Trinket Mods:
Shock Attack
Haywire
Mutations ・Ambush
・Parry Master

For the Rogue, we highly recommend the full Weaver set for a dual-wield build. It allows you to capitalize on the triple bonus of the gear. Unfortunately, the set bonus isn't that great against most normal enemies since our ambush damage is so high that we can't stack up its Critical Momentum effect, but that just goes to show how high this build's total damage output is.

For the Trinkets, Volatile Capacitator is our only choice since it's a direct flat bonus damage, which adds to our sneak attack playstyle. Lastly, our Mutations use Ambush and Assassin, the sneak charge attack bonus, and both mutations also stack with each other for insane burst damage.

The build is focused on being able to take hits and dishing them back. You want to be on the frontlines and stunning enemies frequently, taking advantage of the special blocking and charge buffs the gear has.

Overall, the build is focused on single, precise, high-damaging shots from afar. You'll want to stack up damage, ambush, and utilize enemy weakpoints to take down foes before they can even react.

Best Mage Builds

Mage Sizzle Build

Trinkets
Astonishing AcidAstonishing Acid

Trinket Mods:
Finale Damage
Mutations Whittle Wizard
Parry Master

This is a DPS sizzle mage build. We utilize the Sizzle Robe and Boots to obtain two Mage Armor mods that lessen our stamina consumption for staff attacks. For our headpiece, we utilized Eyepatch to increase our damage at the cost of lessening our durability. You can change this with a Butterfly Circlet for a more defensive setup.

For our Trinkets, we chose the Astonishing Acid to increase our overall combo as the staff's combo deals more damage than its charged attacks. However, you'll still want to inflict sizzle at the start of the fight to trigger our Whittle Wizard's bonus damage from our mutation.

This build is a melee DPS machine, capable of dealing high raw damage and stun buildup to knock enemies out. At full power, your fists and armor work together to inflict heavy additional venom damage buildup.
