FEEDBACK / CLOSING

Fixing the resistances was harder compared to other builds and the resulting overcap are not so high.

Offense is good overall; 200% attack speed and good amount of RR. For Defense, Physical resistance is only 34% which is quite low but this character’s survivability is still fine.

Thank you for reading and I hope you find this build interesting! :grin:
