The Official API is experiencing issues; skill, trait and item data cannot be loaded at the moment.
Note: Please note that builds will default to plain icons, these may not be as accurate. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Maybe it never coalesced into something brilliant. Maybe it never made it off the ground floor. Maybe we based our better ideas off of it. Basic builds are anywhere from downright bad to just shy of being good enough to showcase. These builds share the widest ratings and can lead to wildly differing levels of success.

Focused on: Direct damage, Support.

Designed for:

Conquest

Overview

A balanced Dragonhunter build that excels in both team fights and 1v1 matchups. Lacks the burst potential of Marauder Meditrapper, but has much greater sustain and team support, along with decent condition pressure through the use of burns.
