Overview

While it doesn't have nearly as much healing potential as a build that also uses the Panacea FanPanacea Fan.

Leaping Toad

For powerful sustained pressure in PvE, Leaping ToadLeaping Toad stands out, applying strong poison damage that, once upgraded, spreads to surrounding enemies and triggers multiple explosive hits for excellent AoE output. When it comes to controlling groups of mobs, Ghost BindGhost Bind is one of the most effective AoE CC tools available, letting you gather enemies together for yourself or your team. Talon StrikeTalon Strike also serves as a reliable form of crowd control, knocking targets down and setting them up for follow-up attacks like Soaring SpinSoaring Spin for quick burst damage.

Meanwhile, Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath provides consistent DoT on its own—especially effective against bosses. But it becomes even stronger when when chained into Drunken PoetDrunken Poet, causing the burn effect to detonate repeatedly with every hit you land during the combo while also giving you time to get some stamina back.
