The PvXwiki community finds this to be a good build. This build has received an overall rating in the range from 3.75 to < 4.75 and thus qualifies for the lower category of working builds: Good. This build has been designed for the following use: |
This beast master build deals large amounts of single target damage without sacrificing the pet's survivability or mobility; fits into any kind of team build but will benefit from cracked armor and additional support for the pet, such as Strength of Honor. It also provides an effect that is similar to Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support, as Strike as One can be used upon entering a fight, which makes your pet teleport to a mob, causing opposing melee NPCs to ball up with casters.
