Is this decent a Wyvern Ignition Impact build to work for?

[Beeryel]

Here's the build: (I found it on HoneyHunterWorld, so credit to Author RazzySxPB)

-Wyveren Ignition Impact, Augments: affinity and health, Jewels: Attack and Expert
-Nergigante Helm A, Jewels: Attack
-Drachen Mail A, Jewels: Critical
-Drachen Vembraces, Jewels: 2x Tenderizer
-Drachen Coil A, Jewels: Tenderizer
-Drachen Greaves A, Jewels: Elementless
-Handicraft Charm 3

Hopefully someone has an answer, thank you for your time.

That build is the meta for most melee weapons now so yeah it's fine.

You don't need Handicraft on Wyvern Ignition with Drachen.

Yeah for the gas powered stick probably focus or something for charm slot.



Edit: To OP, Forgot that Jinjinx did a vid on the mathematically best GS setups. You might wanna check it out. For general use I can sacrifice a bit of crit for some vitality though.

I'd switch Handicraft charm for Focus, and sacrifice one critical for a 3rd focus point

I would if i had 3 attack jewels.

Handicraft is nice, but the set bonus from the drachen armor is going to cut down on sharpness loss, so at most, maybe a single point in handicraft is all you need if you don't think you're going to be hitting weak spots often enough to always crit.

I do something like this: https://i.imgur.com/QJ7qjwM.jpg

The 2 empty slots there you can basically put whatever you want and still have a good build. I personally do another attack jewel and a handicraft jewel, but you don't need more attack to have a good working build. In fact, you don't really even need two attack jewels if you don't have more than the one they give you. If you had a mighty jewel for a little bit of maximum might, that would work well in one of those slots.

Using Athena's Armor Set Search is also really helpful.

If you take the time to set up your jewels in there, it's a really nice tool for making builds based on the jewels you have on you.
