Build Guide

Introduction

I played this build on the PTR so everything is subject to change.

I tested it with 5 ancient pieces (1 weapon and 4 armor pieces), 900 paragons, lvl 60 gems, no caldesann and only in solo T13 rifts.

I prefer this build to the LTK one because I think it is equally powerful, maybe a little slower, but so easy to play.

Gear

Tzo krin's gaze : requierd because it allows to cast wave of light on ennemies but also because it gives a big damage bonus to it

5 pieces of Sunwuko : The set received a strong buff in 2.6.1

Shoulders : DEX, VIT, ALL RES, AREA DAMAGE

Amulet : FIRE%, CHD, CHC : Go for DEX if you don't have a FIRE% one

Torso : DEX, VIT, LIFE% : Maybe damage reduction against Elites if you need

Hands : DEX, CHD, CHC, AREA DAMAGE : Go for VIT instead of AD if you don't have good gloves

Legs : DEX, VIT, ALL RES : Go for ARMOR instead of ALL RES if you don't find a good piece

Pinto's pride : Good damage bonus for WoL, it also allows your Bane of the Trapped to proc

You can keep nemesis in your inventory and switch when you need to activate a pylon

Crudest boots : Good spirit provider with Air Ally

Kyoshiro's Soul : Allows your Sweeping wind to be completely independant ! You can now focus on WoL spamming !

(Could maybe be removed for Witching hour but leave alone with my lazy build)

Unity : Can be removed for a good SoJ but with unity you will just never die

Avarice band : Very good with BotH, allows to walk faster but also get the globes from elites pretty easily

(These rings can be switched to the cube if you have a good RoRG)

Kyoshiro's blade : Huge damage bonus to WoL

Vengeful wind : +7 Sweeping wind charges = 7*600 = 4200% damage on WoL thanks to the 6 pieces Sunwuko bonus.

Very important to get +7 and not +6 Sweeping wind charges, to finally have 10 charges (6000% dmg bonus on WoL)

Gems : EMERALD on everything except on the helmet where I have a TOPAZ for RCR

Cube : Incense Torch of the Grand Temple : Insane damage multiplier and RCR for WoL

Goldwrap : +BotH = over 9000 ARMOR = You can't die

Ring of Royal Grandeur : To get the 6 pieces bonus of Sunwuko

Spells

Mystic Ally - Air Ally : With the crudest boots it increases you spirit regeneration by 8/s, I never have to activate it

Mantra of Conviction - Anihilation : For the move speed

Wave of Light - Explosive light : Huge AoE damages killing everything on your screen

Dashing Strike - Way of the Falling Star : Not as efficient as it could be with In-geom but it gives moves speed and can pass walls

Breath of Heaven - Zephyr : MOAR MOVE SPEED, you can use the num-lock trick to auto-cast it since it doesn't cost spirit

Sweeping Wind - Inner Storm : Spirit generator and incidentally the core of our build

Fleet footed : You said move speed ?

Momentum : Constant +20% damage

Exalted Soul : Spirit generator

Harmony : Just in case

Gameplay

Easy and efficient :

- Cast Swipping Wind before you enter the rift and num-lock trick the Breath of the Heaven if you want to

- Then press A/Q/1 to win (depending where you bind your WoL of course)

- Kill everything, build up speed with gold, Dashing strike and your ennemies

- Switch to nemesis for pylons

And that's it I think ! Told you : Easy and efficient !

Good luck in sanctuary and enjoy the game !
