"No judge. No jury. Just the executioner"

The Slayer class focuses on raw power and maintaining sustainability as they fight. They possess bonuses to life leech and stun and passives such as Bane of Legends gives them an edge against tougher monsters. 

Based on the characteristics of Slayer , the build described below can quickly clean up enemies on the map. The most important thing is that you are immune to bleed and stun during fights. High life regen makes the speed of handling traps much faster.

 

Pros

  • - Endless Hunger from Slayer tree provide leech effect similar to Atziri's Acuity Gloves
  • - You will be able to clear Uber Lab by level 75
  • - You are immune to bleed and stun during fights
  • - You have 20% culling strike, effectively lowering boss health by 20%
  • - Very fast clearing speed due to high AOE radius
  • - High life regen making it easy to handle traps in Uber lab

 

Cons

  • - Leveling to level 55 could be a chore but from there onward it is a breeze
  • - Elemental reflect can still be an issue (use ruby flask when you run into elemental reflect and you should be fine)
  • - Can't do no life no mana leech map

 

Ascendary

Endless Hunger -> Brutal Fervour -> Headsman -> Bane of Legends

NOTE: You will use Culling Strike Gem with Warchief Totem before clearing Uber Lab.
