MAX Shield zDPS Seer Build [HUGE Survivability & DPS] - Mistfall Hunter

The beauty of this Seer build is that it is highly effective in normal, chaos and cataclysm. You are the linchpin of your team in terms of both raw damage output via Punishment Rune & Burst Rune combos. This setup provides incredible survivability via Psionic Shield & Shelter Rune which are all well-synergised via the talents detailed in this guide.

SKILLS:

DPS Skills: Psionic Orb Punishment Rune Burst Rune

Survivability Skills: Psionic Shield, Shelter Rune, Self-Preservation (Talent)

Utility Skills : Wind Surge

TALENTS:

Below is my current setup for this build. You may want to remove a point via synergy and place it in opportunistic strike to make Wind Surge inflict a stun.

AFFIXES:

This build functions by pushing Valor , Creation and Fervor to level 5. This creates a huge amount of synergy between our defensive and offensive talents which subsequently optimises our DPS output and total damage absorption potential for both us and our team mates. It gives us 25% increased magic damage when we reach maximum stacks of Fervor. Because our talents for our shield value/strength is tied to both magic damage and attack %, this setup is incredibly effective and, perhaps most importantly, affordable! Valor gives us a flat 7.5% attack damage increase and the defence penetration comes in handy here! 2 points in Aegis provides a further +30 defence which is welcome. 1 point Fervid gives 1.8% to our magic damage when above 70% health.

ROTATION:

Apply 5 stacks of Fervor by landing normal Psionic Orb, or charged Psionic Orb attacks.

Place your Punishment Rune and Burst Rune on a target and let rip with charged Psionic Orb attacks.

Proritise trying to land critical hits to enhance the damage and ensure that you stand inside your Punishment Rune aoe and try to cast through the Burst Rune aoe for maximum damage output and mark application.

Ideally, this is when you can apply shields which will give you the most bang for your buck due to the high amount of magic damage %. This is also when our DPS output is at it's highest. Creation Level 5 procs off generating constructs which is always something to keep in mind.

Inevitably, your Magic Damage% will always vary in a fight but you should really try to get as much mileage out of it when you can as it really does drive the engine of the build.

Self-Preservation grants us a shield when we "breakaway". This is driven by our attack number and further compounds the synergy created with this setup.
