Build Description

This build contains one or more skills that have been changed because of skill updates. This may cause an increase or decrease in the build's performance, so check the skill descriptions carefully. If this is your build, editing it will remove this message.

This build worked a little better before they changed Distortion to require 13 Illusion Magic to hit -1 energy cost per miss.

This is an extremely fragile build. It can solo up to 3-4 bulls at the start, but once you get enough of them hexed, you could handle a continuous stream of them. If you get more than 4 bulls, kite them back to the entrance where you first got the crystal and use the NPC to take damage for you until you can get enough hexes up to handle them.

  1. Get Illusion of Weakness up and wait for your health to regenerate back
  2. If you have 4 or more bulls, start with Enfeebling Blood (use it only if you need to because of the health sacrifice)
  3. Get Spirit of Failure, Price of Failure, and Parasitic Bond up on all of the bulls
  4. Sneak in Spiteful Spirit whenever you can
  5. Occasionally use Sympathetic Visage to keep them out of adrenaline

Distortion should be kept up at all times. Illusion of Weakness should provide you with a good safety net until Parasitic Bond starts kicking in to keep you healed for the few times you do take damage.

This build can also work against Losaru Warriors/Rangers and Vermin, but it's a lot more hit-and-miss. The bleeding from the warriors makes keeping up Parasitic Bond on all of the targets a lot more critical.
