Intro & build description
Very fun and engaging build to play. You won’t get bored since the build is shattering the full screen of mobs while moving through the maps or any content you decide to do. Build can be started in a new league and it starts to shine once you acquire a couple of uniques and a decent critical strike chance along with crit multiplier.
Build Pros
- Very fast and entertaining gameplay
- High damage
- Can be played as a league starter
- Scales incredibly well with invested currency
Build Cons
- Can't do elemental reflect maps (as most casters)

I would suggest going for Two-Toned boots due to implicit since build uses lots of uniques and capping elemental resistances might get tricky.
