Build Guide

Ntrnettufguy here! Introducing the new SUPER FAST Death's Breath farm build for speed farming T8-T10 rifts! I average 30 Death's Breath per T8 rift clearing up to the Rift Guardian. You can get more if you decide to clear the entire rift. Rift times for my gear average about 5 to 7 minutes, meaning roughly 400 Death's Breath per hour with good rift rng. NOTE: The most Death's Breaths that I've gotten from a single rift was 69; lowest is 23. NOTE: This is not a progression build; just solely a super FAST Death's Breath farming build. **Video above**


Alternatives:

  • You can change out the belt and amulet for whatever you want. Having a Hellfire amulet with any of the required passives allows you to then use the Determination passive also.
  • If you are having trouble surviving or would like to push higher torment then you can swap out Gungdo Gear bracers for Spirit Guards. Thanks to Hreidmar for the comment!
  • If you don't want to use the Exploding Palm (EP) damage from Uliana's 2-set bonus then change out Uliana's chest for Cindercoat for more fire damage and swap out Uliana's pants for Depth Diggers for more primary skill damage. You would then want to swap out Gungdo Gear bracers for Spirit Guards since you would no longer have EPs.

Overview:

  • Auto attack with Crippling Wave
  • Use Dash for movement speed boost and to get out of dangerous situtions (also use quickly after killing an elite pack because of In-Geom's reduced cooldowns for 15 seconds)
  • Pop Breath of Heaven when low on spirit (and also at beginning of each pull, if available, to gain spirit fast // also good to use when In-Geom proc is up from killing an elite pack)
  • Use Cyclone Strike to bring enemies close, freeze them, and then cleave them down
  • Pop Epiphany at 15 stacks of Gogok or when expecting to take a lot of damage (also good to use when In-Geom proc is up from killing an elite pack)
  • Use Mantra of Salvation only when expecting a lot of melee or ranged damage (not elemental, i.e., molten, frozen, etc.)
  • Use Crippling Wave and Cyclone Strike frequently to maintain both for Focus/Restraint (F/R) damage buff
  • Crippling Wave is primary damage, but Uliana's 2-piece set bonus applies Exploding Palm (EP) and Gungdo Gear wrists spread EP when mobs die. The combination of Crippling Wave and EP damage is insanely awesome for farming T8 speed rifts.
