Combat Meditation is the first DPS increasing trait that you will get early on. It is good but not impressive. After using Echoing Reprimand, pay attention to the 3 orbs that spawn close to you, one every 3s, and try to collect them to get the maximum duration on the buff.

Better Together is a damage increase on an endurance conduit path that is worth going for in PvE content. For this trait to work, you should pay attention to grabbing the buff by moving close to another party or raid member, and to refresh this every minute. The power is nice to have and does not require sacrificing any other damage increase.

Newfound Resolve will sometimes make a shadowy appearance spawn near you that you will have to face. Doing so gives you a useful damage increase in the form of a primary stat buff.

Valiant Strikes is not a damage gain but something worth mentioning nevertheless. It has an interesting mechanic to support the group with automatic healing. It is worth keeping in mind in case you have a group running content where this comes in handy.

Pointed Courage is the main damage increase in this tree. It requires sacrificing a Potency conduit path but is worth doing so if you pick this soulbind.

Spear of the Archon can be a bit of a damage increase, especially when facing regular add waves or trash packs in dungeons. A simple frontloaded crit buff you shouldn't say no to.

Light the Path this adds a new crit stacking effect to Valiant Strikes which basically turns that one into a damage increase as well. Crits will stack up crit until the heal is triggered, which in turn grants another short crit buff. This cycle can restart every minute.

Bron's Call to Action is the initial unlock. This is a throughput increase; however, Bron does seem to be rather underwhelming in terms of damage. This deficit will be remedied by more powerful traits further down the tree.

Hammer of Genesis is an option that can increase your damage when you have a steady flow of new enemies. For Assassination Rogues the Haste from it can be very good in dungeons.

Soulglow Spectrometer provides a ramping damage increase against a target you damage. You can only have it ramp up on one target and once it has reached maximum stacks, it can start on another one. Make sure to damage priority targets first with this.

Effusive Anima Accelerator adds a split-damage explosion to Echoing Reprimand. Depending on how many targets were hit, the covenant ability's cooldown is reduced by 3s per target hit, up to 15s.
