There was a huge update today in GW. Lots of skill revamping and, in my opinion, some nice changes.
Ursan finally got the nerfbat hard. As an elite form with a 60 sec downtime, it pretty much made all of the 5-man Ursan builds useless. I guess people are going to have to do things the [...]

The Medusa is a blood magic [...]

I recently had a nice spear drop, so I revisited my N/P build ideas. Most of them focus on applying conditions. As such, I’ve toyed with Virulence and Discord for my elites, both of which work very well. This build, however, focuses on Degen.
N/P
Blood 11 + 1 + 3 (15)
Spear 12
Soul Reaping [...]
