Bestial durable dos non glass cannon

citizenzero

I was wondering if the community can throw out a few builds. I'm currently running a unstoppable sentinel dos build. I wanted to make a regen dos but found regen in itself sucks. And using the sentinel tree , thunder clap and frenzy and resurgence I get plenty of heals. I'm also using agressor and bestial. But I see so many different opinions. I don't have issues with the build I'm using I'm just wondering what are some other ways to go about it. Another build I'm very curious about is a bleed build that also does toxic and poison..hence using pestilence . Now I don't want to make a infernal bestial where I need to have all these aoe attacks and heal off devour of essence..i tried that and it didn't work for me. Bestial I've found is my first and foremost favorite melee set. Your may have seen me around ..citizen zero in the dark armor with orange streaks and shadow mindslayer bracers...yup that's me. Always willing to help people in game and I'm always randomly getting stuck finishing stuff for people and not leaving myself time to what I had planned lol...somtimes . But back in topic..i know I kinda was all over the place ..but as i stated by build is fine. Butnwhat are other durable dps routes in bestial that I could go aside from unstoppable, agressor and beast(toggle)...and how would another version of the build look adding I'm potions and toxins if we were to use pestilence instead of unsroppbale.so I guess I'm asking for 2 diff builds. I also would prefer to keep sentinel because I feel...like a friend said...sentinel is the new standard for us..yes I lose some dps and crit but I really like staying in the fight longer. Outside note build doesn't have conviction In it. I don't see now a temp, health boost isngood..if 1 tic of damage wipes it all away.
Th community. I hope to hear from all u gurus very soon.

Well that was a bit of a wall of text.

I can help you a bit later w/ a build, but for now I assume 'dos' = dps. In addition, it may help for you to just post your current build (or maybe one that you planned on using), so we have more context.

Someone claiming Sentinel spec is the 'new standard' is weird. I mean, you can go for lower dps specs if you want to prioritize other things, but as a dps you also shouldn't necc need something like Sentinel spec to stay alive either. Also, Conviction isn't taken for the temp HP as much as the short-cd upfront heal. It can be nice, but its not necc essential to have it, and there are alternatives.

Sorry ya I have grammar mistakes all the time. I'm a 1 armed player/typist lol.

Ok I'll post current build and a new version I intend to try on PTS.

Alright, I understand.

That build is okay as is. Again, if you wanted optimal dps it wouldn't be w/ Sentinel spec and using TClap, but I'm pretty sure you're aware of that and don't mind the trade-off. Also Massacre doesn't innately proc AotB (Open Wound adv can, but cutting into its base dps isn't ideal), but it will depend a bit on what your attack rotation is here if that's an issue or not (ofc, it may not be).

citizenzero

Rotation is shred to 5 bleeds then massacre refresh with evis. How would the build change for more dps. As far as powers.

flowcyto

That's Massacre's ideal: spam it w/ 5x Bleed and Shredded up. Since Massacre doesn't innately bleed but does knock then Enrage can be easier w/ it. I guess as long as you use Evis enough then that will stack AotB alright (but perhaps slowly). Its not so much the powers in this case but the spec being sub-optimal for personal dps. But again, that's the trade-off you make for Sentinel's other perks.

citizenzero

How would u convert this to a non sentinel Build? Also how would u make this same outline into a pestilence poison toxic variant

flowcyto

Well, Pestilence also buffs Slashing dmg now, so no huge need to go for the non-ideal Poison route with Bestial (which is more suited to Infernal SN builds).

The more ideal melee dps setup is either using Warden + Vindicator (Wardicator), or Warden + Brawler. You prob wouldn't need TClap then, unless you wanted the short AoE stun.

citizenzero

So I can just remove unstoppable and use pestilence now? Add devour essence and use poison tipped claws advantage and such?

flowcyto

Yea, you can use Pestilence if you want, w/ DE (or Thrash) for healing.
