Kanai's Cube

  • Scythe of the Cycle
  • Tasker and Theo
  • Krysbin's Sentence

Playstyle:

  • Get up 4-6 mages before entering the Rift or Bounty;
  • Once in, get Bone Armor stacks up;
  • Cannabolize corpses (repeatedly) and use bone spikes to keep essence up;
  • Blood Rush to get out of tight spots, heal and mobility in general;
  • Need to wear or cube Ring of Royal Grandeur and eliminate either the Avarice Band or Krysbin's Sentence. Of note, Aura of Frailty synergizes well with Avarice Band and Boon of the Hoarder (pick up radius);
  • Use Enchantress as Follower.

Alternatives:

  • Can use the Jesseth Set and switch Bone Spikes for Command Skeletons: Freezing Grasp. Keep Cycle of the Scythe in the cube;
  • Season 16: Don't need the Ring of Royal Grandeur. Just use the other 3 rings mentioned;

Greater Rifts (1 to 80):

  1. Switch Gold Wrap for Dayntee's Binding;
  2. Convention of Elements (damage) or Unity (defense) for Avarice Band;
  3. Switch to the Jesseth Arms set;
  4. Could consider removing Steuart's Greaves for Hexing Pants of Mr. Yan;
  5. Molten Gizzard (sustain), Bane of the Powerful (damage), or Zei's Stone of Vengeance (damage and stun chance) for Boon of the Hoarder;
  6. Could add more Area damage rolls;
  7. Skill changes: Command Skeletons: Freezing Grasp for Bone Spikes, Bone Armor: Dislocation and Commander of the Risen for Death for Fueled by Death passive.
