|
This build requires Consumables to operate properly. |
This build is made to do full runs of DoA in NM and in HM. You will need cons to work this build properly. You'll probably think this is a variant of Build:Team - DoA Caster Spike, but I don't see what's wrong with a variant.
- Note to party members using DwG: DwG is not the main source of damage in this build. Ancestor's Rage is the primary damage and DwG is only to be used when tank breaks aggro and foes attack your team. However it is good to keep up DwG at all times as it adds to your energy and health while in range of Empowerment. DwG also adds 20% armor penetration on spirit rift.

Counters[]

Ancestor's Rage Usage[]
All who have ancestor's rage equiped in their build must read this. As said in intro, 'DwG is not the main source of damage in this build. Ancestor's Rage is the primary damage and DwG is only to be used when tank breaks aggro and foes attack ur team. However it is good to keep up DwG at all times as it adds to ur energy and health while in range of Empowerment. DwG also adds a 20% armor penetration spirit rift.'
So ancestor's rage is not just casted on anyone, but on the tank once he has balled the mob. This will produce huge aoe damage hopefully killing a mob altogether. If it doesn't other damage skills will destroy the mob.
The skill ancestor's rage doesn't stack so this build fails. Unless you have some different usage for it, in which case you better mention it quick or your build will be trashed. Spirit rift's high damage is the only redeeming quality to your build.
