This is a variation of the barrage build for mainly FOW, or any other mission/quest with a monster magnet.

You need a tank (book carrier) and a few monks, then lots of rangers

Summary

This is a variation on one of the many barrage builds, that simply packs the EoE bomb for extra punch, putrid explosion then puts the final nail in the coffin, for any stragglers.

For those unfamiliar with barrage builds.
The Tank, grabs the book while the monks keep him alive.
The Rangers then spam the hell out of barrage and one ranger drops EoE. When the first monster goes down, add putrid explosion.

Rinse and repeat.
