Note: added LoH to weapon on planner in place of INT.


Note: updated D3planner link to reflect the fact that elite% and elemental% do not currently buff MH proc damage. Try for AS or INT on amulet.

See here for the test I did on that:

Build Guide

Video shows GR89 clear.

Similar to the Tal Rasha AT:SD Manald build, here is the FB version which is more tanky, but dishes out less damage. This is due to having a lower damage multiplier and lower base AS breakpoint than the Tal setup.

Suprisingly, being able to stand and channel longer due to the DR somewhat makes up for the lower damage. It's a little more clunky than the Tal build, less mobile, and less efficient, but it works.

Defense for the build is provided by FB6, Safe Passage, OID, Aquila, Halo + APDs, and Mantle of Channeling.


This build leverages the fact that AT:SD can proc MH twice on the same target at the same time. We slot high AS + PE like the Torment farming builds do to hit increased breakpoints.


Taeguk is great for the extra damage boost. Typically MH doesn't proc immediately when engaging enemies, so dropping stacks isn't so bad of a thing. The idea is to clear the rift faster, spend a little more time on an RG (RG with adds like Saxtris would be king), but overall spend less time in the rift compared to having Stricken.


Resource is managed with many sources:

  • RCR on Shoulder, Paragon, Topaz, and (possibly) source.
  • APoC
  • MW:Conduit
  • +Max AP from paragon, wand, and source.

These allow you to keep up Aquila at all times, even on single target.
