Important Notes

  • Prioritize Critical Strike Chance early since it will increase DPS, synergize with Critical Strike Damage, and allow for Wolves to activate the Attack Speed bonus more consistently.
  • Don't go over 100% Critical Strike Chance.
  • Be sure to stack enough Resistances, Armor, Maximum Life, and misc Damage early. Flat damage such as Tempers are particularly strong early before many sources are added.

Important Notes

  • Storm Strike can be used for additional DPS and this gives Ferocity which frees up a Spirit Boon.
  • Claw can be used for increased mobility.
  • Debilitating Roar can be used for increased safety.

Skill Rotations

  1. Activate Cataclysm and maintain it as much as possible.
  2. Blow Spirit with Lightning Storm.
  3. Use Wind Shear to gain Movement Speed, Barrier, and Spirit.
  4. Spam Lightning Storm to kill everything.
  5. Poison Creeper's active can be used early for additional damage, but it falls off as you progress.
  • Poison Creeper is used for passive Fortify.
  • Cyclone Armor is used for passive survivability.
  • Wolves are used for passive Attack Speed.
  • Earthen Bulwark is used automatically with Que Rune. You can use it on the Skill Bar manually until you get the Rune instead of Wolves.

Important Notes

  • I created a Priority Order if you click the Leveling Path toggle. Any time you can't put in the next upgrade, you can fill points into the skills that you currently have access to.

Paragon Board

Important Notes

  • For complete Paragon Boards, pick an End-Game build from the list at the top of the page.
  • Prioritize getting all Legendary Nodes before all else. Example: Thunderstruck
  • Prioritize all Glyphs to level 25 before going higher unless you cannot equip the next Glyph yet.
  • Prioritize all Glyphs to level 50 before going higher on any.

Glyph Leveling Order

  1. Spirit
  2. Earth and Sky
  3. Fulminate
  4. Keeper
  5. Dominate

Mercenaries

Frequently Asked Questions

This build utilizes early Storm power and a bunch of utility to make leveling safe and easy.

  • This build entirely consists of Legendary Aspects which are easier to find in the early game than uniques. That means that if you get any of the useful unique items, then you can drop them in and be even stronger!
  • Wind Shear gives some early damage, but is great for Utility such as Movement Speed and Barrier while also giving us Spirit.
  • Lightning Storm gives a bunch of damage and uses our Spirit.
  • Cataclysm gives long bursts of extra damage to deal with hard content.
  • Everything else is utility or survivability.
