Ride The Lightning

Real men fight with their fists

Spells

Wisp + Rain + Electric = full clear + safety. Use liberally because spell cooldown goes quicker than you think. Wisp + Electric already near guarantees you safety, Acid just fully guarantees it. Best uses -> Landing for ammo + objectives + danger zones/hoards. Use sniper after spell combo to decrease cooldown, otherwise use bow to scale Machine Gun. Boing crucial for escaping hoards.

Spells

Speedster is capped at 90% Movement Speed. Sniper for cycling Cooldowns and cutting through high health enemies(Bulls, Lich, Horsemen, one shotting Snipers), reinforced by Speeder, Disgrace and Run and Gun. Bow for blowing up large clusters of smaller enemies, Ammo generation, and generating Gold off of these large packs to feed Trader purchases for high tier runs. Main Ability Combo = Shoot the Floor with your bow, throw Bubble into the fire patches on the floor, create a Fire Tornado. Drain for sustain, Boing for verticality and flying around the map with the dash and double jump. Realistically you can replace Bubble with Rescue or Ritual and have team heals, Tornado really isn't that crazy and your random team mates might be easier to keep alive than they are to revive in Nightmare.

Spells

Speedster's cap is at 90% Movement Speed, 90% MS=45% Damage/Fire Rate. This build puts a focus on starting your fights by popping Wisp, and immediately following it up by popping Thunderstrike, and waiting till Flame Wisp seeks out which ever target it can see with the highest total health pool, then landing on Wisps target to convert it to a Lightning Wisp to ramp up Kills Per Second. Sniper kills cycle your cooldowns at a rate of 1s per kill in addition to Battlemage's 1% reduction, letting you frequently pop this combo, while also serving as a Boss Damage tool. Your Bow excels at clearing tightly clustered packs of melee enemies, and allows you to both generate piles of Ammo and Gold for the Wandering Trader via Ammo Supply and Gold Tooth(x3).

Spells

Snipers giving you trouble? Do you feel the need to get to the objective first and have to wait 45 seconds for everyone else to show up? How about roleplaying scout from DRG and dying as far away from your teammates as physically possible, aggroing every Horseman and Lich in a 2 mile radius to your ally's location? This is my current favorite build! You hit the right breakpoint to be able to one shot bodyshot a Deadeye. Bow for chaff and wave clear, Long Ranger for everything else. You won't win any dps races against a Horseman, but Deadeyes and Lich's will fear you. Additional thoughts at bottom!

Spells

stack 92% of Cooldown Reduction to have a total of 66% Cooldown reduction (due to multiplicative stats) and Sniper with -1s Cooldown on kill to spam abilitys (Swap seems to have Invincibility Frames) Hero: Spell Cooldown -> Health -> Speed -> Jump Height Primary: Damage -> Fire Rate -> Reload Speed (use Reload mastery early) Secondary: 1 Lifesteal -> Bend Speed -> Damage -> Draw Speed
