Summary

Heroic Spirit of Courage
I was looking to make a Legend of Zelda inspired build, and this is a fairly decent approximation. I have tested this on various bosses and it performs fairly well.

Full Build Details

This build is designed to emulate Link from "The Legend of Zelda", with fairly reasonable accuracy. However, due to the limitations imposed by only having 8 quickslots, I personally opted to remove using the bow from the build. if you wish to use a bow with this build, I would recommend the Wolf Bow for it's Cripple status effect, as it will help keep enemies in place to more effectively use Nerve Bomb.

I did my best to blend fun and function with this build, and combat should be intuitive and enjoyable. Below there are additional gear choices to adapt the build to Lightning.

Faction Choice

This build can benefit from either Sorobor Academy or Holy Mission

Sorobor Academy provides Logistics Expert which gives 10% Cooldown Reduction, 5% movement speed, and a 5 pouch bonus.
Later on once you upgrade the Enchanting Building in The Three Brothers, you will acquire Infuse Mana.

The Holy Mission confers a number of useful bonuses to this build including: Infuse Light, Purified, Spiritual Communion/Sanctified Assistance/Divine Assistance, and then Elatt's Intervention after upgrading the Chapel Building in The Three Brothers.

The Cooldown Reduction from Sorobor will make gameplay feel smoother, but ultimately Holy Mission is likely the better choice due to the damage or mana + stamina cost bonuses, Infuse Light, and Radiant Wolf Sword should you do the Truth and Purpose quest right. This option will make your build more versatile should you need better access to a different damage type.
