Hitting weak spots with this Build is a must to generate more mod power and also deal more damage. The Hunter’s Mark will be prolonged as long as you are hitting Weak spots, and maintaining the additional damage it provides is a plus. The minions, on the other hand, will help you accumulate while dealing extra damage to enemies. They can also help divide enemy attention, so you can move around the battlefield freely.
