Documented from Mike Pengangster (Mike Pang Gangster) launch-era content. Compiled guide, not an official write-up. Character / build name: "Mona Drew."

Both primary and third-class slots are inferred, not stated as game-primary fields.
Solo raid bossing at D3+. Dot-song attrition with Channeler damage reduction, stacked resists, slow, and Inversion for cheap casts. Logged: D3 Nagafen solo on camera.
Race: Unknown. Patch era: launch.

Playstyle Notes
/melody 1 2 3 4 for the tier-5 song rotation — the damage engine is sustained dotsong attrition, not a nuke burn. Sit in Channeler stance for 40% damage reduction while the songs tick. Stack resists hard (creator cited 278 fire resist vs Nagafen). Keep slow applied. Use Inversion invocation for cheaper casts through long fights.
Mend from the Monk slot is the panic heal in the Mon-a-Dru frame. This is the post-swap version of Mike's earlier Monk/Bard/Necromancer kit — Necromancer replaced by Druid.
AA Priorities
- Critical Affliction (3/3) — Dot crit package

Pros & Cons

- Bard primary and Monk slot are inferred from name + play, not confirmed UI primaries
