Dex based Might DPS

I'm just looking for a second opinion on this build. Originally, it was a standard strength based Might build, but I had a hard time proccing Enrage stacks/EU while using Shockwave. Thoughts? Advice? Thanks in advance.

    If it's for Dex-based Might, then I'd prob pick FotTiger, and use Haymaker, Demolish and/or Uppercut- since they are all charged attacks. FotTempest can work too, but is more rng-based and may not be reliable enough for things like Haymaker. Also, Steadfast doesn't work as the EU here since it only procs on MA attacks, and not w/ Might's. Here's how I may edit the build:

    For single-target dps, it uses Demolish to put up and refresh its debuff, and uses Haymaker as its main attack otherwise (against trash that you don't want to KB, you can favor using Demolish more). You can also use Havoc Stomp to AoE enemies and to group them up. If you also want a spammable charged AoE that knocks, then you could add Roomsweeper (or maybe Arc or Ruin or Brimstone from HW), but you'd have to make room for it (maybe replace Aggressor for it). Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Str_Rec.

    --

    Regardless, you can always just go back to normal Str-based Might instead, and you shouldn't have many energy issues w/ Shockwave, assuming you also take the knock-in adv (which is a good idea anyways, since it can clump up mobs in front of you for melee follow-ups). For example:

    This version has SW for wide, spammable AoE. Against single-targets, it can use Demolish to initially put up Demolish, and then alternates between 1x Uppercut and 3x Haymaker. Gears mostly for Str, w/ some Con and Rec.

    The latter build is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!

    Yep, that 2nd build is a bit more of a typical Might dps one, so it should be pretty solid. Hope it works well for you too 8)
