Hello!
Glad to share this build with you. After my (1.1.9.8) HC Beginner Primal Strike Druid + Leveling guide - suitable for first char i decided to level another char from scratch, no merits, mandates, potions of clarity or other leveling itens used.
This time i wanted a full caster char, the focus here is on survivability, since we are playing HC.
The char uses only MI’s, craftable and faction gear, so this is a viable option if you are starting your first HC char too.
