Build:Goblin Slayer

Full Build Details
The build is based on Goblin Slayer character where due to the weaker gear you're required to plan your attacks and use everything that you have at your disposal. Using alchemy for Varnishes and Potions is a must to boost your defenses and attacks. Using up to 3 traps (as a RP aspect) is very welcome to help deal with tougher enemies.

Shamanic Resonance is used only for the Breakthrough in order to boost all your abilities with buffs. The "hardcore" mode of this build is made without this breakthrough.

Build plays like the usual pure melee build, but considering that we're using low-end items it requires a lot of care while taking on the more difficult enemies that this game has to throw at you.

This build is NOT recommended to fresh players as it requires advanced knowledge of the game, especially enemy attack patterns.

As this is a complete RP build, these are the following things to keep in mind, some will be mentioned again:

1. Mana is not an option.

2. You are to use Alchemy and Cooking to its full potential.

3. Maximum amount of placed traps on the ground must not exceed three.

4. Using weapons from the fallen enemies (especially one-handers) is advised.

5. Learning all the weapon skills is welcome because you'll be changing weapons a lot during your adventuring.

6. Gladius Sword is not to be sold or replaced, it's always your main weapon!

Holy Mission is the best faction due to the lack of elemental and weather defenses on the gear.

If you have the Soroboreans DLC, use Aegis enchanting on all armors and Whiplash on Gladius Sword.

If you have TTB DLC and want to max the build, Brigand’s Backpack would be your backpack of choice. No passives except Elatt's Intervention are to be used.
