EDIT - Blackwood Chapter Update:

Race, Mundus Stone, Food:
- preference of Mundus Stone shifts slightly towards the Thief.

Setups 1 and 2 are all still viable as before.

Expect a 2-3% DPS increase for each parse.

Blue CP Slottables:
- Fighting Finesse, Deadly Aim, Master-at-arms, Backstabber (Thaumaturge as first choice backup)

Build alterations which could be more performant:

DW/DW setup:
5x Kinra's / Advancing Yokeda (DW front)
2x Blackrose (DW back)
5x Relequen
1x Harpooner's Wading Kilt
1x Slimecraw


Bow/Bow setup:
5x Kinra's (Bow front)
vMA Bow
5x Relequen
1x Harpooner's Wading Kilt
1x Slimecraw

Sul-Xan’s Torment is looking to be an interesting new 5pc set for certain situations.
