Due to the diminishing returns, if you are not yet 810 CP, spread CP out in the listed locations as evenly as possible to maximize your gains per point spent.

Champion point % round down, so keep that in mind. If you don’t reach the next threshold percent, that CP point is doing nothing for you.


PARSE TIME – BOW WARDEN BUILD

A couple of minor changes that will maximize your parse:

  1. Use Relequen instead of New Moon Acolyte (same traits/enchants)
  2. If you want to squeeze all damage out, spec all 64 Attribute Points into Stamina for parse
  3. Replace Resolving Vigor with Cutting Dive (we do not use it, we only slot it for the passives in the skill line)

Rotation stays the same! Everything stays the same!
