Brawler

2 builds

Claw is an Unarmed weapon that perfectly matches Brawler's +50% Attack Speed with Unarmed, letting you stack multiple copies for extremely fast melee hits. The build exploits Claw's strong melee scaling and combines it with dodge and attack speed items so you can punch through dense waves at close range.
