Build Guide

Hi everyone,

while there are so many people looking for a good Pest Doc build I tried this and to be honest, I am very happy with it, the pulls of the mobs gathers them in place so the marrow spear can stack his dmg way better than usually, still evenw ith the requiem plate i sometimes get stuck without essence, but the golem can do a lot in this, for the fights against champs(without much trash) or boss i keep the LotD.

Corpse Lance in equip, because of the poison dmg for nayrs and sometimes its more usefull to stay out of range and kick enemys with it. Thats why The johnstone is very important in this build.
Played it till T9, without good stats on my items, still looking for the recommended dmg and CHC on my set :-(

in team its way stronger, cause even if u run out of essence u can get it from ur mates kills

/update: with adequate gear now i run t13,

Changes:

golem with Blood rush, running in->rushing out, enemies in line

got endless walk

obsidian ring in cube, faster land of the dead -> less Essence problems

Have fun, leave comments and or suggestions

bye
