This build mainly revolves around using Wave of Light, with a few pieces of gear allowing you to frequently cast it and at a low Spirit Cost. The Explosive Light Rune allows the move to take out large waves of enemies with massive AoE damage.

Besides Wave of Light, the core Skills of this build are:

Passives

Equipment

Kyoshiro’s Blade, Rabid Strike, Incense Torch of the Grand Temple, Tzo Krin’s Gaze, Cindercoat, and Pinto’s Pride all greatly enhance Wave of Light. The Crudest Boots will enhance your Spirit generation. Lefebvre’s Soliloquy and Stone Gauntlets will improve damage reduction, while Squirt’s Necklace and Convention of Elements increase your overall damage.

Legacy of Dreams is an essential Legendary Gem to this build, as it will massively increase your offense and defense for having only legendary gear equipped.  Enforcer and Bane of the Trapped will generally be the other two best Legendary Gems, both of which will further increase your damage.
