In the spirit of the original round requirements, because I’m having none of dat PvE combat stuff:

Also, before I start throwing my 400 words at you: Shoutout to Kadekawa for hooking me on mdps by repeatedly killing me with it back in the day. He worked out a framework of active abilities that still remain viable until now, even with the overall nerf to aoe damage. Respect your elders, kids.

What does this build do? Well, it kills people. The main focus of it is to dish out as much damage as possible in as short a time as possible. Will it kill everyone? No, it most certainly won’t. As a melee burst dps the prime targets of this build are other dps as well as healers and tanks who gravitate more to the squishy side of things. A properly mitigated healer or tank will present a formidable challenge to bring down in this when you’re on your own. However, it is not really important if you can take down these highly mitigated targets or not ─ know what you can and can’t bring down and pick your targets wisely to wreak as much havoc as possible. To be successful in creating that chaos on the battlefield situational awareness is ─ like with most other dps builds ─ key. A clever range dps will be able to bring down the maximum amount of hurt while mostly keeping out of harms way. You do not have that option as a melee dps. If you want to hit something over the head with your sword then you have to be in range to also get hit back by your victim (as well as all his range dps friends you are now undoubtedly standing in line of fire of). Looking at it from this angle might suddenly make all those defensive stats look really attractive, however, we ain’t going to have none of dem defensive stats in here! But won’t you be extremely squishy, then? Oh yes, you will. In fact, a stiff breeze could probably knock you over. This is why situational awareness combined with your high aoe-burst capability is so important to this build: Try to seize the element of surprise, jump in the thick of it and unleash that burst. Survival is an option, but not the main goal. You took a couple of people with you to the grave? Good, mission accomplished! Don’t try to bother too much about dying, have fun with the killing part that comes before that. Just don’t try to 1v1 much in this, especially when those juicy buffs of yours are on cooldown ─ it really is a build that’s best applied to the collective foreheads of a couple of enemies at once.
