Build Overview

Using Dread Claws as the main Ability to create a smooth and easy to play "One-button" build!
Other abilities such as Nether Step and Sigil of Chaos are used for Mobility and Buffs.

This build focuses on Shadowform Stacks for CRAZY buffs like Blasphemous Fragment and Mastermind Shard. Generator for those stacks are Terror Demon Metamorphosis and Nether Step OR if needed Sigil of Subversion with Infiltration Trails Sigil of Subversion.

  • Hex: Increases the Critical Strike Chance against affected characters by 15%, stacking up to 45%.
  • Demonform: Increases your Maximum Life by 25%. While active, kills increase the damage of Demonology Skills by 1% up to 100%.

Hex source to proc Blasphemous Fragment is Profane Sentinel.

IF we are in NEED of Shadowform Stacks due to Mastermind Shard replace Sigil of Chaos with Sigil of Subversion but the sources should be enough (Nether Step, Terror Demon Metamorphosis not to mention Aspects/Sets we are unaware of).

2. Dread Claws - main Damage dealer and spender

3. Nether Step - mobility, gap close and Shadowform Stack generator

4. Terror Demon Metamorphosis - crazy Damage boost and Shadowform Stack generator

5. Sigil of Smoke Sigil of Chaos - great Damage buff Volatility (50% damage buff)

6. Profane Sentinel - helps with Damage especially early on, procs Hex for Blasphemous Fragment huge damage multiplier
