Tips from an engineer who uses the choya pinata tonic and executioner's axe all the time: the pinata tonic can be improved by both quickness and superspeed, but only movement speed buffs affect the axe. They go about the same distance with these buffs up so if you have one and not the other it's no big deal. The only reason you might use both at once is if you need to use one within a second of the other, as there's a really short cooldown on the axe movement skill (which you gotta hold, btw, not just press once, and then weapon swap at the end to cancel the animation). Final tip: if there is another choya pinata near you and you hit each other, one of you will get knocked down. Rare, but beware!

Thanks! I've gotten knocked down more than I care to admit in fractals 😅

Great guide. For builds that didn't have a good access to quickness I used the endless shiny chest tonic to trigger the jade protocols which I think I got from a world boss rush, the only issue i ran into there's a small number of builds that it would give me a debuff when triggering the tonic.

[@phandrel]

Ooh, I haven't used that one yet. I got some testing to do!

Would love to see a video on the Specter you mention, if it's viable for both open world and gathering.

[@phandrel]

It'd look a lot like the alac specter build with rit gear, and then you'd need to decide whether you want alac or more damage. The quickness would come from the chronomancer relic, so it'd be best to bring mostly wells (except maybe for the quickness utility). The major downside is that it's condi dps, so in legacy content, you kill slightly slower than a staff DD. For later expansions you'd feel this less, since most mobs became HP sponges, though.

@@phandrel Thanks!

As a player who always gathers volatile magic but is not fond of switching characters all the time - I thank thee! 🤩

[@phandrel]

I am the same :) I'd rather keep playing whatever character I'm playing instead of hopping around.

[@VladimirStanchev-h5h]

This was very informative and very useful! Thank you for sharing your builds for farming.

[@phandrel]

Glad they are helpful!

[@VladimirStanchev-h5h]

@@phandrel Not sure if you will see this, but I wanted to reach out and ask you something. I am currently farming ice shards in Bjora Marches and I am thinking of exchanging them for volatile magic and then buy Trophy Shipments. I need tier 5 and 6 materials so I can craft Condensed Might and Magic. I need those to craft my Legendary Armor Pieces (from raids). My question is: Is it cheaper to buy trophy shipments with gold and volatile magic and then craft Condensed Might and Magic or is it better to just buy the goods from the trading post? I am struggling to decide if I should just buy the materials from the TP. My last calculations show that I need about 2,300 gold to buy the required materials (not including my stock of some materials). Thank you for your time!

[@phandrel]

@@VladimirStanchev-h5h Trophy shipments cost less than the value they provide, so those should be your first go to. If you get an excess of T5 materials, you can even convert those to T6 in the mystic forge (currently only worth doing with Vials of Blood, Venom Sacs, Totems, and Scales). Usually I only buy what I need from the TP when I'm close to being done with all the other avenues, as you don't really get any "discounts" so to speak on there.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

Wonderful stuff as always, good sir :)

[@phandrel]

Thank you :)

[@desel8737]

could you make fractal builds for all classes and elites?

[@phandrel]

I'll add that one to my to-do list :)

[@KoriKitsune]

Just makie sword necro. Berserker works, Diviner makes it a bit funnier even. Charge batteries and get at least offensive protocolls (can also nab defensive too because the aegis helps to mount up still). Spam Gorge to deal damage to yourself and to traverse big distances. Taking damage will give you all the buffs like quickness etc. You basically have perma quickness, alacrity, and whatsoever.

[@KoriKitsune]

Oh never mind you mentioned that in this video at the end xD sorry!

[@phandrel]

All good! There was a lot to digest:D

[@aidonis98]

The answer to all of this, is the build you omited. Herald is the apex gathering build. Easiest quickness in the game, and with a power build can just auto attack all but elites to death in near seconds.

[@phandrel]

It is included, though :) Right in between Firebrand and the medium armor professions

[@aidonis98]

@@phandrel I must have zoned out, sorry!

[@phandrel]

@@aidonis98 you'd be so right if I forget to include it, though! If people want a relaxing gathering build, it's definitely one that has to be included.
