Cooldown build

Notes This build has 40% CDR so you can get dragon form every 50 seconds, and even less if the spear of desolation's effect activates.
Can replace Valor with a Sovereignty and take Chronos' pendant (instead of Magus).
Item order can vary based on personnal preference, but I always recommend taking thebes right after the starting item.
