Playstyle

Your Q-spell is your bread and butter. With its low cooldown and high base damage, its great for clearing mobs. In between Qs you can use your W, E or auto attacks.
Your W-ability throws a trap which doesnt deal much damage but slows enemies, while boosting your movement speed. Its on a low cooldown, allowing it to be used often.(This spell unlocks on Level 15 Crossbows, so you might have to defeat more mobs before you can use it.)
Your E-ability, Exploding Shot, is a good starting ability that attaches a bomb to your target. This does little initial damage but explodes after 2 seconds, dealing more damage in a larger radius. If the target dies before the explosion, it does not deal area damage.
Combining these skills with your passive, Well-Prepared, unlocks even more damage potential. To use it effectively, use your Q as the fourth spell. This immediately removes any cooldown from it and youll be able to use Q twice in quick succession. Since your Q has a short cooldown and you have additional abilities, you can cycle through multiple passive rotations quickly.
When youre low on Energy or need extra Energy, use your Cowl ability. For every hit taken you replenish some Energy while generally decreasing the damage you take.
The Robe's strong defensive skill can be used to avoid damage. As long as you take damage in the 1.5 second window after activation, you receive an invulnerability shield making you immune to damage while increasing your damage output by 20% for 3 seconds.
Your boots make up for your lack of mobility. They have a charge-up ability that offers escape from fights. While this allows you to cover large distances, it has a 1-minute cooldown.

That's it for this week - stay tuned for more Basic Builds guides coming soon!
