In a nutshell, the best build in Verse Piece is just a collection of all the best-in-slot (BiS) pieces for every piece of gear, passives, and other bonuses.

Best Traits in Verse Piece & How to Get Them

The two best traits in Verse Piece for every build are Black Silence and Son of Rowan. Both give you massive stats boosts and damage multipliers. The difference is that you can get Black Silence from Trait Rerolls, but you can't get Son of Rowan.

Generally, Fallen Angel, Contractor and Dragonic are the best offensive races, while Shadow is the best for defense in PvP. You can get Race Rerolls from Mythic/Exotic chests and Fishing.

Best Abilities in Verse Piece & How to Get Them

There are a bunch of good DPS abilities in Verse Piece that you can use in your build, and the best one, Vizard Mask, is actually extremely easy to get.
