First things first. This is not my build, I copied from DFans earlier this season. I give full credit to the author however I cannot locate so I am reposting without their permission however found the build to be excellent so mostly is for my future reference.

I found myself in a rut with the standard WoL build. These modifications\adjustments allowed a few more gr levels.

If the original author finds this post, I thankyou for your creation. I am not claiming to be the author.

Build Guide

As above, a repost of an alternate WoL build I found on DFans earlier this season. I found myself in a rut with the standard WoL build, not able to progress in Gr leveling. These modifications\adjustments allowed a few more gr levels.

Stack secondary resistances (i chose physical, change to whatever you see fit), reduced cost reduction and fire damage increase everywhere you can. Secondary syncs with Harmony passive.

If the original author finds this build, please feel free to link to your excellent post and guide.

Gems:

Topaz in helm (RCR)

Emerald in weapon

Emerald in pants & chest. Diamond can be swapped if you are finding yourself squishy

Playstyle isn't that different 'standard' WoL build, I found Dashing Strike - Radiance to be more aggressive as is fire based and higher range. Feel free to swap SoJ for Unity if you need more damage mitigation. I found the more aggressive you run the better.

For stats, I omitted most skills you can add on. My assumption is you can adjust to match your playstyle and preferences.

Cheers, thanks for reading.
