Full Build Details
This build is all about being simple and effective : no tedious buffing and debuffing, no dependance on consumables, to quote the greatest philosopher in our times : "It just works". You cast your two main buffs, shoot your pistol, get in to BONK, and get out. Since Greathammers are the slowest weapon class and we're using Tsar's, we have to rely on armor to allow us to take a hit, and Zagis' allows us to do just that. Why Tsar's you may ask ? So we can get some juicy hits from our abilities during combat, but that build will work with any good physical damage greathammer really.
One of the build's real strenght is that even though the damage is quite good, we also have enough options to nuke the impact of anything and everything for days : between Sweep Kick, Predator Leap, the Greathammer's special attacks, your ennemies just won't do much during fights. Juggernaut can be used to stun too, but is best used when ennemies are getting back up. With a good timing, you can immediately stun them the moment they're done getting back up, and aren't take risks by tanking too many hits.
The build is also quite flexible. Want to pick Counterstrike instead of Flash Onslaught ? Sure. You'd like to use Mercenary instead of Wild Hunter ? That'll work. The only "must have" for the build are : Master Of Motions from the Monk class to be able to take more damage when you'll inevitably take hits, Hermit for the amplified boons (more damage and defense) and Wind Imbue so we can swing the Greathammer at a half decent speed.
Oh and don't forget to pick up Brawns from the Specialist for more Physical damage !
In terms of weapons to no one's surprise we use the canon pistol with Shatter Bullet for an easy Pain and Confusion, and Tsar's Greathammer since it's the highest Physical damage Greathammer. But feel free to use another like Challenger's or even Masterpiece, it should do fine.
For armor : we use the full Zagis set except the boots. Zagis' Boots only give 2 % more
Physical damage and come with a ton of penalties, including 10 % more cooldown on our abilities. I recommend carrying around Master Merchant's Boots at the very least to run faster, ideally a Jewelbird Mask too ! Zagis' sets slows you down quite a bit.
You may have noticed we don't use Crescendo : that's because it sucks. Nothing to add, I wouldn't be able to make a more annoying weapon skill if I tried. Not worth the headache. Just a discount bin Speedster, nothing to see here.
