  • Aquila Cuirass

Playstyle:


  • Start off by getting Tal Rasha's set bonuses up: Diamond Skin, Black Hole, Electrocute, and Explosive Blast;
  • Maintain Tal Rasha (TR) set bonuses and Bastions Will damage bonuses by alternating between 2 spells: Explosive Blast and another spell (ideally Electrocute for resource);
  • Maintain Diamond Skin off cooldown and keep Aquila Cuirass defensive bonus up;
  • Teleport to get out of tight spots and movement speed/distance;
  • Use Black Hole to group enemies (around elites ideally);
  • Amethyst or Diamond in the helm and Topazs in armor slots.

  • Note: If low paragon (600-800), there is a noticable damage drop off after Greater Rift 85. Higher paragon (1000+), the same thing happens after Greater Rift 90+.

Gear Alternatives:

  • Wear the Tal Rasha pants, 2-piece Captain Crimson (boots and belt), use Etched Sigil instead of Tal Rasha Source, use Wand of Woh and cube Orb of Infinite Depth. Need to use channeling skill to get the damage multiplier from Etched Sigil applied to Explosive Blast. Could use Taeguk gem as well.
  • Wear Hexing Pants instead of the Tal Rasha pants and wear Tal Rasha chest piece;
  • Use Magefist and wear Tal Rasha chest piece;
  • Wear Tal Rasha chest piece, use Captain Crimson's pants and boots and wear Witching Hour;
  • Could work in Illusory Boots, but you have Teleport to get out of tight spots;
  • Can use Gogok of Swiftness to help with CDR until you are geared properly.

Stat Alternatives:

  • Could add more RCR rolls (toughness from Captain Crimson set).
  • Add Life roll on belt or Vitality on source for more toughness.
  • Secondary Physical resistance and pick up radius where you can get it.

Skill Alternatives: Glass Cannon for Unstable Anomaly.
