Build Overview

Hey guys, It's Lazy Exile, and this is the build guide to my League Starter that is using the Werewolf Form with tons of interesting skills and combo to blast the maps.

Checkout my Twitch for early progression on league start | https://www.twitch.tv/lazyexdee

The goal is to create a strong character that is capable of farming contents in the early game with good scaling into the endgame, and I think the Druid - Oracle Ascendancy will be exceptional!

There will be full step-by-step written guide through the Campaign on League Start, with a good setup for Early Game. I'll try to leave room for adjustment as I think it'll be uninspiring to plan out everything.

Disclaimer

This build is untested, and you should know what you're getting into when trying out a new skill so always be flexible for changes.

Please favorite & come back to this often as I'll be constantly updating it live on league start.

Ascendacy Choices

Oracle

Unknown (which is fun), potentially really good and broken if Traveller's Wisdom stay as is. Started on the Druid side so bias to be usable with cold and crit skills, and access to Amour/ES.

Gem Priority

+38

Follow the priority of both Skill Gems & Support Gems

The priority is configured accordingly to my plan. Just craft and socket them when you get a skill gems or support gem drop. We want to minimize gem swaps while ensuring effectiveness in the campaign.

Freezing Mark is a skill gem, craft it and put it in Pounce

Rotation

Single Target (MMO Rotation)

Before engage, Lunar Blessing
Open with: Thunderstorm > Pounce to apply Freezing Mark
Proc the mark with Cross Slash, for extra % cold damage
Spam Lunar Assault until 90% frozen, Arctic Howl > Savage Fury, then Shred (1 - 2 full Shred) > Cross Slash
Finish with Shred when target is no longer frozen

Single Target (Just Shred)

Thunderstorm > Lunar Blessing opener
Shred until 100% Savage Fury > Savage Fury
Shred > Lunar Blessing + Savage Fury

AoE Clear

Lunar Blessing (keep up buff) > Pounce > Lunar Assault > Shred > Cross Slash

Passive Tree

FAQs

1. How to do more damage on the build?

Ice Bite on Lunar Assault gives extra cold damage on freezing on enemy
Other damaging skills can use Cold Attunement to scales that extra cold damage even further
- Any sources of elemental added damage that is not cold will get reduced, so be aware if your weapon or other equipments give fire or lightning damage
This is a martial attack build, so ALWAYS upgrade your weapon to the highest base with added physical / cold damage. Do check the tooltip in game to see if you get more damage
