Manald Heal

NEW Class Set: The Typhon's Veil doesn't boost manald heal damage.

Ideally

1. Find elite

2. Place hydras

3. Teleport next screen

4. ~~Stand still~~ Endless Walk set is gone

5. Wait killed message

6. Get bubbles and Repeat

Attack speed is very important.

Other two skills are on there only for full Tal Rasha damage bonus. If you want use numpad autocast.

Remember to stay away from the elites to maximize manald heal damage. Ideally lure normal enemies away from the elites. Hydra's damage isn't important. Skip normal monsters but place hydras still to gain free progress.

Sadly during S20 there isn't so many items you can use with season theme.

I pretty much tested everything but if you find improvements please tell me.

Topazes to chest and legs sockets. Amethyst to head socket. Check paragon for gear stat priorities.

Attack speed is still issue with this build. (look below) Echoing Fury solves it on low GR levels but enemies doesn't die so quickly in higher GRs. Patch 2.6.8 buffs doesn't effect to Manald heal damage. so eg. The Magistrate useless but maybe it is good for trash killer for Echoing Fury. Also hydra dmg with new buffs might be much better anyway but that is already quite different build then. Two pieces of new set can be useful though. 4 heads more to proc manald heal.

Sadly attack speed doesn't scale up and this build isn't effective on higher greater rifts. (Manald procs same amount in every GR) I try to solve this in future. Pain Enhancer is one good solution with Halo of arlyse and Ancient Parthan Defenders. You lose zei's stone on vengeance and maybe also want to change to furnace and close dmg passive skill. You have to change magic weapon to skill that can proc cold Tal Rasha damage bonus because frozen mist doesn't stun. That is already quite different build then and it starts to look like my other manald build:
