Guide
The goal of this build is to maximize AoE Damage and AoE Crowd Control.
Your main damage will be from your Meteor Charge in the air (so you need to jump before releasing it) with its now much larger AoE effect from the No Escape Talent, this main damage skill should be aimed at the ground/feet to attain sustained damage in fights with little to no risk in missing.
The jumping aspect of this build gets easier the more you play it, but it is essential to your damage modifier for Sky Piercer and Ranged Affix's.
Build Benefits:
High Damage Output
Guaranteed High AoE Damage
High AoE Crowd Control
High Mobility
Skill Combo's are purely situational but the basic is to engage with Gravitational for the AoE Damage and Crowd Control Pull and Stun then following up with a Free-Cast Tempest for AoE Damage Overtime and Slow Crowd Control. While on Cooldowns you now do your Most damage with Meteor Charge up at the ground for 200+ damage per Charge hit with the ability to follow up that Charge hit with an Free-Cast one hitting for 500+ damage while skills are on cooldown for 15 seconds. Remember being in air and being 5+ Meters away when releasing the Meteor Charge is crucial to hitting this damage. Then you rinse and repeat for INSANE Crowd Control and Damage. Rise and repeat every 15 seconds with AoE Skills while focusing on Main Damage with Charged-Up Meteor Charm.
This build is Trio Focused. But with the Mobility Skills of being able to fall any height with no damage while running faster(Phantom Step), going invisible with a speed boost(Shadow Veil) and having a hard stun/block(Cryptic Ward) however this build is workable in Solo's with Green/Blue but really turns on with Purple/Yellow.
