Many new players fall into the trap of the pure physical Destroyer. They max for area damage and Spectral Echo for melee splash, then dump points into Strength. This fails for three reasons. First, physical damage falls off in the late game (Act 3 and the Shadow Vault) due to high enemy armor. Second, mana management becomes a nightmare; spamming Stomp costs 20+ mana per cast, and potions have a cooldown. Third, a pure melee build has no answer for ranged caster packs (like the Ember Sentries or Netherim Witches) except eating their projectiles. To transcend these limits, we must embrace the spectral tree.
