Gear
Core of this build are the Armor of the Eternal Night (target farmable in Tomb of the Heretic) and at least one Loxmere Dagger (target farmable via Loxmere). The rest is pretty flexible.
Feedback & Final Words
Build is unfortunately worse than its Reaper counterpart, which is not really that surprising since the set supports Reaper more than Spellbreaker. The build still does a very good job at being a very quick campaign and crafting mat farmer and is decent for SR and crucible, but by no means anything amazing. The Nerfs to the Shadow Strike parts of the Armor of the Eternal Night set might’ve been a little too harsh, but maybe I’m just bad at building around this set
Anyway hope you guys enjoy this build, have fun and happy farming!
