About

The updated version of this build is using the new Spirit Xylem primordial staff to take our weapon slot. This item provides a huge amount of benefit to our build all around. The Avalanche build can clear all pinnacle content and comfortably farm at 500+ corruption. Here your Maelstrom does the majority of the work in echoes, as you move around the maps cast Warcry to trigger Maelstrom and any small mob will generally fall. When you reach a bigger group/enemy trigger your Avalanche and upon hit you will also trigger Upheaval. Use your Avalanche sparingly unless you adjust your build to be more mana regen focused.

The loot filter can be found here.
