Claws are pure aggression. Fast combos, self-healing, and ruptures that shred enemies. If you want to be in the middle of the fight at all times, this is your weapon.
Here’s a quick summary that we’ll break down further as you go.
| Build | Key Stats | Blood | Gear | Spells | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PvE | Cooldown recovery, attack speed | Brute + Rogue | Grim/Dread | Blood Dash, Soulburn, Blood Rite, Heartstrike | Aggressive sustain |
| PvP | Cooldown recovery, damage reduction | Brute + Rogue or Warrior + Brute | Grim/Duskwatcher | Blood Dash, Soulburn, Blood Rite/Ward, Heartstrike/Merciless Charge | Burst + sustain |
PvE Claw Build
Best stats
Weapon skill cooldown recovery first. Attack speed second. Physical power third. Bonus max health and healing received help in longer fights.
Best blood
Brute + Rogue.
Brute for lifesteal and bonus melee damage. Rogue for crit chance and extra movement speed.
Gear
Grim set (good defense) or Dread set (offense).
Yellow amulet or Red if you want pure damage.
Elixir of the Beast for more claw damage and healing.
Spells
Blood Dash
Soulburn
Blood Rite
Heartstrike (ultimate)
PvE tips
Basic attacks stack puncture. Three stacks cause rupture (extra damage and AoE).
2x basic → Q → third basic → E to rupture.
Cancel your Q into dashes or blocks to stay mobile.
Stay aggressive. Lifesteal and rupture heals will keep you going.
Talons of the Lich Beast are best. They heal you and summon exploding skeletons when you land ruptures.
PvP Claw Build
Best stats
Cooldown recovery first. Damage reduction second. Max health third. Physical power last. Healing received is a bonus.
Best blood
Brute + Rogue or Warrior + Brute.
Brute for the healing. Warrior adds damage reduction if you want to brawl longer.
Gear
Grim set or Duskwatcher (adds movement and resistance).
Yellow amulet.
Elixir of the Beast or Prowler Elixir.
Spells
Blood Dash or Veil of Blood (heal when dashing)
Soulburn
Blood Rite or Ward of the Damned
Heartstrike or Merciless Charge (for fast engages)
PvP tips
Stay in melee. Never back off unless you’re forced to.
Cancel Q attacks into dashes to dodge or reposition.
Rupture timing wins fights. Don’t waste your E.
Claws are bad if you miss your burst. Play tight and aggressive.
Talons of the Lich Beast again. Healing + exploding skeletons are too good to skip.
