✎ Abilities Preview
♦ As a Barbarian:
- Serafen is a naturally good at bumping crits constantly with big numbers as well as the durability to hold off enemies, large health pool and high armor rating. Especially when Bloodied (~50% HP), Serafen will hit much harder & even more durable than he already is because of skills/gear choices, the lower the HP is, the more angrier he will become. Thus it’s recommended to fight low with this build.
♦ As a Wild Mind Cipher:
- Serafen can strengthen his striking capability and durability even further while also capable of giving his enemies hard times using debuffs / crowd controls with brutal side-effects from his unique sub-class.
- Wild Mind side effects: Most of the times it will increase power level of casted abilities, resulting more duration on your self buffs or debuffs on enemies. Sometimes it also comes with a side-effect for debuffs such as stunning enemies on cast, or putting enemies on statsis mode where they will be temporarily “removed” from the fight for a duration. Or refill max focus on casts.
- Once in awhile, Serafen will have his mind blown, like his brain literally go bomb dealing heavy aoe damage on self and nearby enemies, which he can shake off with built-in durability of this build, can’t say the same for his enemies though.
