Build Guide

This is not a clear speed build! This is a tanky build that relies on timing and combining many abilities together to do significant damage.

At the beginning of every run I always cast land of the dead and spam devour (satiated) to get a huge health buff for 7-8 minutes.

This build doesn't use cooldown reduction, so save Land of the Dead only for bosses or if you are fighting more than one Elite pack at once!

For bosses you want to cast land of the dead, hold down devour and spam bone spirit till the boss is dead.
