Build Guide
Nerfed by blizz, the inarius set now only proccs legendary gems around 1 every 3 seconds
Super tanky melee build super easy to play and fun to boot!
The "bone storm" procs the TearDrop gem which provides dps and healing, even in my shoddy gear seen crits of half a trillion at 2k paragon.
Corpse Lance skill on shoulders and chest
As this build evolves this guide will be updated.

The secondary stat +max essence is worth up to 20% more damage with +40 max essence, correct?
That makes it kind of important on any weapon, that's a decent chunk of DPS.
Oh and for wearing Krysbin's Sentence that's a great idea if you can get one close to 100%. That being the trick.
With how wonky the additive and multiplicative damage bonuses are in D3, I am unsure if a 20% boost is worth as much as the 10% weapon damage boost that everything else is based on.
So which is actually a greater benefit in the end? I know it's not as simple as 20>10, because the things being compared are not the same sort of bonuses.
Well, you can have both. Just need lucky rolls!
I don't have that option on the one I have.
I can re-roll the Vitality to +10% wpn dmg or the Life after Kill to +40 Essence. I can't do both.
I'm not sure on what you can and can't reroll, but you can get %dam and +max essence for sure.
For example:
On the one I have, I cannot. I am missing both the %dam and the +essence so I am going to have to pick one.
dakeeperbhv71 I've seen variants with Gogok and Nayr's Black Death (currently trying it without Gogok and it's not that great) and I'm also gonna try Wreath of Lightning.
hotfix not live till 10th July
Yeah, and there's no way to tell how bad it'll be. Hopefully not enough to warrant tossing it!
Il be testing and updating this soon to make it viable again x
this is my go to build for farming rift keys i swapped mirinaes out for wreath of lighting
How does this differ from the original Bone Storm build, other than switching Final Service for Overwhelming Essence?

Accidental double post.
Hey Bigdaddyden,
this was a great build before Mirinae fix, but now have some issues:
- its extremelly vulnerable from range attacks (archers etc).
- it has problem with healing, since before fix, main healing source was Mirinae gem (which now, doesnt procs that ofter, so reduced healing)
- dmg output seems to be slightly decreased due to Mirinae not procs that offen
Any suggestion about those issues? How to overcome them?
I started out using this build almost exactly. Last night I decided, let's try it with corpse explosion and grasp of essence. It's not as strong against rift guardians, but clears out trash super fast. Overall probably not as strong, but still fun for a little change of pace.
The cold run on corpse explosion procs ancient parthan defenders like mad. Give it a try!
Tonight I plan on switching grasp of essence back to aquila, and then (gasp) switching out decrepify for corpse lance. I'm hoping I'll have enough curse power through the corroded fang, plus plenty of trash and single target damage from both corpse skills. I may end up needing a defensive gem with this setup.
Hmmmmm, not too sure of the purpose of this build. It is an EXACT copy of the bone storm build with the exception of the aguila cuirass replacing the Corpsewhisper Pauldrons. What is the point of this, yes it will be more tanky, but it lacks the DPS to kill anything in the higher GR's. Sorry for the negativity, I just hate it when people rip off an exact copy, make one change (for the worse), and then call it their own without any recognition to the original creator of the build.
