Kin recommend

Our recommended everyday set: a bit of damage from Confidence and Wit, with Fortitude, Honour, and Fidelity keeping you solid. Active bonuses use the level you set above.

Top 5 defensive

Slot these for kinship nights, instances, and anything that hits back. Active bonuses use the level you set above.

• Honour bulk and tactical mitigation. Good on every class.
• Fidelity the tactical mitigation pillar when magic and fire hurt.
• Fortitude morale and resistance so spikes and CC hurt less.
• Justice in-combat morale regen for long pulls and boss phases.
• Tolerance rounds out tac mit with resist and a bit of phys mit.

Attach set

When landscape is easy or you are in a damage line, peel off one or two defensive slots and attach these. Confidence and Wit are the safest damage swaps. Determination and Zeal favour physical / Might builds.

Why this works by class

Guardian

Stay on the defensive five in tank lines. Honour, Fidelity, Fortitude, Justice, and Tolerance cover tac mit and morale where Guardians still get punished. For red DPS nights, attach Zeal and Confidence instead of Justice and Tolerance.

Warden

Same defensive core for gambit tanking and fellowship content. Attach Determination and Wit when you are in Assailment and need finesse through enemy avoidances.

Captain

Defensive five keeps you alive while you buff and tank. Attach Confidence and Zeal in damage or hybrid setups so crit and Might scale with your banners and shouts.

Champion

Landscape: Confidence, Wit, Determination, Zeal, plus Honour. Hard content: pull back to the defensive five so ferocity does not leave you brittle to tactical hits.

Brawler

Might-led physical fighter. Defensive five for group content. Attach Zeal, Confidence, and Determination when you are free to lean into burst.

Hunter

Ranged physical. Attach Confidence, Wit, and Determination for focus and crit. Keep Honour and Fidelity nearby for instances where tactical damage deletes light armour.

Burglar

Agility and crit matter. Determination, Confidence, and Wit are your attach package. Swap back to Fortitude and Tolerance when you are in a sticky melee scrape or fellowship tank support nights.

Beorning

Forms change what you feel. Defensive five for bear tanking and kin fights. Attach Determination and Zeal in yellow or damage forms when you want claw pressure without dropping all mitigation.

Mariner

Balance of melee pressure and utility. Start defensive with the kin set. Attach Confidence and Wit for DPS lines; keep Fidelity if you are eating a lot of tactical damage mid-fight.

Minstrel

Healers still die to tac spikes. Honour, Fidelity, Fortitude, Justice, Tolerance is the safe fellowship set. Attach Confidence and Wit only when you are in a damage ballad setup and the group is stable.

Rune-keeper

Tactical caster. Defensive five is excellent because enemies love fire and lightning back at you. Attach Confidence and Wit for DPS parses; do not drop Fidelity in hard group content.

Lore-master

Pets and tac damage. Same story as Rune-keeper: defensive five for kin nights, Confidence and Wit when you are free to push DPS. Fortitude helps when you get focused.
