Kanai's Cube

  • Staff of Chiroptera
  • Ice Climbers
  • Convention of Elements

Items revolve around LON, Bakuli Jungle Wraps and Staff of Chioptera.

All other items are optional but most are probably best in slot.

Beware of using a very fast weapon since you risk running out of mana.

Boots gives 10k-40k regen when standing still which gives a bit of synergy with the playstyle.

Aquilas in cube is also good (not an option in the builder here), you can also choose Lacumba bracers, illusory boots or strong arm bracers.

If learning on HC you have room to swap COE for Unity.

Build Guide

Intro:

Inspiration is from early ROS where 3xfirebat+monk puller was the meta.

The build is to showcase what you can do with these new items and how inferior it is compared to ht-garg.


The good:

It's a fun build which plays a lot different to the traditional wd pet builds.

It's got great mob control and feels like a cool build.


The bad:

Good rolled ancient best in slot gear is a harsh requirement.

When monsters die too slow you'll hit a brick wall.

It lacks synergy with support builds since higher mob hps means you'll hit that brick wall sooner.

It's suscpeptible to knockback (unless you run iceclimbers), more glassy than ht-garg and you have to facetank.


Summary:

I've done gr65 and already around those lvls it gets really hairy for this build in HC.

With full high augs, lots of paragon (1500+) and some fishing someone could maybe (big maybe) push it to 80.

Compare this with ht-garg where non ancient were capabably of 65-70 a few days into the season.
