Build Details

How It Works
Summary

Blood Surge stacks loads of Fortify and Maximum life to deal incredible burst damage, especially against lots of enemies.

This build relies on the massive damage multipliers from Aspect of Grasping Veins plus the Banished Lord's Talisman to deal an insane amount of damage. We make use of Bone Storm's incredible defensive power to survive, using Flickerstep to constantly reset its cooldown.

In-Depth Explanation

Bone Storm

Aspect Ultimate Shadow in combination with the Aspect of Shielding Storm and the Aspect of Disobedience. This combination of aspects will give us a substantial amount of tankiness and allow you to clear most content with ease. The Osseous Gale Aspect will cause your Bone Storm to consume nearby corpses to increase its duration. We then use Flickerstep to reduce its cooldown so we can get 100% uptime on Bone Storm.

Gameplay Loop
  1. Keep Decrepify up on enemies
  2. Use Bone Storm for massive shields and damage reduction
  3. Use Blood Surge to deal damage
  4. As soon as you get a corpse use Corpse Tendrils
  5. Use Bone Storm and Corpse Tendrils on cooldown. When you get in trouble use Blood Mist to reposition
