Build Overview

Core Build Concept

Main Skills

  • Entangle
  • Thunderstorm
  • Thrashing Vines
  • Bonestorm

The build revolves around the interaction between Entangle and Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm overgrows your Entangle vines across enemy packs, allowing for extremely fast clear speed. Most of the build’s damage comes from Entangle itself, so scaling Entangle is the main priority.

Bonestorm is your primary single-target skill for elites and bosses.
Get a Chiming Staff for Sigil of Power as soon as possible by checking vendors and monster drops regularly. Many builds use it in Weapon Set 2 for a large damage boost against bosses.

Use Entangle to clear enemy packs, and use Unearth to generate a few extra minions when needed.
Single-target damage is quite weak early on before unlocking Frost Bomb and Frost Darts. It's used to help against elites and bosses during leveling until you unlock Bonestorm.
Make sure to pick up Cold Infusion from Frost Bomb to deal more damage with Frost Darts.
Once you unlock Bonestorm you can remove Frost Bomb and Frost Darts.

To be able to craft these spells make sure to take +5 Strenth on your Passive Tree at start.
