Warband-ready Destro Class Guide: Gear, Masteries, Renown Points, Talismans and Pots (by Entropy and Chaos)

[Paxsanarion]

I love this guide and use it for my many alts I really look forward to Zealot updates! I have not tried playing a Zealot yet but I will soon

The guide is up to date with the 18/04/25 patch.

New additions include complete revamps of the Zealot and dps Zealot sections, the addition of the dps Shaman section as a viable wb dps*, as well as minor changes for BG, Mara and heal Shaman. After testing we also concluded that shield DOK is in the vast majority of cases not warband-viable so we decided to remove that classification from their builds but leave them in for people who might want to attempt it (there are some cases where it can be viable).

Finally, the postponement of the healer Gameplay-Basics sections will continue until morale improves (soon™)

Feel free to take a look.

The guide is up to date with the 07/08/25 patch.

A huge amount of changes this time around, both to pre-BIS gearing and to some META builds.
In total, around 120 pages were added to the guide so a ton of things have changed across the board.

Here's the complete Changelog for everything new:




Please take a look if you will because a lot of stuff has changed.

Moreover, looking at the Navigation tab you will be able to spot all the builds which the new Darkpromise gear introduces to the mix. They will be marked with dark orange color. Besides those, the new Darkpromise weapons also play a huge role in Chalice DOK and healer Zealot builds.


We took great care to update all PvE Masteries and tips for the classes for which Darkpromise Gear makes it into their pre-BIS or even endagame builds. For those classes will find the most information in the Intro sections of the Darkpromise builds themselves (just click the set name in the Navigation tab). If you have any more questions or feedback regarding the PvE warnings/recommendations/tips then please let us know.
The Lost Vale will understandably be hard and frustrating to a lot of Pug players so feedback is more than welcome here.


As always, we hope you find our guide useful.
Till next time,
