Build to farm lab, what do you think.

[anduriell.6280]

I am kinda in the waiting room for the EoD so i tested the lab for bit to check the new bosses. I am running this build and open for good sugestions. Mainly with the runeset i am not convinced in divinity just yet. Elite i could use an improvement but i don't know which would offer good results.

One arrow from shortbow will be enough to tag an enemy so you want to use tab a lot. 

Rotate traps for cluster of mobs and cleansing steve's conditions, call of lighting in rotation for clusters and bosses .  Keep quickness by rotating F3 - SB#5 - Quickening Zephir. 

This works much better than Axe because it is faster, pierces and shortbow tags enemies with lower damage.

I find axe mainhand too slow with all the aftercast animation. Most of the times the projectile don't reach the target when the enemies have so little hp as in the labyrinth. 

Also you need to do around 2K damage with that weapon to tag.  No aoes is a problem on green doors too.

I almost never bother with Ranger for Lab farming, there are a lot better options out there.

Just playing around with something that can work for a bit of fun. It's similar to yours anduriell, but A/A instead of SB. It's also S/T. Every skill has CD reduction, the sword gives mobility. Quick Draw and Sigil of Frenzy gives you pretty mad CD reductions for your main skills - Whirling Defense and Bonfire which will recharge in 5s, once you use it the second time, you swap and use the other. That gives good coverage of area effects over time. Rune of Vampirism is god mode. Traited Traps and Entangle to round out the DoT skills. Jacaranda for the 8s CD Call Lightning and Iboga for if you need a CC swap.
