Overview

This Ranger build focuses on the high damage done through building up SP (Spell Power), capable of taking on and clearing all PVE content with ease as this build type is considered one of, if not the most potent DPS builds in corepunk. While powerful, it requires good (and sometimes expensive) artifacts while also requiring a high Weapon Mastery investment as the build only starts functioning once you get Acidic BarrageAcidic Barrage. It gets considerably better once you level up your talents too with Piercing OnslaughtPiercing Onslaught and Chrono CascadeChrono Cascade being important upgrades for cooldown speed and DPS.
