Passive Skill Tree
In the early game, prioritize nodes that boost your attack damage to enhance your overall efficiency. Balance your attribute allocation between Dexterity (DEX) and Strength (STR) to meet gear and skill requirements.
Once you acquire Herald of Thunder, consider picking up the Coursing Energy node to amplify its effectiveness. Aim to reach the Crossbow nodes quickly, as they provide significant benefits for your build. Additionally, invest in nodes that grant extra damage against Unique and Rare enemies to speed up your clearing potential.
As you progress into the endgame, prioritize acquiring the Iron Reflexes node to convert your evasion into additional armor, enhancing your survivability. Complement this by investing in nodes that increase both evasion and armor, as endgame monsters can deal devastating damage.
