pocket healer beside you at all times. A burst build shouldn’t be this hard to kill.. Please don’t buff Musket..

100 CON gives this build just enough health to take punishment and heal it away. Some of the healing even scales form your weapon damage so building high damage even helps your survival!

You can always take 50 points out of DEX if you want to add more CON or even FOC for more healing and cooldown reduction.

Finisher is a great rapier even if your not playing a bleed kit, so for this build you have to make sure you add Keenly Jagged to it! The gem is Nature damage to match all the nature damage buffing we have, with an abyssal DOT so it can be stacked with the much stronger Nature DOT from the musket!

The musket is perfect, with Jagged / Attunement for damage and procing finisher. Refreshing power shot is crazy good, allowing you to fire a second power shot within a few seconds of the first. This gives crazy burst damage to this build! Again it has a Nature gem on it with a Nature DOT!

The ideal armor perks are Shirking Heals, Refreshing, Elemental Aversion in that order. Accelerating traps is a must have here too! Both Crippling Powder Burn and Omnidirectional Evade are great choices to add to your armor too. As always make sure you have shirking energy on those legs!

The armor gems are all +2% Nature Damage runeglass for that burst!

The jewelry is nearly perfect. The Amy and earing are exactly what I want, but the ring could have Nature Damage instead of Refreshing. All fitted with opals for elemental resist.

As always use the best food you can find, honing stones, and health / mana / regeneration potions! Of course remember to use the desert sunrise drink to give you more DOT resistance!
