Overview
This is a tagging build for Herald designed for the Mad King's Labyrinth. A tagging build is designed to farm enemies in large groups dealing little damage to earn kill credit while allowing other players also to tag that enemy. This build emphasizes concentration, conditional damage, magic find, and survivability. This setup ensures a constant presence of Regeneration, Swiftness, Protection, and Quickness, prioritizing boons for the team along with enhanced survivability.
Notably, this build intentionally AVOIDS boosting Might, Fury, and all Power, Precision, and Ferocity. These attributes are kept at the minimum possible level for a level 80 character (1k, 1k, 0).
