Play Style

Pre-buff BO/Shout. Teleport to packs, start Frenzy-ing — each hit increases your speed. After 5-10 hits you're a blur. Use Berserk for Physical Immunes. Find Item on corpses. The ramp-up speed is addictive.

Mercenary

Act 2 Offensive (Might) for damage boost. Insight for mana, or Reaper's Toll for Decrepify on Physical Immunes.
