V. Basic Gameplay

just few words for the gameplay as a mediocre build (but a lot of fun!!! xD) u will always be the outsider :P so it has just 2 condi cleanse skills your heal and the no4 of the staff so u have to use them wise... in adition u got a good health pool and a good defense so u can take ur time but dont over do it :P
Use your minions!!! blind and immobilise the opponent also the golems rush is also good all above ofc when the minions works prpoperly....
a nice combo will be golems rush , blind with the shadow , enter ds kite 1-2 hits fear them kite with lb and again.
just remeber u got only 1 stun breaker the wurm so.. positioning is a must for this build !!
have fun!!
