Build Overview

This is my Pure Physical Whirling Assault Build that does Pure Physical Damage to Spin and Win, with this setup we self cast Whirling Assault to absolutely melt all content in the game, and best of all it is a One button Build making it extremely easy to play, optionally on bosses we can drop a Tempest Bell bell for a bit of extra DPS but that's it. This build does Millions of damage melting bosses and is great for speed farming as well. It has 75% Evasion Rating 70%+ Deflection and curse immunity along with 2k life and 2k es + Ghost Dance / Wind Dancer making it very tanky for endgame content. All in all this is a great build on a budget and at the high end.

Build Variants

**Very Important** The stats showing below on the Gloves are after Way of the Stonefist ascendancy which changes the stats of our gloves, The stats you want to aim for on gloves are first and foremost 'increased critical damage bonus' this will be turned into base critical strike chance' giving us a ton of damage overall so its most important. Then you want to get 'attack speed' which will become % chance for onslaught on hit, 'strength' which becomes % increased area of effect for attacks', all 3 of those are most important and they are all suffix's. At very least out of those 3 you need 'increased critical damage bonus'. as for the other 3 (prefix) mods try and get increased defenses doesn't matter which as the gloves will become es/energy shield either way thanks to the ascendancy and then go for 'accuracy' which will turn into '% chance to blind enemies on hit with attacks', for the last prefix you can try out whatever you would like.

As for the Runic Meridians ascendancy sockets, I have Craiceann's Rune of Recovery and Craiceann's Rune of Warding, in the Body Armours slots, and resistances in all of the other slots. **If you dont need the extra resistances in the Helmet, gloves and boots spots you can put whatever you want, I would suggest Greater Stone Rune but that's all up to you.

How it Plays

This build is actually extremely easy to play as it's a One-Button build, we just want to be casting our Whirling Assault to Kill everything with ease and Optionally we can cast Tempest Bell on bosses for an extra DPS boost, we do have Pounce purely for mobility if you chose to use it and that's it, very simple.

How it Works

We have Whirling Assault as our main damage skill, Tempest Bell for a DPS boost on bosses, Pounce purely for mobility and that's all we have to manage ourselves, Passively : we have Hollow Focus/ Hollow Resonance skills from our Martial Artist ascendancy for damage, Charge Regulation turning out power/endurance charges into damage/defense, Lingering Illusion to generate power charges, Herald of Ash for better screen wide clear, and Ghost Dance / Wind Dancer as a defensive layer.
