Gameplay recorded during Ignite Servers event (October 9th 2024 - November 27th 2024). The build is limited to the basic gear, items and settings provided by the ignite server : Lvl 3 gear sets, Ancient accessories at 70 quality, Lvl 3 & 4(at 1580) tripods, Lvl 7 & 8(at 1580) gems, Lvl 4 Stone w/ +21326 Vitality, Ancient bracelet w/ (+2750 Vitality)(+90 Main stat)(+90 Secondary stat)(Mid-tier Circulate)(Mid-tier Superiority). My gear and weapon quality were at least 50 on each piece.
For the solo raid buff, I chose either "Run" or "True Supporter".

My thoughts* - 8/10
Very good, very simple. The damage output is high, the rotation is simple, and the kit even includes a heal. Decent amount of weak point skills, and the counter is always available. A lot of the damage skills have good range and aoe, so it is very easy to land skills. This build uses full swift, so the class is very mobile and skills have short cooldowns.

The effect of the brand skill is enhanced with the "True Supporter" buff, so it is very important to land the brand skill as it increases damage output by a lot; bard's brand in this build can be easily interrupted due to a lack of cc immunity, so pay attention before casting it. Some skills require a long cast time, however they're not actually too long as the build uses full swiftness. Running with 4D2N gear set provides a lot of damage, but requires maintenance of the dominion buff; full nightmare is a valid option if maintaining the dominion buff is too difficult.

Generating meter is quite slow and requires opting for the defensive ult or having good uptime on the rotation; maintaining meter is very important as it triggers the engraving effect which contributes to a lot of damage. The kit may lack stagger, so overwhelm runes might be necessary in some raids.

*I had very little to no experience on most of these classes before this event, so the gameplay and my opinions are from the few hours I had with each class. Your mileage may vary.
