My Builds
This build was created to provide another way of nuking other than using Elementalists. It can be used in places such as Urgoz (with slight changes) and a lot of the new GWEN Dungeons. This build does a massive spike of damage to adjacent foes to the barrage targets and can be used in any place that does not have strong hex removal. It also eliminated the need for a tank by using 4 pets and 10 minions.
