Easy build

S9 gives us the capability to combine multiple legendary enchants for the first time ever. In this build we will try to maximise sinister strike dps by using titan's grip while also using synergies from the hunter beast mastery tree as well as some eclipse synergies. This build exploits the extra damage from the polearm's Phalanx Strike and double down by using a 1h weapon in the offhand. You can either play this build with a nature investment, a shadow investment or a hybrid investment and incorporate a pet as well.
