How do the two builds compare?

Shock

Taijutsu

Summary

Uses high damage Shock skills with long cooldowns, however this can change with Ark Grid

Faster uptime playstyle that builds gauge to dump damage on an identity skill

Pros

3 Viable ark grids with different playstyles
Simple straightforward playstyle
Pretty decent burst

Majority of damage comes from T and Z which do not require gems
Has the ability to run a party wide stagger buff skill

Cons

Slow pre ark grid
Builds are fairly rigid without room to experiment
Wants good gems for cooldown and damage

You have to play Taijutsu :/
Ark grid gameplay changes are not massive

Notes

If you hate white numbers, you can run Keen Sense 2, but it will almost always be a little bit worse than Limit Break.

If you have lower cooldown gems or want higher uptime for certain fights like Mordum G3, Optimized Training is also viable for Pre Grid and on Shock Burst
