Krysbin's Sentence

This is a Rathma's Starter build for beginning of the season. There are many variations which I will be uploading for peoples preference.
When Dealing with Rings there are several combinations that work early game in case you are missing the ideal rings Krysbins/Julians Love
Any Generator Can be used at users preference.

Ring Combos include:
Focus/Restraint Cube: Julians/Krysbins/CoE
CoE/Julians Cube: Krybins/Avarice
CoE/Krysbins Cube: Julians/Avarice
Julians/Krysbin Cube: Avarice/CoE

The concept behind this build again is for starting with minimal Maximized gear. Your ideal amulet would be Hellfire but any amulet can suffice as a place holder till you are fully geared or achieve better builds such as bloodmage/trags set.
