the 1st time i found golden kris, maybe a year ago, i was already thinking of a build for it. an elementalist seems like a fine class for it. subbing hunting seems fine too. it's not melee but it's a weapon user. but it's very hard to find this self-found. shield can be just a normal difficulty outriders buckler enhanced with legendary charm/relic. no need for strength. i don't even think a weapon damage converted to elemental is needed, since most of the damage is elemental
