2.33 (Almost) Pure Diamond Emma


This build is a DPS build, but most items I choose adds Defense Rating, which is very essential in survivability. Will be updated ASAP once Emma gets her single target power(s).

Power Points Allocation



for spirit restore. You can shift 5-10 points to other powers if you prefer.

for survivability

to taunt enemies.

to deal AoE damage and bleed.

for positioning + damage. 1-9 points can be shifted to other powers if you prefer.

for the temporary extra damage reduction and diamond armor restore.

for clearing trash.

for CC break.

for the spike AoE damage.

1 point is sufficient enough.

for diamond armor regen while not in Diamond Form.

for the buff.

Please do rate and give feedback. Don't rate it down before and without saying why, because then I'll immediately assume you're a sore loser trying to rate down everyone's builds because you want yours to be higher, especially since now everyone can see who liked/disliked builds. :)
