Frequently Asked Questions

This build utilizes various synergies around Judgement power from Judicator.

  • Judicator itself allows enemies to be marked with Basic Skills.
  • Judicator also allows Core Skills to "pop" the Judgement.
  • The Keystone Passive Judgement Day makes marked enemies mark un-marked enemies with Judgement when the Judgement explodes which allows for our crazy damage chains.
  • Aspect of the Golden Hour makes our Judgements detonate other Judgements.
  • Aspect of the Judicator increases our Judgement size which adds to the crazyness.
  • The rest of the kit just builds into damage, survivability, and mobility.

Changelog
