Skill Variants

Utility

• Summon Flesh Wurm - ranged teleport and stun break, useful for disengaging or chasing down targets.

• Corrosive Poison Cloud - creates a safe zone against ranged enemies, could help against some popular specs like Deadeyes or Soulbeasts and the Weakness shuts down power-based builds in melee too. Furthermore the healing reduction from Poison could help you wear down tanky Cele builds.

• Well of Darkness - both a defensive and offensive option due to the conditions it offers + the damage.

• Well of Power - sustain option in case you're struggling in condition matchups. Also adds an extra stunbreak.

• Spectral Grasp - ranged CC which stops enemies from escaping, and even helps with LF management.

Stats

• If you're playing with Blood Magic, swap the 6 Dragon armor pieces to Marauder to compensate for the lower crit chance.

Relics

• Relic of the Twin Generals - Might procs for trait synergy + a defensive Weakness proc. Best option if you don't want to deal with the current relic.

• Relic of Speed - significantly increases your mobility, which helps you chase down enemies or build distance when you need to play defensively. Only works with Soul Reaping, otherwise you won't have Swiftness.

• Relic of Fireworks - damage boost.

Consumables

Food

• - passive damage mitigation and Might procs for damage and sustain via trait synergy.

• - active damage mitigation, also retains some of the Might stacks.
  • - budget version.

Utility

• or , whichever is cheaper (note that the sharpening stone lasts twice as long).
