The objective of the build is to spam wave of light to stack taeguk, active SWK and give the dot of wave of light a +500% damage.

The passive UNITY STACK ON TEMPLAR AND TWO AIR ALLIES.

Use wyrdward to stun enemies and active the passive RENTLESS ASSAULT and BANE OF THE TRAPPED GEM.

I play with INNA'S SET for belt leg and chest and a LACUNI PROWLERS for bracers. If you prefer or you dont have INNA'S SET you can use AUGHILD'S SET on bracers and chest and CAPITAIN CRIMSON'S SET on belt and legs.

If you feel like you need more survivability you can use SIXTH SENSE, TRASCENDANCE passive.

If you feel like you need more spirit regeneration you can use THE GUARDIAN'S PATH, EXALTED SOUL passive.

Build Guide

As soon as you get in a fight start spam your wave of light on enemies, if you can keep your character as far as you can from enemies so you can active ZEI'S GEM. Try keep taeguk stack up, when you are near half of your spirit active epiphany to keep/get more spirit (active epiphany earlier if you are going to die fast). When you end spirit active air ally and refill. You should try to cap your cdr in a point where you can span wave of light and have a cooldown that with air ally you wont stop spam it.
