Best being which combination can do the heaviest sustained DPS without being too brittle. I thought I was set with Devoted/SoulBlade but Blood Thirst seems awesome. And with so few ways of significantly reducing recovery, Barbarian seems like it might shine. Do melee characters benefit greatly from Power Level? (i.e. would a Nature Godlike do well?)

I'm leaning towards a Devoted/Soul Blade as well. With DW Style only giving a 15% recovery boost now, the other styles are all (relatively) better. Fighter does have two Full Attack abilities that would benefit from the 2nd weapon Going to wait and see what unique weapons are available and make a decision then. The singing sword seems like a cool one I think Biting Whip is better - having an extra 20% damage is huge. With the smaller focus pool you'd probably max it out pretty fast as is. All the extra focus abilities are good. Assuming they havent changed how it works, when you hit with Annihilation you do weapon damage, gain focus, then drain it all and do raw damage. So you always want to kick it off with less than full focus I'm not planning to use any cipher spells. you don't get a ton of abilities and all focus will probably go to annihilation
