Krysbin's Sentence

Rings and Amulet

- Any combination of the rings can be used.

- Area Damage or Cooldown Reduction can be used with Crit Hit Chance and Crit Hit Damage.

- Wisdom of Kalan adds more toughness but more importantly, with the Harvest of Anguish rune, will give more movement speed.

Chest and Shoulders

- Corpse Explosion Skill Damage can be used on these items or more toughness if you need it.

Weapon

- It is important to have a 2H with high damage.

- If you want more speed you could use Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang with Lost Time in the off-hand and Releina's Shadowhook in the cube.

- You will also want max essence on your weapon and anywhere else possible.

Gems

- Bane of the Trapped is highly recommended to trigger Krysbin's Sentence.

- Mirinae is also very strong with a 2H weapon and often puts enemies below 15% health and the bone tornado finishes them off.

- Boon of the Hoarder recommended with Goldwrap and Avarice Band.

Build Guide

Basic Gameplay

Initiate with Bone Armor/Grim Scythe for speed and corpses. Then use Corpse Explosion to finish everything off. Land of the Dead can also be used to get your corpses started. But I normally save Land of the Dead for the Rift Guardian and Juggernauts. The biggest roadblocks for this build are Juggernauts and map layout/density.

GR Speeds (65+)

- Replace Goldwrap with Dayntee's Bindings

- Replace Avarice Band with Unity, Convention of Elements, or Brigg's Wrath (Adds toughness, damage, or crowd control respectively)

- Replace Boon of the Hoarder with Gogok, Pain Enhancer, or a damage reduction gem.

Additional Notes

- This build is a work in progress and is not fully optimized. I will update if changes are made or I find more efficient options.
