Warlock
Facetanking with DoT Lowlife Warlock
Build Guide by Arqwart.
Pros and Cons
- High potential eHP for all damage types
- Obscenely tanky while channeling Ghostflame
- Easy to build and level
- Easy to target farm the needed uniques, and none of the uniques need each other to function appropriately
- Multiple forms of defense double as offense
- Great cycle starter despite unique item dependence
- Unique item dependence puts a strain on rare item Suffixes to obtain resistances
- Defenses are heavily dependent on Ghostflame channeling
- Poor crit damage taken management without using Legendary Potential
- Stacks lots of ailments on itself to help scale damage so Ward generation is impacted constantly
Mage Class Builds
Runemaster

Primalist Class Builds
Beastmaster
Totemless Poison Nova Scorpion Beastmaster
Build Guide by CookBook.
Pros and Cons
- Fully capable of doing endgame content with easily farmable gear.
- Good group clear, Venom Nova has respectable AoE.
- Doesn’t -need- to be in melee combat to deal respectable damage.
- Doesn’t really care about any specific echo modifiers.
- Comfy survivability.
- Somewhat poor general movement speed through maps without legendaries. Your haste sources do not last very long and require you to hit something and you have no generic movement speed bonuses from skills.
- A little hampered by multiplayer and/or other summons. Eterra’s blessing will prioritise other allies over your Primal Scorpion sometimes so other players, their minions, or just random ice beetles and bees from shrines can get in the way and reduce your damage.
