Overview
This Witchhunter Mercenary maps by teleporting. Every item and passive stacks a higher culling strike threshold. Once enemies are low enough they get a marker, and Lightning Warp onto a marked enemy kills it outright and blows up everything nearby. Clearing becomes a chain of teleports across the map, and the creator shows it on tier 15–16 maps with 200% delirium.
Bosses are handled differently because you cannot warp onto them. Frost Bomb applies exposure, Elemental Weakness goes on the ground, and Ward-bound minions (a Kalguuran skill that spends runic ward) are summoned to finish the job. A Powered Zealot spectre throwing sparks and Unearth-style clerics add minion damage. Blasphemy with a high-level Repulsion curse keeps enemies fragile and pushed back. The creator warns that Repulsion needs to be level 19–20, or it fails to land on monsters above level 78.
It is expensive and fiddly, but very tanky. The build runs a sceptre on both weapon sets, uses weapon-set-specific passives, and needs around 400+ runic ward on gear to power its Kalguuran skills.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Extremely fast, teleport-based clear on juiced maps
- Ward-bound minions and debuffs handle pinnacle bosses in seconds
- Very tanky thanks to armour, evasion, ES and the bear spirit
- Most skills are free to reserve because they sit in the sceptre
Cons
- Expensive: some gems cost around 200 divines each
- Gloves must carry the Crow-touched mod for a second anoint, and they are easy to buy wrong
- Needs runic ward on several slots for the Kalguuran skills
- Weapon-set passive and gem assignments are easy to misconfigure
Key Skills
