[Wolcen 1.0] [Guide] Ailment Stacking Melee Character | Start to Endgame [play_like_jay]

Greetings Everybody!
In this Video #Guide I'm showing you my first #Build in #Wolcen after the official release. It's still in the beginning of endgame but until this point I steamrolled the whole game.
Bosses get stunned within a few seconds and usually your damage is enough so they will never have a chance to get really dangerous.
This build killed the last phase of the last campaign boss in 4 seconds - without any special gear or high level.
Bleeding Edge allows the player to move while dealing damage - ailment stacking makes sure that even those enemies who got touched just once by Bleeding Edge will be no more.
The playstyle is active, safe, and efficient - due to high mobility, damage over time, and no gear requirements - the perfect choice to get started in Wolcen Endgame.

I will try to answer any questions in the comments!
