Notes on the team

 * This build is not fast killing, but goes way over degen cap meaning you can get an easy -10 degen on the whole opposing team (20 HP/sec, 80 dmg/sec to the whole party).
 * It also cripples the opposing team severly, countering enchantments, hex casting, movement speed increase, etc.
 * To keep EoE from bombing your team use dual PwK.
