Weapon Expertise |

The Two-Handed Axe Expertise is the best offensive expertise, giving another damage multiplier to all hits to Vulnerable enemies. This build uses Witchcraft Powers to constantly apply Vulnerable.

Witchcraft | Effect Rank Up Bonus |
---|---|
![]() |
Eldritch Effects apply Vulnerable to enemies for X seconds.
Rank 10: Damage from Psyche and Growth & Decay Effects will also apply Vulnerable at half the duration. |
![]() |
Damage done by your Witchcraft Effects afflicts enemies with Hex of Shattering causing them to deal X reduced damage for 5 seconds.
Rank 8: When any Hex Effect is applied to Headrotten, all damage will be guaranteed Critical Strikes for 5 seconds. |
![]() |
Feed upon the life force of nearby enemies whenever you use a skill with a cooldown, increasing your primary stat by 3% per monster for X seconds.
Rank 9: Soul Harvest does not lose duration so long as enemies are nearby. |
![]() |
Conjure an aura of decay that deals 80% Poison damage to enemies every second.
Rank 10: Each time Aura of Siphoning deals damage, you are healed for 1% of Maximum Life. |
![]() |
The size of your Aura Effects are increased by X.
Rank 10: Increase the Critical Strike Damage by 50% against enemies inside your Aura Effects. |
![]() |
When an enemy is afflicted by both a Hex and an Aura Effect, a Piranhado is summoned pulling enemies towards it and dealing X Physical damage over 12 seconds. May occur once every 20 seconds.
Rank 5: Piranhado moves itself towards nearby enemies. |
This build uses Aura of Siphoning and Shaken Soul to constantly apply Vulnerable to all nearby enemies. Adding Hex of Shattering also allows the build to benefit from two powerful Witchcraft Powers: Piranhado for occasionally pulling enemies in, and Aura Specialization for the massive Critical Strike Damage bonus.
Soul Harvest is another essential power as it consistently increases your Strength every time you use a skill with a cooldown for a damage boost from the Executioner's Aspect. Pair this with Bold Chieftain's Aspect and the Strategic Ground Stomp to very reliably refresh skill cooldowns and stack more and more Strength.

Occult Gems are new Gems you can socket into Jewelry that provides Armor, Resistances, and a special bonus. The Hungering Void Occult Gem periodically pulls in enemies for better clear speed. While Moonlight Ward is the best Occult Gem in general as it brings very powerful and rare defensive stats. As for the final Occult Gem, you can get Dust Stone for more damage.

Igni is a rare Legendary Rune but it sure is the best rune to invoke Earthquakes with the Tec Rune. This allows Earthquakes to be invoked when casting any skill every 0.3 seconds.
Gar would be the other important rune which will be a constant source of 25% added Critical Strike Chance. Pair Gar with the Bac Rune to get the buff every 5 meters you travel.

Varyana is the best Main Mercenary to speed through content due to the bonus Movement Speed you get when getting stacks of Massacre. Get Hysteria and Bloodlust to further increase your Attack Speed.
Raheir is a powerful Mercenary to keep us alive during tense moments. Have him cast Bastion every time you use Ground Stomp.

The Force of Nature and Blood Rage Legendary Paragon Nodes are the biggest damage scaler for the build as each point in “Damage vs Close Enemies” and “Damage while Berserking” stats grant additional damage multipliers to all the damage you deal. To maximize the damage from these nodes, make sure to get at least a total of 500% Damage vs Close and 450% Damage while Berserking.
Slot in the Challenger Glyph to the Carnage Paragon Board to and get the surrounding Strength nodes as soon as you get the last Legendary Paragon Node. This allows us to get as much Strength as possible to benefit scale the damage bonus from the Executioner's Aspect.
