Play Style
S14: Teleport into density and spam Hex: Purge as your main damage — Hex: Bane debuffs resistance while Mirrored Blades provides synergy. Echoing Strike is a 1pt trigger for activating the Hex chain. The 125% FCR breakpoint makes the rotation smooth.
Respec Guide
Before
- -Ring of Fire 20, Apocalypse 20, Enhanced Entropy 17, etc.

Echoing Strike deals magic damage — works with any weapon. Pre-Enigma: use Blade Warp for mobility. Aim for 125% FCR breakpoint as gear improves.
