SUMMARY:

This is a fun Tal Rasha Meteor variation that uses 3x channeling skills to maintain Tal Rasha stacks while raining down continuous meteor armageddon on everything within range. Tal/Teaguk Stacks super easy to maintain, Arcane Power never drops, and you are always attacking while no need to cast Meteor manually.

Speed variation uses Aether Walker for constant mobility and Nemesis Bracers for faster progression/more elite spawns.

GR Push variation uses Deathwish for its channeling damage and Aquila Cuirass for more toughness.

GEAR:

ARMOR+AMULET - 5-piece Tal Rasha set 4-element centric dmg reduction + dmg boost

JEWELRY - CoE (rotating elemental dmg boost) + Halo of Karini (Storm Armor dmg reduction) + RoRG (to complete Tal's 6-Piece )

BRACER - Ashnagarr's Blood Bracers (dmg reduction boost to shields)

BELT - Hergbrash's Binding (RCR Arcane Torrent / Ray of Frost / Disintegrate channeling)

WEAPON(Speed Variation) - Aether Walker (almost unlimited Teleport)

WEAPON(GR Push Variation) - Deathwish (channeling dmg boost)

Off-HAND - Etched Sigil (dmg boost to channeling skills + free cast of Meteor)

CUBE WEAPON: The Grand Vizier (Meteor dmg boost)

CUBE ARMOR(Speed Variation) - Nemesis Bracers (spawn extra elites for progression)

CUBE ARMOR(Push Variation) - Aquila Cuirass (extra dmg reduction when at near full Arcane Power)

CUBE JEWELRY - Ring of Royal Grandeur (needed to complete Tals 6-piece set)

SKILLS:

Arcane Torrent Static Discharge (Tal Rasha #1 element = channeling lightning dmg + Taeguk+Zei's dmg + free dmg+Meteor spam via Etched Sigil)

Disintegrate Convergence (Tal Rasha #2 element = channeling fire dmg+ Taeguk+Zei's dmg + free dmg+Meteor spam via Etched Sigil)

Ray of Frost Snow Blast (Tal Rasha #3 element = extra channeling cold dmg+ Taeguk+Zei's dmg + free dmg+Meteor spam via Etched Sigil)

Storm Armor Power of the Storm (Dmg reduction via Karini ring)

Teleport Calamity (Tal Rasha #4 element = mobility + stun on landing + BotT dmg)

Meteor Meteor Shower (primary dmg dealer boosted by Tal 6-piece + Nilfers Boost + The Grand Vizier +Zei's+BotT dmg)

PASSIVES:

Blur - Dmg reduction or Unstable Anomaly (extra life)

Unraveling Will - Armor, AR, dmg boost standing still

Power Hungry - Dmg boost for enemies 30+ yrds away + Zei's dmg

Galvanizing Ward - Dmg reduction boosted by Ashngarr's Blood Bracers

GEMS:

BotT - dmg boost from CC slow/freeze/stun

Taeguk - dmg boost from channeling Disintegrate

Zei's - dmg boost based on max distance from target (match with Frozen Orb distance explosion)

Helm - Amethyst(Life); Chest/Pants - Topaz (Primary Stat) or Ruby (Armor) or Diamond (AR) as needed

PLAY-STYLE:

Tal Rasha additional element Lightning = Storm Armor to maintain dmg reduction via Karini ring.

Tal Rasha #1 element Arcane = Teleport around to find crowds and density

Tal Rasha #2 element Lighting = Arcane Torrent into crowds to generate free Meteors - USE to shoot over walls.

Tal Rasha #3 element Fire = Disintegrate into crowds to generate more Meteors - USE to pierce through groups

Tal Rasha #4 element Cold = Ray of Frost into crowds to generate more Meteors - USE to focus on Elites/Minions

Rinse repeat to maintain/refresh Tal Rasha 4-element dmg boost / dmg reduction at all times and refresh Storm Armor

ALTERNATIVES:

Speed variation uses Aether Walker for constant mobility and Nemesis Bracers for faster progression/more elite spawns.

GR Push variation uses Deathwish for its channeling damage and Aquila Cuirass for more toughness.

Blur Passive can be switched for Astral Pressence (more faster Arcane Power regen) or Audacity (close up dmg boost if you can survive)

ENERGY TWISTER VARIATION - Cube Twisted Sword / Ranslor's Folly bracers, swap Meteor with Energy Twister - Raging Storm, Roll Arcane dmg on bracers.

FROZEN ORB VARIATION - Equip Unstable Scepter, Cube Triumvirate, swap Disintegrate with a generator: Electrocute - Forked Lightning or Magic Missle - Conflagrate, swap Meteor with Arcane Orb - Frozen Orb, Roll Cold dmg on bracers. Be sure to hit generator 3x to proc Triumvirate dmg.

NOTES:

DMG REDUCTION from Tal Rasha set + Ashnagarr's Blood Bracers Shields + Mantle of Channeling channeling skills + Unraveling Will + Taeguk armor boost + Karini / Storm Armor shock + Blur (if used)

Channeling Skills also casts Meteor Shower every second like a storm via Etched Sigil (without casting Meteor manually can be done infinitely without running out of Arcane Power ! ) ... like a mini Archon

Area dmg is good for this build ... stack where ever possible

Stack Fire Elemental dmg where ever possible (e.g., amulet, bracers)

Equip best rolled items and cube the alternatives

Gear int rolls can be replaced as recommended (if higher paragon) only.
