Attribute split 101

For Tanks

  • Start with 350 CON and adjust downward based on your comfort level. Don't go higher. If you’re dying, it’s likely due to protection issues, team composition, or a healer problem—not your fault. (It could be a skill issue, but in that case, focus on learning your foes’ attack animations and improving your stamina management.)

For Damage Dealers and Healers

  • On your very first run, try 100 CON if you don’t feel safe.

  • Right after your first completion, once you’ve seen the dungeon, swap to 50 CON.

  • Once you feel confident, play with no more than 16 CON. You’ll be surprised at how tanky you can be with the right protection perks and gems, and how much damage you’ll be dealing.

Melee or Range?

For Tanks

  • Melee

  • Range (Trial of Devourer)

For Damage Dealers

  • Melee

For Healers

  • Melee. Might sound confusing, but congratulations you just got promoted to Support who can not only Heal but provide valuable buffs, deadly debuffs and on top of it deal decent damage with voidblade

  • Range (in some scenarious when strategy requires)

Light, Medium or Heavy?

For Tanks

  • Heavy

  • Medium

  • Light

For Healers

  • Light

For Damage Dealers

  • Light

  • Medium (only for MELEE damage dealers in rare scenarious if you learning boss animations or dungeon mechanics in general)
