This Uliana's Exploding Palm build is very strong. NOTE : The FIST Weapon for left hand that is REQUIRED is not in Diablofans inventory . It is called ' LION'S CLAW ' The main Bonus is Skill: 'Seven Sided Strike' performs an additional (7) strikes' . In-Geom may be used if you have not found a 'Lion's Claw' . You will need ' Lion's Claw ' for build to work properly . CDR is very important to build and all so Area Damage , Try to work in as much CDR and Area Damage on as many pieces of gear as possible . Also try to get some form of secondary elemental resistance on as much gear as possible . 20 % cold damage somewhere like Bracers or last resort your Amulet . Ring's Unity or COE may be worn . Equip the ring with the best stats. CUBE the other ring . This build is very fun edge of your seat gameplay . It takes practice to get the synergy of the skills and passives working together . But once you spent time practicing you will be pushing higher and higher Greater Rifts !!!

Build Guide

There are 4 things to keep in mind while playing the build:

The Uliana's 2 piece bonus does not apply EPs that benefit from area damage. In all cases you must avoid applying EPs with the set bonus. You can do this by manually applying an EP (pressing the button), and spreading it using SSS. Also, the 2 piece bonus will not overwrite existing EPs, so once every mob in the area has EP on it (through SSS) you can freely use your generator to get spirit and assimilation stacks.
Mythic rhythm passive generates a buff on your character after the 3rd spirit generator attack (this does not show on the buff bar). However, if you apply new EPs through your 2 set bonus, the MR buff is consumed. Your goal is to punch monster(s) with EPs on them already 3 times, thus generating a MR buff, then carry that buff to a new set of monsters and apply an EP manually.
The most damage you can do is by creating a large amount of density and using SSS while you have the following buffs: Cold COE, assimilation, 100 stacks of Endless Walk, and the occulus ring circle. Setting this up can be a bit tricky, and i show a specific example in the video.
Survivability comes from two places. First the gear. You need the correct secondary resist rolls on every piece of gear, high mainstat from paragons/augments, and recovery through life per second and life per kill. Second, the active abilities that buff defense: Mantra Salvation , dodge dash, binding of the lost belt, and desert shroud. Missing one of these 4 at any point in the rift will often lead you death.
