I call this build TRIUMVIRATE or T1 because it uses 3 sets:
-Armor of Akkhan (5 pieces)
-Norvald's Fervor (2 pieces)
-Sage's Journey (2 pieces)
With just Akkhan and Norvald's Fervor set last season I was able to do:
-T13 Rift 3:20 (DOMINATION!-Season Journey-Guardian)
No augments, only 2 ancients gear pieces
-GR 84 13:04
No augments, no Conduit, only 3 ancients gear pieces, paragon level 762
- Why Akkhan and Norvald's Fervor combo is so strong?
When something increases your damage by 100% it multiplies your damage by 2.
So: 100% is x2 multiplier, 200% is x3 multiplier, 300% is x4 multiplier and so on...
6 piece set bonus from Armor of Akkhan set increases your damage by 600%(x7 multiplier )
2 piece set bonus from Norvald's Fervor set increases your damage by 100%(x2 multiplier )
- Why Akkhan and Norvald's Fervor combo is so strong?
Those multipliers are global(they are not additive, but multiplicative),
so your dmg is not x9 but x2 x 7= x14
This is same as running with 13 ancients with LoN combo 13x100%=1300%
1300%= x14 same as x2 x 7= x14
What Sage's Journey set brings to the build?
Sage's Journey
(3) Set:
Increases Death's Breath drops by 1.
every time Elite, Rift Guardian or Boss drops Death's Breaths the number of Death's Breath drops will be increased by 1.
Since you get 2-3 Death's Breaths per drop on T13, now you will be getting 3-4 Death's Breaths
That is 33-50% increase on T13-on lover difficulties is much more!!!
You will end up with around 50 Death's Breaths per T13 Rift.
3.Conclusion:
Although LoN brings more DMG, once you start one shooting elites with TRIUMVIRATE build
you will not see the difference except maybe on Rift Guardian. You might need one more bomb strike with TRIUMVIRATE build.
The only true difference that you will notice is how much Death's Breaths you get with TRIUMVIRATE build.
This is why TRIUMVIRATE build is most efficient build for T13 Rifts!!!
The build is perfect for seasonal players-NO ANCIENTS are required for build to function on T13!!!
- THE BUILD - TRIUMVIRATE (Akkhan/ Norvald's/Sage's combo)
early, mid and late game setups
Ring of Royal Grandeur is required to get 6 piece bonus from Armor of Akkhan set and 3 piece bonus from Sage's Journey set.
Stat priorities on equipment:
-Thorns as a secondary stat
-CDR % (55.6%+ is ideal)
-Area DMG %
-Bombardment DMG%
"Must-have" passive skills:
-Iron Maiden
-Heavenly Strength
-Lord Commander
High CDR is very important for this build. 55.6%+ is ideal. Try to be as close as you can to that number because you want 100% uptime on Akarat's Champion. You can run with less CDR because of In-geom procs.
Laws of Hope "Wings of Angels" + Long Arm of the Law will help you move quicker from elite pack to next elite pack.
In early game Harrington Waistguard is really good.
Once you pick up more DMG the Strongarm Bracers are more consistent if you are able to one shoot elites - mid game setup.
Once you start one shooting elites without Strongarm Bracers than go with the Gloves of Worship(aka shrine gloves) - mid game setup.
If you are high paragon level and/or fully augmented go with an Avarice Band + Boon of the Hoarder combo. You will have more speed / pickup radius - late game setup.
Also you could use swap Akarat's Champion "Prophet" rune for Akarat's Champion " Rally" rune for more Bombardment casts. - late game setup.

I was running this build without Gloves of Worship, SoJ or Unity on T11 and it was amazing for DB.
I'll try your build tomorrow to see if I can clear T13 in less than 4 minutes.
How does this build fair compared to ltk, can it compete in terms of farm speed?
I don't play monk.
I'm liking this build I really am, tuning it is a little difficult as getting thorns secondary and perf rolls is a pain. Have you tried it with 3 piece invokers?
I do not play HC-lag, internet... I saw that people are playing LoN and in LoN you do not have 100% up time on Akarat's Champion. With this
build you can have. Put Aquila Cuirass in the cube than. Just keep in mind that you do not have Illusory Boots, so waller affix is deadly-use
Bottomless Potion of Kulle-Aid. Still i think that LoN with unity in the cube offers more toughness...
3 piece invoker is build that i want to test for high GRs. in process...
This guide is so informative and educational. Ive watched your vid and it was very helpful. Thank you.
tnx bro
Fantastic guide as usual. 100% quality. Is it possible to survive without Unity and with COE instead? In solo or in groups.
Since you do not have follower in groups, Oculus Ring is also an option.
what a great build and what a great explanation! thank you.
At what point (Thorns/Para) should this build start pushing T13s? I'm burning T10s like nothing and it's impressive how fast it is, but sitting at 651 Para (with admittedly not the best rolls - though the CDR doesn't matter since I'm not burning through mobs fast enough to keep in-geom chained) I'm getting my face smashed in on T13s.
Hoping to leverage this for the <4m clear and maybe the Skel King/Butcher parts if it has the oomph (otherwise I'll just work on LoN Bombardment) and just want to know where I should be, since the video has marginally better rolls and 1400 Paragon. It's still a fantastic T10 speedfarmer and I'll be using it for DBs and to get some gems partway to being used as augments. (Edit: Should I just go for 6-piece Akkhan and Endless Walk, instead of the Sage pieces, and look at CoE + Heart of Vitality/Aguila? I guess the answer is making to just look up an Akkhan build, heh.)
Thanks!

You can swap shrine gloves for hexing pants although empowered shrine (10min duration) helps if you don't kill elite pack with one bomb cast.
Thanks - I totally didn't catch that you were at different paragons in the clips.
