Overview

Documented from a Clickbait Boys on-camera series during July 2026 open beta (post-July-14 patch). Compiled guide, not an official write-up. Creator name unconfirmed.

Deliberate no-priest sustain build, played in The Hole at level 43 on camera. Dual-classed pets (post-patch) dot, proc, and hold aggro hard; Necro mez (Screaming Terror) lands to 55 and Bard mez to ~52 for crowd control; lifetaps, Paragon of Spirit at 50, and Invenom Bolt at 50 are the payoff curve.

One trap the source found: auto-twisted dot songs break your own mezzes — manage the twist. Creator swapped the warder for the Necro pet at mid levels for the level advantage. Bounce credited in a Nagafen kill.

Playstyle Notes

Let dual pets hold and chew. Mez with Screaming Terror and Bard mez; keep lifetaps up. Do not auto-twist dot songs into your own mezzes. Warder early, Necro pet mid for the level advantage. Paragon of Spirit and Invenom Bolt at 50 are the online point.

AA Priorities

  1. Paragon of Spirit — At 50
  2. Bounce — Credited in a Nagafen kill
