Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Poison DoT Build
  • Incredible mobility
  • Excellent Farming Build
  • 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.

It is recommended to have the following aspects before starting:

  • Aspect of Infestation
  • Aspect of Pestilence

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.
