MeleeUberBudget

  • +Relatively budget-friendly for an Uber build
  • +Hex: Bane debuffs boost overall team damage

Cons

  • -Poor AoE — melee range with limited splash
  • -Requires respec from caster leveling build
  • -Squishy for a melee build — needs Life Tap from Dracul's
  • -Not competitive for general speed farming
