Crowd Control

Still a solid build for open world roaming that provides solid damage and utility. Personally I find Phantasmal Force a little underwhelming due to the the cool down on Phantasms in longer solo fights with lots of mobs or soloing champions and took Master of Fragmentation for the improved shatters instead. The cripple for Cry of Frustration along with the nerf to Blinding Dissipation provides some more damage to Defiance Bars on that particular shatter. Reflection on Distortion provide damage and defense against enemies that use a lot of projectiles, and hitting multiple targets with Diversion provides some AoE CC when needed. For extra sustain switch to Runes of Tormenting to provide steady hhealing through application of Torment with the axe skills and shatters.
