↖ Gear and Stats

• Helm: Prioritize intelligence, cooldown reduction, and poison imbuement.
• Chest Piece: Look for the Noxious Ice aspect to enhance staggering.
• Fist of Fate (Gloves): This weapon is crucial for generating primary resource, immobilizing enemies, and causing daze, all of which contribute to staggering.
• Pants: Disobedience is recommended to stack more armor for survivability against regular hits.
• Weapon: Use a two-handed weapon with all stats, core skill, and damage to close enemies. Imbue it with the Poison Imbuement aspect for extra damage.
• Amulet: Seek an amulet with plus ranks to exploit, weapon mastery, energy cost reduction, and imbuement skill damage.

↖ Paragon Board

Allocate points according to your playstyle and desired DPS. Maximize your Paragon board's benefits by distributing points strategically.

 

↖ Staggering Mechanics

During the first phase, aim to stagger the boss quickly to bypass the mechanics entirely. This may require specific gear, such as the Fist of Fate gloves, to maximize your stagger potential. The second phase follows a similar concept, with easier staggering opportunities. However, you must still dodge ground-breaking mechanics.

 

Conclusion:

This high DPS build focuses on staggering the boss to overcome its challenging mechanics. By utilizing specific gear, skills, and the Poison Imbuement aspect, you can increase your damage output and survivability. Keep in mind that this build may rely on mechanics that could be subject to change in future updates. Feel free to adjust and experiment with the build to suit your playstyle.
