Gear
Core of this build are the Ember’s Calling set (target farmable in ultimate SR) and the Mythical Tome of Atonement (random drop). If you don’t have these items you basically can’t play this build. The rest is pretty flexible.
Feedback & Final Words
Out of the three new sets I feel like Ember’s Calling is probably the strongest and most flexible. With people making Aura Saboteurs, Aura Purifiers and even DW Dervishes or Canister Bomb Sabotuers this set provides a lot of replayability.
While it’s big weakness is certainly the missing physical resistance, the support to Vindictive Flame at least gives the build plenty of HP regen. Transmuted burn DEE certainly feels viable on this patch, I can’t say the same about the spam version of DEE… that seems to still be rather bad. Anyway hope you guys enjoy this build, have fun and happy farming!
