Burning Bullets

This build is recommended for up to Chaos 8 speed running. It lacks the defensive stats to do Chaos 9 or higher reasonably quick. The build uses the Blessed Flames set and utilizes the Heroic Version of Extirpate (Jurgen’s mobility skill). The blessings I used were the fully linked Red + Green gems (2 Green 4 Red or 3 Green 3 Red or 4 Green 2 Red) depending on whether one needs more HP or DMG. NOTE: The build requires owning the Witch Hunter DLC, the God Skills DLC & the Tomb Kings DLC (if you decide to use Hero of the Desert). The Season’s Pass includes all DLCs until Tomb Kings (so the Witch Hunter is not included). The pass is also included in the Magnus Edition.

The gear I recommend using is :

• the Blessed Flames set as armor
• a Barbed Irons Blade – decent dps boost + some hp regen OR Crusader’s Flame when it gets fixed
  
• a Debt of Flame gives us +100% dmg + a stacking 10% per stack DoT boost and -1% cooldown time per Stack for each burning enemy nearby (up to 20 stacks). Also dealing fire damage has a chance to trigger explosions.
  
• Any of those 2 Amulets – Thrice Blessed Copper Medal or Pure Soul Medal to either heal 20% hp when using god skills or get 50% dmg bonus to the god skills we use.
  
• Signet Ring of Resurgence  to give us extra healing and HP. Good choice would also be a Purple Signer Ring or a Signet Ring of Fortification.
  
• Signet Ring of Null – to helps us get energy and a bit of healing when we crit

The Skills and Passives I recommend are:

 

 

 

Setup 1: When using the Blessed Flames Set

 

 

• Any basic skill (Pierce, Persecute, Castigate) – I don’t really use it and it costs 0 points so might as well try and squeeze an extra cooldown skill (Cast Iron) there and use Duelist’s Chain Reaction instead of Hero of the Desert
• Martyr (Basic)- it’s a cooldown skill that can grant a bit of dmg reduction as well as proc things like Duelist’s Chain Reaction
• Condemn (Mastered) – Slows and makes enemies take +20% more dmg for 8 sec. Condemned enemies that die restore +5% hp and +5 energy
• Sacred Sigil (Mastered) – places a trap that triggers when enemies approach it to do massive dmg. Enemies hit do -50% dmg and take +50% more dmg for 6 seconds. Successful attacks against the debuffed enemies restore +3 energy and +X health (the game does not say how much HP is restored)
• Extirpate (Heroic) – the builds’ bread and butter. It’s mobility and damage in one package. While in a ranged stance shoots even more bullets around you so I advise using it in that stance and switching to melee when you need faster cooldown for your god skills and cooldown skills
• Mass Purification (Basic) – does an AoE wave of fire dmg. Enemies under 10% hp are killed instantly.
• Holy Immolation (Basic) – Fire dmg deals +30% extra dmg to burning enemies
• Hunter’s Focus (Mastered) – Give us up to 15% dmg reduction and based on what stance either -20% energy cost but also 20% longer cooldowns (in ranged stance) or +20% energy cost but also 20% faster cooldowns (in melee stance).
• Purified Powder (Superior) – Ranged attacks do +20% dmg, +10% Armor Piercing and grant us +10% bonus dmg for 3 seconds
• Branding Iron (Superior) – All traps deal extra fire damage – a flat number that becomes higher as our own dmg gets higher
• Hero of the Desert – gives a bit of most stats – dmg, dmg reduction, hp, crit dmg, movement speed, energy, counter attack dmg /consider using Duelist’s Chain Reaction here and reworking the other skills with the extra points/
  
• Inculcation – Icons of Sigmar grant +2 more energy, have extra +20% chance to appear & give us +5% dmg per nearby Icon of Sigmar

Legendary Ranks

My advice for every builds is: is start with Legendary Reinforcement and eventually based on whether you need dmg reduction or dmg start investing into either Legendary Endurance or Legendary Punishment. Eventually, get Legendary Crushing for more dmg reduction if really needed.

The God Skill Tree has one version that uses both God Skill Trees:
