Build Guide
Gems
- Helm: Diamond
- Armor: Diamonds (Emeralds below GR 60-65)
- Weapon: Emerald
Stats
- Discipline is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT on this build!
- Make sure you have 12 Discipline on your Chest, both Weapons, & 10 Discipline on your SoJ! You should be at 96 Max Discipline if you have everything rolled correctly.
- CDR
- You need at least 36.5% CDR to achieve permanent Vengeance with Dawn Cubed.
- I would highly recommend getting a little extra (38-40%) so you have a few seconds of overlap otherwise you might end up dying.
- Getting three 8 CDR rolls + the 10% from Paragon will put you at 38.67%. (8 CDR on Shoulders, 10 CDR on one Weapon, & 8 CDR on one Ring = 39.99%) or (8 CDR on Shoulders & 10 CDR on both Weapons = 41.31%)
- Life Per Hit
- Having Life Per Hit on your Bracers or Weapon will boost your survivability a lot when running GR 80+.
- Crit Chance
- If you have very low CC (~40%) you can switch Mark for Death - Valley of Death to Caltrops - Bait the Trap.
- Hellcat Waistguard 3 vs 5 bounces
- Having only 3 bounces on your Hellcat Waistguard is actually better when running very fast rifts.
- Grenade Cache vs Cluster Grenades
- After playing with both Runes extensively, I've found that Grenade Cache works much better for this "Elite Hunting" style of game play.
- Hitting with only two Grenades is 1.6x more dmg, hitting with all three is 2.4x. But keep in mind, it will hit less targets
- So, if u want more AOE and less Single Target Dmg, feel free to use the Cluster Grenades Rune instead.
Jewelry Options

Ring Stats

- Avarice Band: CC, CD, Socket, AD > Avg Dmg (Ancient) > iAS > CDR > Dex
- Convention of Elements: CC, CD, Socket, AD > Avg Dmg (Ancient) > iAS > CDR > Dex
- Focus & Restraint: CC, CD, Socket, AD > Avg Dmg (Ancient) > iAS > CDR > Dex
Greater Rifts 75-90+
- Gear
- Swap Nemesis/Strong Arms to Wraps of Clarity
- Passives
- Change Archery to Awareness
- Skills
- You can switch Grenade - Grenade Cache to Grenade - Cluster Grenades for more AoE Dmg & AD Procs when running High GRs. Grenade Cache's single target dmg starts to become less effective once mobs start living longer. This is why it's better to stack AD and use Cluster Grenades in high GRs.
- For more Toughness swap Mark for Death - Valley of Death to Fan of Knives - Bladed Armor.
- GR 95+
- Toughness becomes an issue in the mid 90's. At this point you'll want to swap your Danetta's set to the Dawn, Fortress Ballista, & Buriza-Do Kyanon combo.
