Hey all, I finally decided to post a build that I use for most of my past lives. I rarely stay at cap so my gear is a bit dated. I left it in just in case it helps someone get some ideas. This build is a little squishy, but I don't mind too much because I only solo r1-4 while leveling. Once you get gear at cap, it ends up being better. I do have 16 racial points spent in this build, but they are not necessary (shadar-kai is just a place holder...it works with every race).
I am happy to chat if anyone has questions or suggestions!

A little bit about why I love this build:
- It works with just about every past life. The thing that really pulls the weight in this build is the inquisitive tree paired with the Harper Agent tree. I am a firm believer in using sniper shot and sneak dice so at least 6 levels of ranger or dark hunter are what I try to get with every past life. I also tend to take at least 2 arti for rune arm use just to have the extra gear slot. The rest does not matter. Iconics are especially a blast with this build because it really comes alive when you get improved precise shot at 12 or 15.
- It's not boring! For my playstyle I have to be active. With inquisitive you have a few active buttons (not overwhelming) and the better skilled you are at lining up mobs and avoiding enemies the more fun it is.
- Gear is easy. This build does not require a ton of great gear. Really just having a Sharn 3 piece set and a few other items makes it pretty viable. Obviously the better the gear, the better the results, but if you are using it to blast through past lives, gear doesn't really matter much.
- It holds its own in raids and high reapers. The single target dps is great and can burst down a whole pack of mobs even in r10 groups with No Holds Barred.
