  • Legendary Gems

    • Bane of the Trapped
    • Taeguk
    • Pain Enhancer

This build is based around Fury of the Vanished Peak. Full IK set for 6-set bonus and Focus/Restraint for their set bonus. Top it off with Strongarm for the legendary effect you'll be applying on all mobs.


This build is intended for group play so even if you're not slowing mobs or in range for the passive effect on Bane of the Trapped, I'm assuming there will be someone in your group to apply some crowd control. Taeguk can take a bit to stack and it's awful when it runs out (REFUSE TO RES THE DH/WIZ), but otherwise easy to keep up, use sprint to keep it up between mobs. Pain enhancer is mostly for the attackspeed, and you can replace that with whatever you like.

Build Guide

Tired of firechains, electrified, molten, arcane mobs 1-hitting you in 50+ ? Go ranged!!1


With a team setup, you can sit back in safety like the other squishies and dps your heart out. You'll feel so safe you can reroll all vitality off your gear and focus on straight damage affixes. Seismic slam is hitting such a big area that you're dps'ing before your tank has even gathered up the mobs.


1 weapon throw followed by 8+ seismic slams before you have to cast another weapon throw to keep up Focus/Restraint buff. On big groups you won't lack fury, but on smaller packs or grift boss, you will have to use a lot more weapon throws. You can change ancients rune to Ancients' fury if you feel you need more fury, but then you may wanna replace the passive weapon master for more dmg.


With full IK set, you will have Wrath and Ancients up 100%, Wrath is ready quite a few seconds before the buff runs out.
