BUILD AND PARAGON BOARD VIEW
BUILD EXPLANATION
This build is fairly straightforward to run.
Tibault’s Will and Condemnation are probably the most useful Unique Items because this build uses the Combo Points specialty. The rest are optional, but the more the better.
It moves pretty quickly and spamming the Puncture Skill will rapidly build resource.
The key to the build is the Trickshot Aspect, which splits Penetrating Shot into multiple directions simultaneously and is good for taking out mobs.
Which is not to be confused with the Rapid Fire Skill, which sends out multiple shots simultaneously, more or less in a straight line, and is good for taking out Elites and Bosses.
GAMEPLAY LOOP
Start by spamming Puncture to build resource.
Cast Penetrating Shot as often as it is up to take out groups of enemies. However, don’t waste it if there are too few enemies nearby, in which case you’ll want to attack with Puncture or just move forward.
I tend to save the Dash Skill for evading Elites and Bosses rather than to dash into mobs or to try to damage enemies.
Use Rapid Fire to take out Elites and Bosses, or when Penetrating Shot is on cooldown.
Alternate the Cold Imbuement Skill with Shadow Imbuement Skill, although I tend to save Shadow Imbuement for tougher mobs.
The Shadow Imbuement Skill combined with the Penetrating Shot Skill and the Trickshot Legendary Aspect is a pretty poweful combination.
