Intro & build description
This build specializes in clearing maps quickly. Gameplay, as with all cast on crit builds, is very satisfying and engaging due to the fast-paced playstyle. I would not recommend starting this build in a new league as a first character if you are a new player, but with some adjustments to the tree, it definitely can be done.
Build Pros
- Fun
- Fast-paced gameplay
- High damage/clear speed
Build Cons
- Wound not suggest as a league starter for new players
