Depends what you mean by “starter build” i guess. Boardman Abyssal Echoe build is very good for a new player because it’s very tanky, even if the damage is bad at the start.
For me, if i’m a new player, a glass canon build is very bad because i would get one shot or two shot all the time without having the time to understand the patterns of mobs and their damage type.
I won’t learn a lot of stuff due to that…
If you want others “begginer friendly build”, you should check poison build, they’re OP right now for damage (and will be probably be nerfed in the future due to that). The best poison builds are from the Acolyte mastery : The Lich.
Also, you could try my build, this one : Void Forge Guard BUILD Patch 0.7.8 : The Spirals of Deaths, Hammer Throw with Disintegrating Aura
I think it’s quite begginer friendly, because i hit with it waves +200 at arena with a solo self found character and very bad gear (i started from scratch, just like a new player would).
