Basic Blademaster

This is a dual wielding build that deals a huge amount of pierce and bleeding damage.

This is my most recommended build for beginners since its play style is simple yet powerful.

The build's foundation in killing enemies is in its basic attacks with multiple passive bonuses.

Oleron (Blind Fury)

Note: For Oleron, you will be two points short on devotion points. Just learn the necessary prerequisites to get the Blind Fury.

Equipment Priorities

Your main priority here is items that increase pierce and bleeding damage.

It is also a good idea to equip items that give you a chance to auto cast Ring of Steel, such as Reaver.

Once you reach level 75, use Seal of Blades on your weapons. The bonus perfectly fits for this build.

How to Play

Use Shadow Strike to quickly engage enemies, then immediately cast Ring of Steel whenever it is available. The primary damage dealer of this build is its barrage of basic attacks. That's more than enough to finish enemies in no time.
