This is my lazy build that I've used for a couple seasons now. It is by no means meant to be a leader board build or anything of the like. I'm currently pushing GRs and am at 118. So far no deaths in a GR. I'm starting to have trouble with dealing damage, but defense is fine.


Skills:

Disintegrate - Triggers the Arcane needed for the the bonus on Tal Rasha. Also it triggers Magic Weapon deflection the whole time you channel it. And by channeling this, your Deathwish will give all damage a boost, including the many meteors that will be falling.


Meteor - This is the main part of this build. Comet will make this proc the ice portion for the Tal Rasha bonus. Many of the items and skills revolve around this skill. Mempo of Twilight will only effect the one you cast, not the automatic meteors.


Teleport - Movement is nice, always useful. Use Safe Passage if you feel you need it.


Familiar - Using Sparkflint will cover the Fire proc for the Tal Rasha set and give you a great damage boost.


Storm Armor - This is a great ability. You can use whatever rune you wish for this. I like Power of the Storm just so I can cast as much as I want without a problem. This skill will trigger your Lightning for the Tal Rasha set.


Magic Weapon - All around great damage boost. You can explore the different rune, but for pushing I really suggest deflection. As I said above, in combination with channeling disintegrate this skill makes you almost immortal while channeling, depending on your max life.


When is come to using Unity... swap out when you feel you can do without. Stone of Jordan is a really nice damage boost. And Halo of Karini is a great defense boost. Both are hard to replace, but Unity can really help for pushing.


Gems: I use purple in helm to give me more shield from Magic Weapon Deflection, Emerald on Weapon, as always. And topaz everywhere else.

Feel free to swap bane of the powerful for something else like zei or taeguk. I simply use it because it's generic and any build can benefit from it.

Build Guide

Use all your buff skills (2,3 and 4). Go into Battle, and attack with disintegrate. Doing so will trigger 2 stacks of your tal rasha set. Arcane from Disintegrate and Fire from Sparkflint that fires every time you do. Meanwhile your storm armor will start hitting enemies causing your stack to go to 3. Right click to use meteor and you should be at 4 full stacks.


Tal Rasha stacks last 8 seconds at 4 stacks. Each time you use an opposing element, it will add 2 seconds to bring you back up to the max of 8 seconds. (Drawn out example: Use a fire skill, add 2 seconds. Use another fire skill, nothing. Use arcane, add 2 more seconds, use a fire skill, add 2 seconds.) So what this means is, you can use fire and arcane together to keep adding 2 seconds. So every time you channel Disintegrate with Chaos Nexus, Sparkflint will also fire. Keeping you at max stacks. (Holding Shift and firing even while no enemies are around will raise it back up to 8 seconds if you are in a lull)


Your main source of damage will be the tons of meteors that will be raining down. Disintegrate is just a means to channel to get your buffs, and to direct your meteors where to go.


tldr use 2,3,4 and then go kill things. Keep channeling disintegrate to keep your buff at max once you have 4 stacks.
