Serenity / Musket PvP Build

This build is unexpectedly a very good build, it has super high damage, mobility and healing power. Mixing the huge damage of Serenity with Traps gives you a brutal trap combo that can kill super quickly while healing you to full health.

This is one of the hardest hitting build I have ever played.. Hope you all enjoy!

We can get away with 100 CON on this build thanks to all that life stealing! Feel free to put more if you want. The 100 STR makes a HUGE difference for your Greatsword damage so if you want to run more con I recommend dropping 50 points from INT first, then 50 from STR if you want even more!

At 100 CON I found this stat split gives the best damage for both Musket and Greatsword, with a focus on Greatsword damage.

Strength

• 25: +5% light attack damage. +10% mining speed.

• 50: +10% heavy attack damage. +25 encumbrance.

• 25: +5% damage increase to backstabs and random critical hits. +10% harvest speed.

I prefer adding the gem slot to Serenity, but feel free to go for a weapon perk here too! Ideally I would have an Opal with a DOT runeglass on it.

The Musket is perfect, since I run 100 STR I think an opal DOT runeglass would be a good gem choice here too, but an elemental split is fine since most people build against thrust anyhow.

The armor has fantastic perks, ideally I would have 5 Shirking Heals, 5 aversion perks, refreshing / weapon skill. Shirking energy is always nice in light armor!

Crippling Powder Burn and Energizing Counter would be the weapon perks to add that I am missing!

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!
