Build Overview

-----> Click the video link for a detailed breakdown and gameplay! ----->

This build deals insane damage to bosses with Primal Strikes and AoE clears using Lightning Spear! This build offers a fun playstyle that encourages switching between ranged and melee when it's beneficial, but has the fluidity of a 1 button build!

Strengths and Weaknesses

Very good single target DPS!
Insanely good AoE clear!
Plenty of survivability and options for more!
Cheap to get off the ground!

Must apply shock for the best single target DPS. Primal Strikes perpetually maintains shock on a target, so it's not difficult.

How it Plays

Cast Sniper's Mark to gain an initial Frenzy Charge if needed.
Use Lightning Spear at the nearest enemy target.
If an enemy has Proximal Tangibility modifier, if you're standing on-top of an Essence Rare spawner, or any time you feel it is safe or necessary; You can leap in with Thunderous Leap and instantly kill any Rares with Primal Strikes.
When you use Primal Strikes, make sure you have shocked ground under the enemy or apply Shock with Lightning Spear.
Bosses will melt easily from Primal Strikes, Use Primal Strikes twice, then Spear Stab or Lightning Spear between to reset the combo and repeat for mazimum DPS.
If you run into mana drain enemies you can use Spear Stab to handle the job.

How it Works

In this build you will get massive benefits from stacking Accuracy stacking.
The Amazon's Critical Strike Ascendancy node gives base Critical Hit Chance based on overcapped Accuracy.
Falcon Dive scales our Attack Speed from Accuracy.
The Amazon's Penetrate Ascendancy node allows Accuracy on the weapon to provide additional Physical Damage, meaning we can stack even more accuracy while maintaining high base damage.
Primal Strikes allows the build to excel at bossing, while Lightning Spear allows the build to excel at AoE clear.
