    I wouldn't follow any build to the T, it's your toon and your playstyle. That beng said, if you are talking about PVE, you may notice more similarities than differences in the builds. I recommend a good read of Rinat's guide first, and then compare some of the details with other guides.

    Rinat's hasn't been updated for Mod 11.5, so I would also suggest using a Sellsword or Con-Artist instead of the Fire Archon she recommended at the time. Though you may want to keep the Fire Archon as an active companion.

    Lastly, with Loadouts just coming out, many are opting for SM/Destroyer for trash clearing and IV/Destroyer for single-target. I've been waiting to see some IV guides come out to compare with.

    Just my opionions...

    Im more so seeking what gear is the best to be honest, I read up on afew rotations and such...I found one that works for me...but my gear although my GS is up, I got aton of Armor Pen and junk for Crit... etc.

    Also what companions are useful, Im going to get Danceing Swords when I get the AD +5% crit severity would be a nice bonus.

    As for companions, Siege Master at purple is hard to beat. Air Archon as well. A summoned debuff companion, like sellsword or rebel mercenary helps the whole party. Also, I recommend the Death Slaad. A crit severity companion like Dancing Sword is helpful, but outright damage % increasing companions are even better.

    It's hard to beat Vivified Relic Gear, though Titansteel is just as good (almost identical) if you have the AD for it. If you are stacking power and can afford the loss of crit, I recommend Jarl's Gaze.

    Seriously, though, at endgame, you have to test and try things yourself, to determine what works best for you. I tried John's charisma/combat advantage option, and believe it is good for some builds, but I need the dex to maintain my crit. Alot depends on what equipment you have been able to farm.

    Without knowing more about what you have it is hard to make suggestions.
