Warming Hearth gave this build 4 stars • April 2023
A very generic build for staff lovers. As mentioned in the guide, this is a build for farming events in groups and doesn't perform too well solo. It has a LOT of AoE damage so it's great for tagging, and it can be played as weaver or tempest depending on what you prefer.
