looking pure dps build and answers

jackharper

Hello
I'm still looking for a nice DPS class on myself. Now I'm playing gwf, it's a great char but too many people play this character, sometimes it is annoying. So i try to play something else. TR, HR and SW was not for me. Now i want test CW. But i cant find currently build for PURE dps cw on PC.(I found a few build dps CW, but they were either out of date, on PS or criticized in the comments)
Maybe someone have good build?
Additionally, I have a few to ask about
1. If we have DPS SW/TR/GWF/CW/HR with the same IL and the same party. CW it can be just as strong like GWF or HR?
2. How to play this character to end game? It's hard to find pt? etc.
3. What are the biggest disadvantages CW?

You can play a CW as a pure dps class at which point you'd be doing yourself a fair amount of a disadvantage for the end-game content.

My advise for you is to learn the mechanics of the game first, then proceed to build a wizard, then proceed to learn the mechanics of a wizard.

The wizard's learning curve is possibly the longest in the game since many things are not at all explained in the description and can be completely misleading.

There's also this big elephant in the room called "THE META" to which you'd always need to adjust properly if you want to play the end-game content with ease.

So, you'd need to follow all of those above + get BiS gear in order to play a pure dps build. Without knowing the mechanics of the game internally as well as the CW mechanics you will by default underperform greatly asking yourself "why does that kid with IL 9000 have 10 mil more damage than me and a lvl 20 chest armor when I have everything BiS".

Keyword is always timing. Timing is everything for a CW.

Ok so maybe you could explaine in simplified detail all of what you mean?

you will be disappointed with CW's single target. Actually even after changes in mod 13 you can't compete with TRs/GWFs/GFs especially in boss fights. this is the biggest disadvantage. Also you can't go ahead of you party and fight with mobs like GWF because you will die of every mobs sneeze in endgame dungeons.

I remember a post some place here on the forums talking about a CW would catch up to a GWF on the bosses in T9. Which means, a CW has more damage for single target. I mean, what other class has a feat that drops our AoE damage by 10% and gains 30% damage on single target.

In my guild I play catch up with a 16K GWF on bosses. He destroys me on adds, but on bosses I tend to catch up to him.

Yes funny enough I tend to catch gwf's (Same item level) on the bosses in end game content too. not in aoe situation though


EDIT: I know it should not be possible
