Incredible damage due to nearly permanent quickness, spammable damage through static discharge, and lots of tankiness from straight damage reductions with moderate condi cleanse to deal with random condi application or very carefully let you fight condi focused builds. Hope this was at least somewhat helpful.

Yeah, I made a diviner build specifically for the purpose of maintaining perma every boon I can get and then stacking damage reduction so I take 0 damage when I use spectrum shield. It's not a meta level build but it can work in higher tiers if you position yourself correctly in fights and cycle cds properly.

I hit an Eng for 46 CRITICAL (Yeap 46 it's not missing a number) yesterday... And he jumped on me doing 2,5 K dmg in auto atack... Better just leave point and wait for another chance XD...

Lol, this is a hilarious bug if true.
