SKILLS ( Changed and removed)
SKILLS PART 2 - WW rune can be shifted from Wind Shear to Blood Funnel when pushing GR levels.
SKILLS PART 3 - Rune on Battle Cry shifted from Bloodshed to Marauder's Rage.
This build was tested with 0 paragon, 800 paragon and my entire 2,957 placed. On the topic of item quality we did have some ancients and a primal weapon. One weapon also had a level 65 augment on it for Strength.
With that out of the way, this build will shred with or without the Lamentation belt. Without the Lamentation belt I was able to put this through a 90 GR with 0 paragon placed. Made some attempts at a 95 but had to put the paragon fully in for it to feel comfortable.
YouTube video incoming before the season starts. I hope you all enjoy and feel free to stop into the stream and say hello while the season is smashing.
UPDATED on 11-21-2019 prior to season starts with changes to runes and skills as well as passives.
UPDATED on 11-23-2019 post season start with a change to Battle Cry rune.
UPDATED on 11-25-2019 post season start with a fix to an overlook in the ITEM section. Flavor of Time with recommended Lightning is now changed to Flavor of Time with recommended Physical.
UPDATED 11-26-2019 post season start with a fix to a CDR issue with removal of Boon of Bul-Kathos at 56% CDR. I was incorrect and updated the passives to show what I am now using currently during my gameplay.
UPDATED 12-10-2019 Slapped a YouTube video on that bad boy.

I greatly appreciate you upgrading the guide as you go.
You are very welcome. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask!
Definitely will, I’ll be sure to stop by your stream too
Why do we use lightning dmg here? Isnt bleed with blood bath the primary damage source which is phyiscal?
It's because I missed an update. I moved the gear stats to Physical but overlooked that I had wrote down you needed lightning. I'll make that adjustment now. Thank you for pointing it out!
How do you think a variant of this by swapping in Endless Walk, dropping Band of Might and picking up War Cry would fare? You lose out on double shrine time, sort of make up for the defensive losses with 50% from EW and your War Cry rune, but you also never have to cast Furious Charge or use up Zodiac procs on recharging Furious Charge. More mindless so you can watch movies while you GR, but maybe you lose too much time from the shrines or have to drop down some GRs because of toughness issues?
I've only started my season progress, or I'd test it myself. Haven't even found a Zodiac after 300 paragon!
I'd say once your paragon gets a bit higher up that you could test that out. The only issue I can see is that you are eating up a ring and neck slot for 50% damage reduction when you include endless over just losing a ring slot for 80% damage reduction and have to cast charge sometimes. The build is so strong though, that a change like that might not hurt it too much. I've also been able to crunch T16 without the lamentation belt, so who knows how open it really is for change. Thank you for checking it out by the way! (side note, I didn't get Zodiac until almost 500 para on both EU and NA)
why bane of the trapped? where do you get the control-impairing effect from?
oh nvm it's the gem itself.
what defensive gem do you suggest for solo GR pushing?
Esoteric is a good defensive gem but you will probably want more of a dps gem insteaf
My first posting on any forum here so please be patient, but regarding the choice of skills selected.. Why have Rend take up a space? Is there ever a time where you just use Rend by itself? The benefit of Ambo's Pride is that it automatically applies Rend whether you have it selected as a skill or not, correct? At least that's what it seems to be when I've tested it. Why not use Furious Charge in the left mouse button and free up another space for another passive skill, like Battle Rage for increased damage?
To clarify, i've tried GR85+ without having Rend selected as any skill and it seems to function just fine.
It's an inferior build for speed GRs everyone seems to use.
I really dunno why.
Better option is to get rid of Bul Kathos and use Ambos Pride + EF, Messerschmidts in the cube.
get rid of Crimson, Oculus and RoRG for Focus / Restraint and Mantle of Channeling in the Cube.
Easy change, alot more dmg and absolutely no downside.
It's designed to be a chill build you can use for Nephs, GR's and bounties. Thus the name "Every Day". Builds like this are meant to be a framework that the player can build upon and grow out of eventually. At paragon 1.6k I still use this simply because it works for what I want it to do.
Death happens to the best of us...its how we get up and WW again that defines us!!
Death builds character, again and again and again and again and...
Using wind shear rune when you have bul-kathos equipped is completely pointless. You gain 15 extra fury from the weapons and WW only costs 10 fury meaning you gain a net of 5 fury assuming you use WW at all times but you don't bc you stop WW to charge, and use town portal. My suggestion is to use a different rune for WW and there are 2 options there. 1st you could use blood funnel rune giving you more survivability and giving you slightly more dps bc its physical. 2nd you could use the hurricane rune which is cold damage but pulls mobs toward you. Both are good viable options but I personally prefer to go with blood funnel for survivability. Also, element % damage gives more dps than crit damage and should be on the stat priority for the amulet. Ideally, you would want to get rid of move speed on your amulet (also on any other gear that you have it on). The reason for that is you can max move speed out in your paragon stats to get to the cap and if you max it there + have more on gear you are wasting stats.
