sokeenoppa.5384 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There is few different builds for it.For traits you want either go with water/arcane/tempest or water/earth/tempest.For utility skills arcane shield is great against mind crush, rebound works aswell. Other utilities are more up to you, but some good examples are aftershock, flash freeze, earth shield and mist form.Sanctuary runes are your best bet i think, but there is many different runes that will work. Gearwise go as tough as tank allows you to go and fill rest with magis pieces.Staff is your weapon choise with superior and major sigil or reneval.Tempest is aids to use as HK but it will work. I have done it more than few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, water is kinda must trait. Arcane is cool as it lowers the CD of arcane shield so it is ready for every mind crush, tho also the dodge heal from arcane is very powerful just like boons on attunment swap. So there is a small trade off with lower shield CD or heal on dodge.Staff water 1 is big heal that you can aim on your feet which makes staff kinda great. But i assume you could kite with d/f aswell.

Wisty.4135 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I like dagger WH tempest, hut it is way spookier than weaver for HK. Weaver has so many blocks and evades that it's just silly. But water arcane tempest/weaver is the way to go for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
