Intro & build description
Great starter build in any league, as it requires next to nothing for build to work. As you gradually progress through the acts and pick up weapon upgrades, build slowly comes to life. Look for high elemental damage two-hand swords and keep upgrading weapons every ~10 levels. Look for items with resistances and life and you should have no issues getting into endgame of upcoming Curse of The Allflame league.
Build Pros
