This Build turns your Poison DoT into an instant explosion, destroying waves of enemies quickly while swarming enemies for extra damage.

- Scourge – gives both a buff to your damage as well as a burst of healing.
- Armored Hide – gives you some extra defense, and is your main source of Resolve.
- Vortex – helps group enemies together.
- The Hunter – mainly used to give a large amount of buffs.
