Awesome guide as usual. Keep up the great work.

willix•2d ago

any explanation on why we put points in stomp? Not seeing how it is getting used.

SilentFlame•2d ago

Runes use Vortex and Stomp

Heya,

Sorry just getting round to this.

The Tzic Rune activates Concussive Stomp for us and uses all selected upgrades as as result :)

MarkM•2d ago

This seems to be the case for all the early skill tree points

MarkM•2d ago

The Skill tree point allocation is incorrect as additional nodes for Withering Fist are gated behind levels 5, 9, 14 and 30

I didn't allocate them in actual order as that takes ages to do and I had 15 guides to update whilst away at Blizzcon. I will try fix this when I get a moment since I arrived home a few hours before season launch!

Thanks for the heads up
