Guide

Build Explanation

Shatter the many. Annihilate the one.

With a bow in hand, rain devastation upon entire groups, turning clustered foes into a sea of shattered glass. When a worthy adversary stands alone, draw your dual wield weapons and unleash a merciless assault, concentrating your destructive power upon a single target.

Whether surrounded by hordes or locked in a duel with a mighty boss, the Shardbearer adapts to the fight, turning precision, explosive power, and shattered glass into a deadly art.

The build is designed to let the bow excel at devastating AoE attacks against groups of enemies, while dual wielding delivers powerful single-target damage against tougher foes and bosses. Both weapon setups retain their full potential, allowing you to switch between them without sacrificing any of the build’s strengths or buffs, while maintaing full healing capabilities.
