Making use of all 6 pieces of the Unhallowed Essence set and the Bastions of Will rings (Focus/Restraint) while combining it with the Kridershot/Meticulous Bolts quiver, you can effectively step straight into GR 45+ and handily clear rifts. With the properly rolled Kridershot, you can really maximize your efforts. bear in mind that Max Discipline can roll on Chest/Bow/Quiver and is a valuable stat for the new UE set.

Build Guide

This build takes a bit of work and effort to execute properly, but when done, it's damage will tear things down quite rapidly with the new Unhallowed Essence set. Keep in mind that your movement requires you to direct a lot of the enemies to go within the line of the balls being shot out.
