Among top players, the most settled part of the build is talent (Revive, 56.1%) and the least settled is pet (Grave Assault (M), only 5.1%), 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 Revive (56.1%) Sacred Light (7.8%) near-universal
Insignia Survival Insignia (34.4%) Empower Insignia (24.1%) clear favourite
Square Insignia Ancient Insight Insignia (30.0%) Winged Rebirth Insignia (24.6%) contested
Equipment Holy Conviction (23.5%) Specter's Instinct (15.3%) contested
Trait HP (52.3%) Accuracy (28.5%) near-universal
Pet Grave Assault (M) (5.1%) Fragmented Time (M) (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.
