Recommended aspects

Stat priority

  1. Strength

    Physical archetype — full STR is the community default

  2. Vitality

    Optional insurance while learning boss patterns

Gear priority

  1. Skill Damage and Critical Damage affixes first
  2. Attack speed where available to fish for the 15% knockdown proc
  3. Ring slot before head/body — most offensive lines per item

How to play

  • Trigger Elemental Reckoning (Mastery 50) early so all attackers benefit from +35% damage
  • Fish for the 15% per-cast knockdown — it works on bosses and stacks toward 50% with the knockdown bonus
  • Cycle elemental skills between melee strings

Progression

  1. Spin for Dragoon (or save toward the 500-spin Exotic pity added in Update 1.5)
  2. Level the class to Mastery 50 to unlock the Draconia passive — this is the whole point of the build
  3. Prioritize STR gear; add team-amp uptime with cooldown affixes

Alternatives

Sinister Trigger

Ranged Exotic with comparable boss damage if melee isn't your thing.

Good for

  • S-tier in the freshest (Update 1.5) tier list
  • Best documented team damage amplification in the game
  • Knockdown CC that affects bosses
  • Built around Dragoon, rated 8.5/10 for boss rush content.

Weaknesses

  • New class — fewer independent ratings than the established Exotics
  • Exotic spin odds (0.05%) until pity at 500 spins
  • Team amp only fully pays off in group play
