Convention of Elements

1) It is possible to use Unity instead of OROTZ for HC. Akarath's uptime will take much longer though.

2) You can use Hellfire amulet as well, with Unity, but DPS will drop by A LOT.

3) Don't cube Golden Flense and wear Furnace, Golden Flense rolls with Sweep Damage.

4) You can also use any defensive gems instead of Bane of the Powerful. But BOtP is the way to go for high GRs.

All gems in chest/head/legs = Diamonds

Build Guide

Hey guys!

So, Roland got a significant buff in 2.5.0 and 2.6.1! More damage and more toughness.

Actually Sweeper was the first solid Roland's build that made it to the top of leaderboards. It's very oldschool. And it was the first build which allowed me to enter TOP100 LB for Crusaders during season 3/ERA. I must say the build itself hasn't changed much since then! The skills are the same. Just the items have changed a little.

Here is my GR90 clear:https://youtu.be/BzueSQNcQ4Y
