Best Phials, Weapon Augments, and Potions for Retribution
Phial of Tepid Versatility is our general phial of choice for almost
all situations.
Phial of Static Empowerment is a decent upgrade for the
encounters with little to no movement.
Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power is the best potion, with the cheaper
Elemental Potion of Power being the fallback option. If you
died, you can still use your shared combat potion cooldown and
the
Residual Neural Channeling Agent to deal additional damage.
To heal yourself during combat, use Refreshing Healing Potions and
Healthstones (they do not share cooldowns).
Best Food for Retribution
You should eat the Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak feast or the
Fated Fortune Cookie for an additional 75 Strength.
Best Weapon Runes for Retribution
As your temporary weapon rune of choice, you should use the
Buzzing Rune for additional Critical Strike.
Augment Runes for Retribution
You should use Draconic Augment Rune during progression content for
87 additional Strength.
