I’m curious about what subclass combinations work well with the Oakensoul ring these days. Traditionally, many players used a heavy attack sorcerer with Sergeant and Deadly setups. However, I’m looking for new class combos or gear sets that can give equal or better results. Please skip suggestions about Rakkhat Voidmantle!

I’ve been using the Oakensoul with Sergeant’s and Noble Duelist, but recently I switched to an Aedric Spear Templar focusing on Sorc pets. I added the Banner Scribe and I’m hitting around 80k DPS just from heavy attacks. It works great for all overland content and even dungeons, which is decent for a starter character trying to grind out sets.
I get what the “fake one-bar” fans are saying about ditching Oakensoul and utilizing passive buffs from the back bar. I’m still planning to stick with it for now, though. After just coming back from a hospital stay, I’m eager to try swapping out Dark Magic for Assassination and switching Noble Duelist for Order’s Wrath. I expect it could net me an extra 10-15k DPS. No rush to make a decision, so we’ll see how it goes!
Honestly, I’ve found that you can get better results by dropping Oakensoul altogether. There’s a build from Hyperioxes that reportedly hits 138k DPS on the dummy, but fair warning, it requires a different mythic item. Still, if you’re after raw numbers, a one-bar build without Oakensoul might be the way to go.
Wait, does that mean he’s using a different mythic than Oakensoul? Which one?
