The goal of this build:
- Bursts and Instakills for trash killing.
- Strong PRR, MRR, and self healing for survival
- Maximize boss DPS with debuffs + dots + bursts + aura + melee
This build isn't locked into a Pact, so pick what you want. I went with Fiend as it gives an extra insta-kill and Fire ties into burst and Empyrean Magic.
Weapon style also is open to choice. I went with TWF as a lot of the traits are proc-based and we're not relying on cleaves for AoEs. SWF would allow you to dump Dex while still attacking fast. THF I would not suggest, though would still be servicable.
