At level 100, do most of you have 5 or 6 glyphs? I have 5, but I see most end builds call for 6. I dont know if I reached for too many rare bonuses on boards or what I may have done wrong.
You can reach 6 glyphs but you have to give up some DR/health etc for it.
When trying out builds I just path to all the glyph sockets for and get the bonuses for them, starter board+5 others ensuring I get the best layout with using the least amount of points.
Then I go back and fill out each board based on what I want from each board.
Usually have 2-5 points left that can be placed inside glyph radius for extra power on specific glyphs.
Once my damage is substantial enough. I’ll start pulling points from various spots to make my way to some of the DR nodes instead.
I run 6.
The way I read the board (and I think what most other guide writers concluded) is that maxed out glyph is more useful than some magic nodes, e.g. if magic node gives 5% but glpyh gives more than 5% for the stat node…then skip the magic node. Then this stretches you all the way out to board 6 which you can’t get all the nodes for but is enough that when you add it all up the net damage output is like 30-60% better by stretching for glpyh 6 instead of the some of the various less good magic nodes along the way.
I don’t know if every build is actually better with 6 glyphs than board nodes. I’m only taking 6 because I’m too stupid or lazy to map out every combination.

How many boards do you think the devs intended for us to use?
Best way is to try 5 glyph board and 6 glyph board. Sometimes it looks good in paper but until you try it, it’s hard to say. But I think in general a 6 glyph seems the goal because the bonuses are often good
6 is most optimal since you can utilize the best glyphs and get the best nodes for the 6 boards you pick.
