Strengths and Weaknesses

  • New Unique playstyle
  • Crazy Lightning DoT Stacking
  • Incredible Mobility
  • Starts off Resource Heavy
  • Not Top Pushing Build
  • Excels With Mythics

Build Variants

This variant is designed to get you started towards getting to T4 Content straight from Levelling.

This build requires No Uniques to get going which makes it an excellent starter build once you have enough Resource Management to get started.

You will also need to get to 20 Ranks of Ravager and have the Ferocity Minimum Ravager upgrade to ensure that you can achieve Perma-Evade using Evasive Swipe Rushing Claw. There is a video on how to achieve this Here.

If you have everything this requires be sure to check out the Endgame Variant for Next Steps.

Aldkin (Secondary)

How it Plays

The main focus here is to apply attacks as Fast as Possible doing Big Damage through the generated Spirit Storms.

The Shattered Vow unlocks a huge amount of damage here through the increased Damage Over Time Duration and enabling Berserking.

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

  • Cast Rushing Claw to move around
  • Cast Ravager for Vigor Generation and Additional Cooldown Rate
  • Cast Scourge for Vigor Generation and Vulnerable Application
  • Cast Touch of Death when available.
  • Cast The Protector for Barrier Generation, Pull In and Talisman Synergy.
  • Cast Stinger liberally around the other skills.

Repeat each step as necessary

How it Works

Build Overview

This Stinger Spiritborn focuses on optimising the Lightning Damage from the Spirit Storms whilst staying tanky enough to beat all End Game Content. It does this through the following:

  • Utilising All Four Spirit Halls, Gorilla, Jaguar, Eagle and Centipede via the Harmony of Ebewaka and Multitude Talisman Set.
  • Making use of the Thundergod's Blessing.
  • The Protector for Barrier Generation, Pull In and Talisman Synergy.
  • Making use of the Shattered Vow for Big Poison Damage
  • Auto-Procs of Vortex and Scourge
  • Maxing Attack Speed through Aspects, Equipment, Paragon and Ferocity.
  • Various Damage Multipliers.
  • Barrier for extreme defence.

Check out the In-Depth Explanations below for further details on the build.

FAQ

If you have any questions about this guide feel free to reach out to me whilst live on Twitch, YouTube, Kick or X or contact me offline via my Discord.

How Do You Get Perma-Evade?

Learn how to Perma Evade from this video Here.

To attain Perma-Evade you will need to have a Minimum of 4x Ferocity so that you reset your Rushing Claw charges via the Charge Refund Rushing Claw upgrade.

You should be able to attain this through investing enough ranks into Ravager from the following affixes on the Amulet, Boots and Charms:

    • Focus Skill Ranks
    • Ravager Ranks
    • Gorilla Skill Ranks
    • Eagle Skill Ranks (with Harmony of Ebewaka equipped)

Where is the Sapping Paragon Board?

The website is still currently getting all the data in place correctly for the expansion so the Sapping Board has not correctly been updated to the Prodigy's Tempo board yet.

Why Does My Minimum Ferocity Go Below 4x When I have 20 Ranks Of Ravager?

There is currently a bug where if you have Skill Ranks being applied to Ravager associated with your Secondary Spirit Hall via the Harmony of Ebewaka then it will not honour these and you will in fact go below the 20x Ravager Rank threshold.

To bypass this you can over compensate to some degree in the Skill Tree but it's probably just best to try get your Primary Spirit Hall related ranks if possible.

Why Don't We Use The Glynn's Anvil Aspect For Big Damage Reduction?

This is currently bugged and flat out doesn't work. I've reported it and hopefully it will get fixed in future.

Use any other Damage Reduction Source you can in it's place for now.

How Much Attack Speed Do I Need?

Aim for 100% Attack Speed on Equipment, Aspects, Paragon, and Mercenaries.

You can only attain Attack Speed in Attack Speed Bucket 2 via Cast Speed since the expansion so we are now limited to 100% Attack Speed unless using the Rezoka's Rage Talisman Set or Rake.
