Rapier / Fire Staff PvP Build

My favorite build is the best it has ever been. Amazing burst damage, mobility and now with unfair amounts of healing power / DOT resistance. This build is amazing for any PvP combat but really shines as a solo PvP build in 1vX fights!

This build has some serious style to its gameplay, so I hope you guys give it a try!!

I always prefer 150 CON for any build that has to do melee fighting, but this guy has the mobility to get away with less! With the new gem scaling I wouldn’t recommend more than 50 points in DEX!

Since I made this guy on the test server all my gear is best in slot!

Feel free to go for penetrating backstab instead of attunement on the rapier.

I love having Vigor on the armor, the anti-dot protection is huge for reducing damage taken over a fight. If you want to run Shirking Heals you can drop some elemental aversion or refreshing for it, but this build DOES NOT NEED shirking heals!

The jewelry is perfect!

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