Gear

Look for pieces that boost attack speed and damage output for Rapid Fire. Gloves can make it ricochet, and boots can give you an extra evade charge. Two pieces of gear that are especially important for Tankiness are pants that give damage reduction and a helmet that boosts armor by 20-30 each time you hit multiple enemies with your increased attack speed.

 

Skills

Use Heart Seeker as your primary left click to boost crit chance and attack speed, Rapid Fire as your core ability, Dash for mobility and crit damage, Dark Shroud for Tankiness, Shadow Imbue for AOE damage, and Shadow Step for extra mobility. Choose the Combo Points specialization, which stacks charges that make Rapid Fire do double damage when maxed out at level 25.

 

Optimal play

Start by building up your primary, both with three combo points and the bonus from your sword. Dash through your target, evading, imbuing, and shrouding to ensure you're buffed up. Finally, Rapid Fire, using your increased attack speed to fire your basic primary skill at least three times.

 

Remember that this build is easy to play, yet difficult to master, as there are many mechanics to optimize its output. Keep practicing and tweaking your gear and skills to find the best setup for your play style. With high AOE and single target damage, tankiness, mobility, and no cooldowns or downtime, this build can be nearly invincible and a blast to play in the Diablo 4 Beta.
