Build Guide

This is a Vyrs speed group build for Season 16 using both Manalds and Chantodos bonuses.

Vyrs can get anywhere from 50 to 300+ stacks. With the new buff in 2.6.4, this means you get 100% damage bonus for each archon stack and possibly up to over 30,000% damage bonus or more.

Here is where the damage comes from.

Vyrs set bonus : 50-300+ archon stacks = 5,000 to 30,000+ damage bonus or more.

Chantodos : 20,000 aoe weapon damage every second during archon

Manald Heal: 14,000 weapon damage on proc on paralysis targets.

Archon Stacks

To achieve maximum 200-300+ stacks, you must overlap your archon. The swarmi allows you to keep your archon stacks for 20 seconds and once archon ends, you want to get back into archon as fast as possible. To do this, you want to cast AT:SD on mobs for zodiac procs and you should get cdr in every slot other than ammy to lower archon CD. You also get a stack for every attack that lands and from kills during archon.

Chantodos set

You get 1 stack per attack that lands. Try to get 20 stacks by using AT:SD and deep freeze before entering archon for maximum damage and crit bonus. If you are about to die and you are close to 20 stacks, I would pop archon anyway for the defense bonus to survive.

Manald Heal

Deals 14000% damage on proc on enemies stunned by paralysis. You proc the paralysis stun and the mandald damage by spaming AT:SD outside of archron and while in archon, you spam arcane blast and disintegration wave.

Paralysis is a static 15% chance to stun. Chance is NOT multiplied by skill proc coefficients.

MH can only proc on targets that have had paralysis applied to them.
MH can deal damage multiple times per Paralysis proc, assuming the player is channeling or continually attacking the target.
MH damage is applied even when Paralysis stun effect is ignored due to CC resistance ramp.
MH likely has no ICD in place.
AT:SD can proc Manald in sets of two at the same time, on the same target.

MW:Electrify does not proc Manald.

Gear

Get as much cdr on gear as possible minus ammy.

Make sure your highest element damage on gear is lightning so your archon deals lighting damage and can proc paralysis/manald.

Wear the swarmi hat so you can roll AP on crit if needed. ( also can roll apoc on offhand if needed)

Use cdr gem in helm.

Put Intelligence gems on all gear pieces.

Defenses

This build is very, very squishy and I built it to maximize damage. To get more defense, you can try these changes as needed.

1. Change magic weapon to the deflection rune.

2. Change leoric crown in cube to Aquillas.

3. Change storm armor to energy armor: force rune. (note storm armor has a low chance of procing manald so its not too big of a deal)

4. Change compass rose and pledge to halo of karini + hellfire ammy.

Gameplay

This is designed for group play using a zmonk and zbarb

• Keep armor and magic weapon up.
• Follow your monk at all times. Keep inside and hug your monk's inner sanc to stay alive. Teleport out to avoid dangerous affix or jump into occlus circles as needed.
• Keep deep freeze up to stun mobs to get the damage reduction bonus from APD and get the 10% crit buff.
• Spam AT:SD + deep freeze outside archon to get 20 chantodos atacks.
• Attack and kill as much as possible during archon to gain stacks.
• Try to stay at max range if possible
• Spam Arcane blast + disintegration Wave during archon. Use time stop once. ( the left click hulk smash does slighly more damage than disintegration Wave but it has a short range)
• Use AT:SD to reset cooldown on Archon using zodiac and cast archon again to overlap your stacks within the swami 20 second window.
• If IP falls off, kindly ask barb to cast it.
