A powerful area damage Build that lets you literally run down enemies with your own swarm of bears!
Skills
This Build mainly revolves around the use of Zombie Charger. With the Zombie Bear Rune and the Helltooth Harness set, it will deal massive damage to any enemy in its path.
Aside from these, other core Skills of this build are:
- Wall of Death – gives a massive boost of damage to Zombie Charger, while also helping to keep enemies together.
- Soul Harvest – gives a burst of extra offense and defense.
- Summon Zombie Dogs – helps both Movement Speed and healing.
- Spirit Walk – grants a boost in Movement Speed, survivability, and damage.
- Locust Swarm – boosts your damage.
Passives
- Blood Ritual – keeps your Mana costs low.
- Confidence Ritual – gives a boost in damage.
- Swampland Attunement – boosts your survivability.
- Spirit Vessel – gives you a way to cheat death.
Equipment
The primary armor for this build will be the Helltooth Harness set. You will need five pieces of it for the full effect (if you Cube the Royal Ring of Grandeur). Ursua’s Trodden Effegy and the Ring of Emptiness will greatly enhance Zombie Charger, while Shukrani’s Triumph will boost your overall damage. Lakumba’s Ornament gives you a huge defense boost when using Spirit Walk. The Captain Crimson’s Trimmings set and the Endless Walk set will increase both offense and defense.
Bane of the Trapped, Gorok of Swiftness, and Bane of the Stricken are generally the best Legendary Gems. Bane of the Trapped and Bane of the Stricken will both increase your damage, while Gorok of Swiftness will increase your Attack Speed, Cooldown Reduction, and Dodge.
