Handmaiden/Builds

## General Playstyle

As a melee based utility career, Handmaiden should always put Special killing as your first priority. Then depends on your choice of melee weapon, focus on Elites or Horde Mobs. Use your low cooldown career skill and Level 30 talent as a utility kit to boost your ability. When there is a Boss on the field, clear the roaming mobs around your range DPS, help other melee career deal with Specials. Damaging Boss should be the last thing on your priority list.

## Recommended Range Weapon Choice

All range weapons except Swiftbow are very viable on Handmaiden. However it is still useable on Legend and lower difficulty.

Conservative Shooter
Power vs Armoured on the charm
Scrounger
 Hagbane Shortbow
Barrage
