Blight Blight Blight Unleash a concentrated blight that deals XX% damage and leaves behind a defiled area, dealing YY% damage over 6 seconds. (Skill) |
||||||||||
Because of Soul Rift's long cooldown, Sapping Crux is used as an alternative way to apply vulnerability.
Glacial Nimbus is used to inflict the Chill status on enemy targets. However, it can be replaced with Nebulous Extract if you want more survivability.
The Disintegrate spell is our primary Horadric catalyst, but you can choose any catalyst as the primary focus is on the elemental infusion it brings.

For Gems, it's best to slot in Emeralds in your weapon for increased critical strike damage, as your minions can also deal critical hits. We will fill the gem slots on our armour pieces with Topaz to increase our intelligence and resistance to all elements.

 Raheir |
Use Varyana as the Main Mercenary
While the build that Slaydra created doesn't require you to use a mercenary, we recommended that Varyana be selected for the Massacre perk skill, as this build will have limited mobility, with the exception of dodging. The Bloodthirst ability will be taken for increased attack speed, as any attack speed bonuses will directly affect minions.
Equip Raheir as a Reinforcement
Slaydra's build doesn't require a reinforcement, but we recommend taking Raheir because of his Bastion ability. This ability makes you unstoppable and redirects 90% of incoming damage to Raheir.
