Among top players, the most settled part of the build is trait (Dodge, 34.1%) and the least settled is pet (Restrain (M), only 4.2%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?

| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Sacred Light (31.4%) | Flame Guard (9.0%) | clear favourite |
| Insignia | Empower Insignia (22.9%) | Stealth Insignia (10.1%) | contested |
| Square Insignia | Tyranny Insignia (17.9%) | Mana Void Insignia (13.1%) | contested |
| Equipment | Holy Conviction (17.5%) | Healing Ritual (7.8%) | contested |
| Trait | Dodge (34.1%) | Accuracy (31.0%) | clear favourite |
| Pet | Restrain (M) (4.2%) | Restrain (3.8%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
