Commando

One of the more interesting builds I have designed, this setup focuses on dealing strong ranged damage while maintaining the survivability of a tank. This build was created for my father, who wanted a ranged playstyle with simple inputs, minimal skill management, and little required movement during combat. It is designed for players who prefer to stand their ground, deal consistent ranged damage, and comfortably withstand heavy hits. By utilizing two different item sets, the build delivers solid damage, though less than some higher output options, with a deliberate emphasis on survivability over raw damage.

Nearly the entire Demolitionist skill tree is a primary focus, and the selected skills are maximized to their full potential. Fire Strike and Flame Touched serve as the core sources of Fire damage. Flame Touched is always active, while Fire Strike is assigned to the left mouse button and used constantly. Break Morale functions as the right mouse button ability, allowing for immediate enemy health reduction. Field Command and Menhir’s Will are additional toggle skills that remain active at all times. Several passive abilities are also chosen to complement the build.

All resistances are easily capped with this setup, with additional flexibility available to shore up any weaker stats if needed. The build does rely on a few Rare items that may be difficult to acquire, but these can be replaced with suitable Legendary alternatives. Adjusting the amount of Wendigo Lifescent Powder used will help cap as many resistances as possible. While this build is not meta, it holds a special place for me, as it was designed specifically for my dad.
