Gloom is indeed better. I'm not sure about the specifics but I suppose it'd look like Gloom -> Incin -> Crem or something.
The Reactive Interface is generally considered better for AV soloing. The DoT by itself adds more damage than the -regen from that other interface even on an AV, due to their resistance to regen debuffs.
Do you recommend Aid Self? Lack of self heal is one of the holes I'm worried about. I'm getting my miracle today, so I'm not sure if there will be a hole in recovery or not.
Aid Self will make a significant difference, but if you're going Incarnate I'd rather grab Rebirth +regen, which is the superior option in my opinion. Admittedly, you can have both, but Aid Self eats animation time and Rebirth +regen along with softcapped defenses and decent resists/HP/DDR is enough to do the trick against most AVs (it should certainly be enough for all the Maria Jenkins AVs).
What is good DDR? I have 52% all the time and 70% about half the time. In order to get this I have to use Grant Cover which is an extra toggle, so I'm not sure how that will affect my endurance.
So I wanted to solo Maria Jenkins arc and I know I could do it easier with other ATs/builds but I've never had a strong melee character.
I was hoping to get some advice on the best attack chain for FM and some ideas for my build. I am already softcapped to melee, range, and AoE and I'm working on accolades to increase my health/end.
I was considering the -regen proc in interferance and wondering if soul mastery would be better than pyre (gloom DoT +tohit debuff).
I'm a pretty veteran player, but new to soloing AVs.
Thanks!
