#1 Wingrave Build & Guide | Wayfinder

Hello and welcome to the Tank Club

We've been playing a lot of Wayfinder recently and we've finally put together this fantastic

build and this is a Wingrave build that is aimed at group support as a hybrid of all three roles

the tank, the healer and damage dealer. You'll be able to solo content, although at a slightly slower pace than a full DPS build

However, this build will allow you to heal yourself and group members. You'll be able to stack up and crowd control enemies

Deal a good amount of damage and AEOE damage while also buffing survival and group DPS

Currently, there is no need for a full tank in Wayfinder because you cannot maintain 100% agro on an enemy

unless you're dealing the highest DPS. Healers are also scarce, so damage is king in Wayfinder

Keep this in mind when setting up your build. This is the closest thing you'll find to being an effective tank in the Wayfinder MMO

So first you're looking at Wingrave's stats. So for this build, your main focus will be on max health and weapon power

This will provide you with good survivability and allow you to deal significant damage

You want to aim for the following stats. So 3,000 plus health. 3,000 is the minimum amount of health that you want to have

A large health pool is the best survival tool for Wingrave. After 3,000 health, you can start to worry more about your physical and magical defense

But the first thing is to make sure you're hitting that 3K plus health. Next, you've got resilience

and you want to have kind of at least 2K resilience. This is the amount that your resilience bar has

and it's the one located above your health bar and it's the amount of damage you can receive

If you've got a really low resilience bar, you're going to become, your character become broken

and you'll be staggered, you'll be able to get knocked about, you'll be taking more damage. So you want to have a good amount of resilience

so you're able to take more damage before you reach those points

Next, we're looking at 5,000 or more weapon power so you can get this a bit higher. It really depends on kind of the other things

you're going to be using as part. you build, it's useful for increasing your damage output and this is for your light attacks and your

weapon ability that you're going to be using very, very often. And you're going to be also using

your alternative attack, which is also a weapon ability. So a large portion of your damage is coming

from weapon power. You've then got ability power and having about 2,000 is a good amount to have

This boosts the damage and healing output of your actual abilities. Now, if you wanted to go as a full

support and you're not really worried too much about damage, then you'll stack ability power

as high as possible and you will not worry as much about weapon power

For your break power, this is more for solo play. I've always got at least a thousand, but you can get it more

It really depends on, again, your accessories and things like that, but it's useful for those solo situations to break enemies faster

so that you can do more damage and so the enemies can't do damage back to you

As we mentioned already, you want to stack up your health and your resilience, which is way more important than physical and magical defense

But once you've got a good amount of health and a good amount of resilience, you can apply some resistances

Somewhere in the 3,000 region can be good, and that is the main thing

So if you want to be more tanky, put some effort into physical and magical resistance

after the health and resilience. Otherwise, just keep boosting out weapon power

to do more damage, because the faster enemies die, the less you've got to worry about being killed yourself

These stats can be achieved by maxing your character, maxing out your weapon

applying your affinities, and slotting good echoes. So engrave weapons. I personally really like the sword and ship

shield. Obviously, you are able to use any weapon. The two-hander works really good. There's a lot of

weapons that work well with Wingrave, but for this build, we are going to be using a sword and

shield. Now, at the moment, there's kind of, apart from the one that you start with, you've got

Radiant Dawn. This is the tank-focused sword and shield. It's useful for harder content

because it will improve your survival. It increases your block sustainability. So you're able to

block for prolonged periods of time. You can just stand there and block for a very, very long time

and take very little amounts of damage. So it can be really good for those scenarios

but otherwise you won't focus necessarily on that because the boss won't always be targeted onto you

If you're not doing enough DPS, then bosses are going to run off. So that's what leads us to grim harvest

This is a more DPS focus option So it very strong for dealing damage within the hybrid build It ideal for melee range combat It creates a massive amount of AOE damage and it really really good It

actually a set that not so many people seem to be using, but it's one that I've been using and it

works extremely well. The next one is tooth and claw, which is currently bugged. Not for everybody

but it is bugged for me, so I can't actually use it properly. But this is effective more against

spread out enemies and it does have the best damage stats. So it can be very useful, but otherwise, as I've mentioned already, Grim Harvest is my preferred option

And Future Released One, Legacy. It is the ultimate support weapon. Provide your full group with a shield and weapon power buff

So this is one to look out for in the future. It's going to be coming very soon. So Legacy, if you wanted to go down the tanky route, you wanted to offer more group support

and you're not going to be doing as much damage yourself, Legacy is going to be an absolutely fantastic choice for a more tank and group-focused build

So Grim Harvest is a really strong weapon. when trying to utilize damage within your build to become a strong hybrid tank

It is my personal favourite. As a melee character, Wingrave will often be in close range of enemies

and this weapon does aewee damage and it staggers enemies as well. The stats are not as damage-focused as tooth and claw

I'd argue that the bow and gayser ability is superior to the shredder toss from tooth and claw

and it also synergises incredibly well with one of the echoes that we're going to be using in a minute which we'll discuss

So Grim Harvest is a great option for this build, and that is the one that you should go with

Okay, so for Wingraves accessories, accessories come as part of a three-piece set

and you can opt either to use a three-piece set, or you can focus on individual stats gained from specific accessories

So you could focus on just getting multiple one accessories that give you max health, weapon power, those kinds of things

So anything that increases max health and weapon power is going to be incredibly useful for this build

and then that is your priority stats. Secondary stats that might be included on accessories include resilience

bright power, and physical or magical defense as well. So focus on the max health and weapon power

but anything that also includes the secondary base stats, those are good as well

One of my favourite sets to use, an actual 3P set would be the Beastmaster set

and for this you will get it from the Beastmaster boss. So the feather of war, the fang of the beast, and the master's horn

Now, the increases you're going to get here, you're going to get increased crit power, which is not great from the feather of war

but you are going to get weapon power and max health. Fang of the Beast is going to give you weapon power, max health and crit rating

Again, the crit rating isn't that great. And then you also get break power, weapon power and max health from the crafted master's horn

Now, when you use this set, it's going to give you an increase as well for using three pieces

to your weapon power and max health, which is extremely good. Another really good option is the Flora Corruption set, which you'll get from various different sources

There's more information about these on my website, and I'm also going to list a few different ones on my website for accessories you can use

So go and check that out. The link is in the description below. Next run to Wingraves Echoes

And you want to focus on getting the echoes initially. So just get the echoes to slot

And then eventually you're going to need to try and farm them in purple quality, along with upgrading them to the max by using any unwanted echoes that you're no longer using

So for full support, prioritize obviously ability power echoes. That is if you're going for the full support

support route, as I mentioned earlier, ability power is more useful for absolute maximum full support, but you will do very, very low DPS this way. If you are going for the DPS hybrid

you're going to want to stack up weapon power. So for attack echoes, one of the better ones to

use are the blood letter echoes. These are going to give you weapon power combined with

brake power, very, very strong. On your guard echoes, the Codex Initiate Echo, which stacks up

max health, get those slotted in, really, really good as well. On your balance echoes, you want to

use the hollow horror echo, which gives attack power and resilience. For cross echoes, bone stomper

echo for the max health and attack power. As you can see, we're really focusing in on the health

the resilience and the attack power, and these are super strong when you've got all these

slotted and levelled up. For your rush echo, you've got a few different options, but for this

build Mara Echo and the first Echo as well are very very good So I personally love Maras for expeditions When you dodge you leave a trap on the floor and it pulls the enemies in and then explodes

doing damage equal to 250% of your ability power. So this does more damage when you go for that full support

and you do the AP stacking, but it will still be great as it does allow you to combo it with Grim Harvest

So you can roll dodge, all the enemies get sucked in. It does damage, Grim Harvest, you prock that

will damage AOE as well, that will prock the stagger. So you're doing a lot of crowd control

by combining these two things together, and it just works really, really nice, and the AOE damage

is good as well. On boss hunts, it might not be as effective. So you could switch it to something

like the tricks that echo, which procks when you dodge roll, and that will help to keep agro

of enemies off your team, because the tricks that echo can torn four enemies. It also applies

up to four potential debuffs. So that can be a good option as well if you're not really

finding Mara is useful in those boss hunt scenarios, but there is quite a long cool down on these echoes

The other rush echo that you should use is the fast, which will buff your team when you do a double jump

It does have a long cooldown again, but if you try to time it with other buffs

when you use your grim harvest weapon ability and you give that damage boost to your group

you do a double jump that also prox the fast, and you've got all these other things going

maybe the enemy is also staggered, so then they are vulnerable, and your group are able to do a lot of damage

it can be a really good DPS boost for your group. For more DPS, if you wanted to focus that for yourself

you can use the Commander Creed Echo for a weapon power build, or the Argent Hand for an AP build

On to Affinities, so it's really simple. You can only level up one affinity

so fully level up the purple focus affinity for increased damage and for reduced incoming damage

It's the most valuable tank-related perk, which also increases your damage. So you can only focus one of these out

You then want to distribute 5 points, into instinct and five points into discipline because there's no point putting 14 points into one of these you cannot unlock an additional park you'll just be stacking points for nothing so the best way to do it is to put the five points into each because that will then unlock increased healing it will unlock increased guard break meter restoration so this way you get four perks unlocked instead of three with the additional four points you can put them wherever you like they don't it doesn't really matter that much it's a very minimal game if we're being honest but i decided to put mine into instinct you could put them into discipline and you could put them into discipline and you could put them into discipline and you don't it doesn't really matter that much it's a very minimal game if we're being honest but i decided to put mine into instinct you could put them into discipline you could put them into discipline and

or you could split them 50-50. Next, we're looking at Wingraves' abilities. So you are limited to the abilities you are given

but you can make seven upgrades to those abilities. Focus on upgrading Righteous Strike to Level 3 first

due to the fact it would be getting used around every 2 to 3 seconds

So the increased damage reduction, damage, healing and resilience gain is absolutely perfect

Follow this by leveling up Radiant Pulse to Level 3 as well to protect your group and do additional healing and damage

You can choose to upgrade. judgment instead of Pulse if your group members don't stand behind your Radiant Shield and you don't need it for yourself

But just remember, you can cast pulse twice for every one judgment. So the effect of judgment is going to be much weaker than the effect of Radiant Pulse because Radiant Pulse is there much more often

Put the remaining point into Divine Agis, the character ultimate. This will increase its duration by 50%, which can be really helpful

If you use Level 3 Pulse, then the leftover point could also just go into judgment to make enemies rest

even additional break damage. So if you didn't want to put that one point into Divine Aegis

then put it into Judgment. The reason I also don't stack points into Divine Aegis

is because this is even slower at regenerating. You might only use this once per fight

So there isn't a lot of use in stacking three points and losing out on all the other perks and benefits

to get a stronger ultimate when you can only use that ultimate maybe once per fight

So that's how I kind of look at it. Don't forget as well that judgment is a tauntability

So it will draw agro as an area of an effect from nearby enemies. So it doesn't mention this on the actual skill itself, but it will

torn everything. The only problem is, is the torn isn't very strong. So it won't last for a very long

time, so enemies will not stay on you for very long. You will lose agro before the, like before

the torn skill comes back around before it refreshes and also there are many things that can steal torn away from you So Wingraves Masteries you want to go for Level 3 grounded counter It a good choice for the group benefits especially with the Radiant Dawn weapon

So if you decided to go with Radiant Dawn as your weapon, definitely go with grounded counter

If you wanted to just be able to palm a block, then you could stack Bullwark with Radiant Dawn

and you'll have a ridiculous amount of stamina sustained, so you'll be able to block pretty much an entire fight

Now, you should consider switching to Level 3 Bullwalk if you encounter sustain problems when you're using something

like Grim Harvest or Tooth and Claw, because that will allow you to have better block sustaining

It can be quite tricky when you're using those weapons. The amount of stamina damage that you receive is more than with the Radiant Dunn weapon

Just a quick look at things like artefacts and consumables. So you can use artefacts in the game currently

You've got the Grand Deceiver artifact, the first artefacts and the Storm Twins artifact

You definitely want to try and get the first artifact because this will increase ability power for you in your group

Very, very good. And it's a group buff. And you don't have to do anything. as long as you have the artefact

and put it into your house, this is a permanent buff you given to people that are stood near you

Obviously, things like increased gold drops from the Grand Deceiver artifact, and additional healing from flasks on the Storm Twins artifact

are very useful, but they're not as essential for kind of group content as the first one

Potions as well, you can slot two extra potions if you've progressed far enough in the main story quest

These potions can boost various stats, so craft potions that increase max health

resilience or weapon power, and make sure you use them when you're going through really hard fights

to give you those little bit of extra boosts. And finally, we're on to how to play this Wingrave build

So the basic rotation for Wingrave consists of left click, which is your light attack

You press E for your alt attack, and then you press 1 to activate your righteous strike

And repeat, that is it. Reeous Strike will always reset on cool down

after you do a light attack plus an alt attack. So when you do left click and E

righteous strike will always come back, meaning you can virtually spam that skill. You also want to use

Your two skill, Radiant Pulse and your three skill judgment on cooldown

and use your Q skill, your weapon ability, every third rotation, because that's how long it should take to come back

Every third rotation of light attack, alt attack, righteous strike, you should have your weapon ability back and you'll use that for the AOE damage, the stagger

and it will also give that group DPS buff. You want to keep an eye on your echoes in the bottom left corner of the screen

You can kind of see them there. You'll know when they're available because it shows the little icon and prock them when needed

With the echo set up we mentioned with Maras and the first, You need to dodge every 30 seconds to prop Maras

and you need to double jump every 45 seconds to prok the first echo. Although it is wise to try and time the prok of the first

with other damage buffs when a boss is vulnerable to maximise group DPS. It's also useful to use Maras for ad pulls

so try and use it straight away when you get into an ad pull to stack the enemies in. Obviously on a boss fight, you just use it on cool down

and that is the best way to do that. For boss fights, use your ultimate wisely

Save it for moments where group members need to be picked up, or when a big mechanic is happening

usually near the end of a battle. Sometimes there'll be like a big mechanic right near the end during the execute phase

It can cause people to die. It can cause a group to all die. You throw it down and you protect your group so you can just burn the boss and kill it

Also remember that judgment is an AOE taunt ability, but the taunt from this is not great

You'll initially gain agro of nearby enemies, but things such as Celo's

proto-clone ability instantly steals taunt from you. Judgment has a really long cool down, so you'll find it impossible to maintain agro of enemies

unless you're also outputting the most DPS in your group. And that is everything for this Wingrave build, The Sentinel
