The most important attributes for these types of builds are power, precision ( critical chance) and ferocity ( critical damage). These builds often have a very high initial burst and their damage will spike occasionally throughout the fight when their main source of damage comes off cooldown. Power builds focus on using skills that have high strike damage or hit multiple times. Offensive builds come in two major varieties: As of August 2017, the builds with the highest DPS output were benchmarked to provide a sustained damage output of around 30,000 to 37,000 points per second under optimal conditions against an inert training golem. The quality of offensive builds are often ranked in terms of their damage output in points per second and other considerations such as the difficulty of performing the rotation, optimal use cases, and their flexibility. Offensive builds (or "DPS" builds, for "damage per second") focus on dealing damage.

Instead, this article presents a broad overview of build types and their role in specific game modes. Describing specific builds is beyond the scope of this article, as players' preferred builds change with every change to the game.
