Build Guide

Custom build meant for farming medium level rifts for legendaries and set items for actual pushing builds. With the items listed, it can fairly easily clear a G45 within minutes, which is more than enough for grinding a few important gems to 25 in a relatively short time. This is by no means a build designed for anything but early seasonal farming to acquire gear for real progression builds, such as Inarius's or Pestilence sets.

I am not creative nor smart enough to be anywhere near decent at theorycrafting, but this build was more than capable of getting me the entire recommended set for Inarius Command Skeletons fairly quickly.
