Premise: A Saboteur dual wielder, whose main sources of damage are fire, lightning, chaos, and physical. I came up with this build when I found two drops on my commando: Wyrmbone Handguardsand Ulzuin’s Pyroclasm.
Shoutouts: Crate Entertainment for making the game, Most for his insight on Blast Shield, Jajaja for his Saboteur build that I looked at mostly for devotion setup, and Raiyaz for his Advanced Mechanics Guide. I killed Cronley much faster with the Adept’s dagger than without it.
How strong is it?
He could survive OP Avatar for almost a minute. I fought Avatar in normal when I was level 45 and he was 71, and in Elite I was 62 and he was 96. 26 level difference in normal and 34 level difference in elite.
I. Beginning
Ideally, it’s better to start as Demolitionist and transition to Nightblade after level 30. I started as Nightblade and became Saboteur at level 15.

Herald’s Set (3 pieces that together give +1 to all skills) and either Conflagration Relic or Slaughter Relic (+1 to Demo and Nightblade respectively)

I use Grim Fate & Crystallum when fighting mobs because both weapons have procs that hit additional enemies. The Adept’s Dagger reduces enemy’s resistance, which is good for bosses and heroes.
3. Skills
Fire Dragon’s Claw (Shadow Strike): Gap Closer
Fire Dragon’s Roar (Wyrmbone Handguards skill): ](https://imgflip.com/gif/11jbts)[/IMG]
Fire Dragon’s Brilliant Flame (Legion Firestarter skill): ](https://imgflip.com/gif/11jc63)[/IMG]
Lightning Fire Dragon’s Roar (Ulzuin’s Pyroclasm Relic’s Skill): ](https://imgflip.com/gif/11jci9)[/IMG]
Dragon Force (Flame Touch + Temper): Boosts fire, lightning, and physical damage. Also gives more OA.
Vindictive Flame + Ulzuin’s Wrath: A retaliation skill with range. The more points in it the less cooldown it has and therefore more counter attacks. It also gives hp regen and total speed.
Pneumatic Burst: Gives hp regen and total speed as well but has a cooldown.
Blast Shield: They buffed this skill up. Acts like Maiven’s Sphere.
4. Stat Distribution: 40 Physique and 10 Spirit
5. Devotion
Primordial (Blue): 18
Sailor’s Guide, Eel, Hound, Obelisk of Menhir (armor stacking), Light of Empryion (various resistances and fire retaliation damage)
Order (Yellow): 8
Tortoise, Lion, Dryad (grants healing on attack)
Eldritch (Green): 4
Scholar’s Light (elemental damage)
Ascendant (Purple): 1
I plan to acquire Messenger of War for more armor stacking and retaliation damage.
I’ve tried the Green and Red route, which gave a lot of fire damage but little defense. For example, Blind Sage gives 100% more to both fire and lightning. However, the skill sucks and it costs too much.
