Waven Iop Justelame build

On Waven, the Iop Brutal Fairblade was one of the best offensive classes in the game. But the 0.20 patch has had a major impact on it, and it's no longer one of the game's top 5 classes. So, is this the end of the Waven Iop Justelame build? Not quite: let's revive this class with this even more offensive build!

How to create a good Waven Iop Justelame build?

Let's start with the basics. The Iop Brutal Fairblade's passive gives it 50% of its armour attack when you trigger Melee. Melee is a mechanic unique to the Justelame, encouraging it to surround itself with as many enemies as possible. A good Waven Iop Justelame build therefore gains armour and damage by putting itself at the heart of the battle.
