DG spec is only best solo and in wbs. Taking it into scs is pepe but a lot of whs do it.

For scs take EW or bal +crit and always take heal debuff.

Confession bullet on healers, either burn armor or the dmg on move, spam torments behind, use one of ur other debuff to cover HD, then ew/bal at higher stacks, spam abso with flowing accusations after. I hit a 2400 abso with 400 bullet and autos the other day on geared healers. 3k + dmg in 1 gcd

For solo don’t fight healers. Good rdps in open will embarrass u as well if they know how to kite the snare. DG from behind, torments, repel as they are getting up so they don’t parry and spam absos for dmg. Trial by pain if u need hp as it’s bugged and guarantees 2 bullet procs . WH is really strong into mdps/tanks but as I said u won’t beat good rdps in open space if they know what they are doing , luckily most don’t


I leveled my wh 16-80 solo roaming but I wouldn’t reccome d it. You are at a huge disadvantage as a fresh 40 compare to sov solo roamers. Take HD and assist on other dps in scs, join wbs and dg confession bullet on heal lines/ burn armor for other mdps. Skip invader with bloodlord set, invader is bad , triumph is good but very pricey . Sov is massive for u

3 sent+5 vanq is not possible
2 sent (helm/ring) + 5 vanq works well
bloodlord pistol+fortress/subjugator sword
2x genesis + 3x beastlord (cloak/ring/book)

I'll add a bit of flavour with a spec I always get back to, since i don't like regen DG very much. Basically you'll want 6 sov 3 triumph 2 genesis (or 6 sov 3 senti 2 genesis if you don't have triumph jewel yet) to be a stat monster. I like to see it as a solo duelist-old school setup.

Spec:
https://builder.returnofreckoning.com/c ... 93,8137&t=

Tactics: you switch according to target
- allround (tanks, other melees, SHs, multiple encounters): BF, flowing, blessed blades, fanatical cleansing. You got BAL and chain absos to put a lot of pressure on your target, sometimes it's useful to add a 2 point burn heretic as well if you're lucky with flowing; and ofc, you still have TbP and your defensive tools like RB and shroud. Also works with BF, flanking, blessed, fanatical, especially on soft targets who you might ambush and kill before the end of the first rotation, like squishy ranged SHs).

- casters: BF, vindication, blessed, fanatical (you pop out of stealth, do your opening rotation with stun/anytimer/bal, pop shroud of magnus, enjoy the disrupt bonus. Works with zealots and shams who will cast on you to try to run away). Bullets: ini debuff, sometimes heal debuff when you know the sham or zealot has good healing spec/equip

- heal doks (or sham or zealot that you know they will detaunt and try to outheal you = no disrupt to enjoy): BF, encourage confession (you switch to heal debuff bullets), blessed, fanatical.


With BF tactic + full str talis (bar one wounds if I'm not mistaken, I'm at work so I can't check ingame), fortress sword, bloodlord pistol, RvR event item, 4% melee crit tali, you can reach 1050 str (cap), 35% crit and around 8400-8500 hps. Add a blood liniment (or cottage calf pie, I amassed like 120+ when there was the event) and you can get 5% more crit to reach 40 crit and 9000+ hps. OR you can opt for the poor's man version with savage vigor lini to still add 5% crit plus a bit of tough; OR you can add wounds/mp lini; OR you can put less str talis, more wounds and use str/MP lini, or Str/wounds lini. This is up to you and your financials, but in almost any of those cases, your overall stats will be excellent.

Very flexible setup, very effective in 1 on 1s: you won't be a marvelous "I killed 3 pros in one inc", since you don't have heal bullets and DG to replenish your health, but 1 on 1 and 1 vs 2 you're a DPS beast with great defensive tools. Just use health and absorb pots to stabilize when target is good. Everybody nowadays run DG+regen, just give it a try and you might like the playstyle I do!

Main problem of this build is it's only good when you have 4 vanq piece so you need to be min RR57 ( as you need chest).
Dragon gun on a wb to have one full life heal before death .
