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?

On this build Perma-Evade is not longer truely achievable but we do our best to bridge the gap with the mobility options we have available to us.

We now use Evolving Claws Rushing Claw which had the tech moved into it.

This allows us to to Perma Rushing Claw via Locking On to Enemies but it will now require 30 Ranks in Ravager to achieve as the +1 Minimum Ferocity was removed as an upgrade option on Ravager.

Do You Have A Loot Filter?

Yes, you can find the loot filter I'm currently using over at Diablo Filter.

Be sure to sign up and subscribe to me over there for updated filters on future builds.

Aim for a decent amount of Attack Speed through the following means:
