No Trial Gear

The No-Trial Gear setup is meant for easier Solo but also easier Group PVE Gameplay. You can wear this setup if you are planning to play Overland content(Public Dungeons, World Bosses) or clear normal Dungeons. This setup is not strong enough to survive Solo Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena, Vateshran Hollows and Infinite Archive. For this purpose you should use a dedicated Solo PVE Sorcerer Build. For a strong No Trial Gear Setup you can replace Relequen with Order’s Wrath and wear a full monster Set like Kjalnar’s Nightmare or Maw of the Infernal.
