The main focus here is to apply attacks as Fast as Possible doing Big Damage in a huge Omni-Directional Pattern which we further boost this with Maximum Resource Scaling.

The Rod of Kepeleke allows us to Critical Strike on demand as long as we have full resource whilst allowing us to hit much harder.

The following steps are the recommended Build Rotation for skill usage:

• Cast Ravager
• Cast Armored Hide for Additional Block Chance and become Unstoppable
• Cast Scourge for Damage Reduction and apply Weakness and Vulnerable to Enemies
• Cast Vortex to Pull-In Enemies and Knock Them Down
• Cast The Hunter for Mobility and Ferocity Generation
• Cast Crushing Hand liberally around the other skills

Repeat each step as necessary

How much Resource Generation Do I need?

With the reduction of Resource Generation Sources across the board it has now become more difficult to enable you to activate the Rod of Kepeleke on Every Single Hit which is where our Big Damage comes from.

The Easiest way to achieve this is to use the Ring of the Midnight Sun which escaped the Resource Source Nerfs and can still Restore 50% Resource Spent in the Last 2 Seconds on a Critical Strike. The pairs excellently with the Rod of Kepeleke because this will spend 100% when at Maximum Resource to guarantee a Critical Strike.

This means that we need to achieve 100% Resource Generation on the build along with a Maximum Rolled Ring of the Midnight Sun at 50% to enable a 100% Activation Rate when attacking with the Rod of Kepeleke.

You can obtain the Resource Generation required from various sources including:

• • Intelligence
  • Resource Generation Affixes
  • Resource Generation Tempers

How Much Attack Speed Do I Need?

Aim for 100% Attack Speed from the following sources:

• • Ferocity
  • Equipment Affixes
  • Offensive Temper Affixes
  • Paragon Nodes
  • Varyana Primary Mercenary (if you're struggling)
