Welcome to my guide for the STORM BURST - DASHER



Introduction



After GGG confirmed



I like the idea of dashing around and casting lightning cannonballs that deal massive damage upon explosion.



Key characteristics:

NOT HC viable

HC viable New Skills -> will improve over time as we gain more knowledge

Hybrid MoM ~1000 mana regen

quite cheap gear as starter, can be improved alot

Uses all 3 Charges (Power, Endurance and Frenzy)

Cannot be frozen / chilled (Dream Fragments)

Mini - Headhunter (Inspired Learning)

almost permanent lesser shrine buff (Gull)

Dual - Curse (+1 Amulet)

High damage potential



This is a first main layout of the build, I will update it frequently and add more information to this guide as I progress through the atlas.

We will have to see how the skills "feel" and I will adjust the guide accordingly.

Leveling Guide:



What should I do with my currency?

First save up for the "cheap" but mandatory uniques Atziri's Foible and Dream Fragments

and Second save up for "expensive" items. Try to snatch a Cloak of Defiance and try to 5/6 socket/link. If you manage to 5L it go get another one and go for the 6L. This way you don't risk loosing your 5L.
