What DPS Builds Are Best Right Now for Raids and Strikes?

-

Hey everyone! I’m returning to the game after some time away, and I’m looking to explore some new DPS builds. I’ve got good experience with raids and strikes and I’m okay with builds that are a bit tricky to master. I’ve looked into the benchmarks from Snowcrows, but I’m more interested in what actually works in real-world scenarios during current meta content like CM raids and strikes. I’m hoping to get some feedback from active players before I invest time into a specific build. What do you all recommend?

Honestly, the best build is the one that you enjoy playing the most. If you’re having fun, you’ll perform better no matter what!

Totally agree! Enjoyment really boosts performance!

There’s really no “best build” that fits all encounters perfectly. Each has its strengths and weaknesses that can make some builds tough to use in certain scenarios but shine against others. Personally, I find the Vindicator build solid across most bosses and it really excels in quite a few fights!
