PvP build:

This build is mainly focused on PvP, which is his strongest area in the game. Because of his Destiny passive skill, we want to invest in nodes that benefit him and his partner like Venomous Sting, and All for One. Since it is the PvP build, the rage restoration is one of the most important things so these nodes like Feral Nature, Rejuvenate, Razor Sharp, and Burning Blood is a must.
