This Destiny is for Spell Casters

A nice breakdown but I do have to disagree about the destiny being for spell casters. I am primary in primal with my ranger (with some Shiradi for Hunt's End) and it is working very well. (Yes, I know rangers have spells but I would hardly class them as spell casters.) Hit them with Carrion Swarm, turn on the shards and then blast away with Hunt's End and Manyshot.
