Down to 4 Iconics left to play and I'll have my first wave of classes done - Need a rogue life and an Shadar-Kai, so figured I'd wade into a chains build with the minimum amount to get the rogue life. Mostly solo, just level and start over unless I enjoy how it is playing at end game then I may stay there for a week or so.
I do have daggers for days, no real hand-axes - but can look around if it is a deal breaker on anything. Absolutely tied to nothing with the build - this is just my best guess on what information I could find coupled with my limited (but increasing) idea of exactly how things tie together and my deep desire to have very few buttons to push.
Started building it based on Dexterity, but seemed to make more sense to go strength - stuff like that I may totally screw up (still).
