This build utilizes various synergies related to buffing Basic skills to deal way more damage than normal!
- Greatstaff of the Crone is the primary catalyst of the build. It turns Claw into a storm skill, but is also allows Claw to simultaneously cast Storm Strike as well.
- We're stacking Maximum Resource to buff Adaptability, which is a large damage multiplier.
- The seasonal power Overabundance is a huge 3x multiplier as long as we generate Spirit, which we can do extremely well in this build.
- We're using Fists of Fate which provide a damage increase, but also give an insane amount of Lucky Hit Chance which will mean Ahu Rune, the Bad Omen passive, and the Calm Before the Storm Spirit Boon are activated constantly.
- Purge the Infected gives another multiplier, but also allows us to maintain Critical Hits without investing into the stat. However, we also get guarunteed Critical Hits from Ahu Rune, so Purge is filling the gaps and giving the extra 1.6x damage. But more importantly, Purge the Infected is spending our Spirit which maintains out Overpowers with Xan Rune.
- This build focuses a lot into Overpower damage, which means that Willpower is a higher priority than normal.
- A large part of optimization in Season 10 is finding the correct Chaos Items to use in your armor, which means we can move Crone out of the weapon slot.
- The rest of the kit increases damage and survivability in various ways as well.
Attack Speed Breakdown
Attack Speed has 2 categories and each Cap has a maximum of 100%. Ideally, you want to stack some of both bonuses without going over 100% and wasting the bonus.
Cap 1:
- Gear Affixes
- Attack Speed Elixer
- Paragon Nodes
- Swooping Attacks Spirit Boon(Only used if gear affixes don't cap this).
- Enhanced Claw
Cap 2: - Shard of Verathiel
- Werewolf Attack Speed Tempers
Mercenaries
Mercenaries are not the most important thing overall, but they can be valuable for solving holes in your build.
- Raheir is a good choice as Hired Mercenary for either Armor or Resistances as needed. Both options also give additional damage from their respective passives: Mocking Lure and Inspiration.
- Aldkin is a reliable Reinforcement choice with Field of Languish which reduces enemy damage.
- If you're looking for Attack Speed, you can use Varyana as your Reinforcement with Bloodthirst.
- Subo is a solid Hired Mercenary choice because his passive reveals all materials and enemies on the map! This would be a great choice if your Armor and Resistances are already capped.
