Critique a Character Build Before a Difficult Boss Encounter

Twenty attempts into a hard fight, the problem is sometimes the build, not your reflexes. This checks your damage source, your answer to the fight's biggest threat and any dead weight in your gear or skills, then suggests the smallest change likely to actually move the needle, rather than a full respec you do not have the materials for.

**Critique the build for this specific fight:**
1. Identify the build's main damage source and whether it is reliable against this encounter's mechanics
2. Check survivability: does the build have an answer to the fight's biggest threat, burst damage, a status effect, adds
3. Flag any wasted stat points, redundant gear, or skill choices that do not earn their slot for this fight
4. Suggest the smallest possible change that meaningfully improves the build's odds, not a full respec
