Paragon Board Stat Requirements

• Str: 530
• Int: 530

Use Swords and Crossbows, not Daggers/Bows.

Basic Skills

We use Puncture in this build.

Puncture is the faster Basic Skill and is therefore a great skill to combine with a build that focuses on always getting 3 Combo Points before each Rapid Fire.

Core Skills

We use Rapid Fire in this build.

Rapid Fire is an incredible single target skill that suffers from low AoE. We try to solve this by constantly casting Shadow Imbuement.

Agility Skills

In this build, we use Dash.

Dash is overall a very strong mobility ability that lets you dash across the length of your screen. We use Methodical Dash to reduce its cooldown.

Subterfuge Skills

We use Concealment in this build.

Concealment is a multi-purpose skill that gives us Stealth, Resistances , Movement Speed and lowers our Shadow Imbuement's coldown.

Imbuement Skills

As detailed in other parts of the guide, Shadow Imbuement is a pivotal part of our build.

Cold Imbuement provides more single target damage.

Ultimate Skills

We do not use an Ultimate Skill.

Armor

As of Season 2 it's much easier to reach the Armor cap so we no longer have to stack + Armor% on every slot.

You need roughly 7600 Armor to cap with a maxed Disobedience on your amulet and 9500 when the aspect is on an armor slot.

This means you need 2 Armor% affixes when you have Disobedience on an armor slot and 1 affix when it's on your amulet.

Resistances

As of Season 2 the Resistance cap is 70% and up to 85% with +15% Maximum Resistance. This is now a very strong stat for damage mitigation.

To cap your Resistances in this build you need 2x Resistance Affix and 2 of the same single Resistance on Rings. You will gem the rest with 2 Diamonds and one other Gem.

Example:

• Cold, Shadow Res on Boots
• Fire Res 2x on Rings
• 1x Lightning Res and 2x All Res on Gems

Precision

We stack up Precision by casting Marksman Skills, once we reach max stacks, our next shot is a guaranteed Critical Strike that deals [x](50% + 25% of our Critical Strike Damage stat).

This build, like all non-poison builds, can struggle with killing Bosses efficiently. A thing you can do to alleviate this if survivability is not a problem, is to do an amulet swap before engaging.

Amulet Swap:

• Inner Calm
• Exploit
• % Dexterity
• % Damage
• % Cooldown Reduction

Boots Swap:

• Mangler's Aspect
• All Stat
• Dex
• Energy Cost Reduction

Senechal Construct is the Season 3 mechanic.

They are a Mech Spider that can be buffed through the use of Tuning Stones to do a wide array of things.

In this case, we use the Lightning Bolt skill potentiated with Arcing, Multishot to hit as many targets as possible and Frigid to Chill and enable Frigid Finesse on the first shot.

We also use Flash of Adrenaline combined with Duration, Safeguard and Tactical to increase our damage and survivability.
