Legacy of Nightmares, Disintegrate


Other than the Etched Sigil, many items are able to be acquired through progression with minimal impact to fundamental play style.


All Skills are Arcane, so get some enchanting for Arcane Skill Damage


A choice of several amulets can be used depending on the Ancient item acquired

  • Moonlight Ward gives a great Arcane boost, and has synergy when using Teleport Calamity in to packs of monsters.
  • Dovu Energy Trap benefits the Stun for Teleport Calamity and the All Rune Slow Time from Crown of the Primus.

Core Cube Items

  • Two key weapons are Deathwish and Aether Walker, for use and Kanai's Cube Weapon Slot
  • Hergbrash's Binding and The Shame of Delsere
  • Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac helps for saturating the environment in Slow Time when channeling Disintegrate

Build Guide

Twisintegrate Wizard

Legacy of Nightmares


Highly Mobile with Crowd Control devastating arsenal


The build is centric for Console play and the skills are mapped accordingly:

  • LMB: Right Shoulder
  • RMB: Right Trigger
  • 1: A or "Cross"
  • 2: B or "Circle"
  • 3: X or "Square"
  • 4: Y or "Triangle"

This build focuses almost entirely of using Arcane Dynamo to unleash Disintegrate. Twister casting is almost never needed as the Etched Sigil will give you the two button lazy mode couch warrior build play style.


This will be what is required of controller use:

Hold down the Right Trigger and press button for Spectral Blade to interrupt the channeling to charge Arcane Dynamo.


Use Calamity for Escaping or jumping in to packs of monsters.


Acquiring Ransor's Folly allows for the following:

Left Trigger Targetting Disintegrate will allow for Twister to be cast at the tip of the beam, which is conveniently the same distance for teleporting.

  1. Use LT + RT to cast a Twister at a distant target
  2. Ransor's Folly will pull enemies in to the vortex
  3. Use the animation time of mobs being pulled in to the Twister to decide whether to Teleport in to them, charge Dynamo, cast Slow Time or Escape
  4. Double Tap RT to cast a dual twister Raging Storm

Use targeted Twisintegrate through doorways to clear blind areas.


When in difficult encounters, saturate the screen with overlapping Slow Time, as this Area of Effect is Godlike. Slow Time mitigates a barrage of projectiles, leapers and provides great cover for going in to blind areas or using it for escape.


I used this build late starting S19 last week and have attained Guardian with this build alone to GR80 in less than 7 days.

Greater Rift Push Variation

Pushing Greater Rifts substitutes mobility for extra damage and this is done with The Twisted Sword.

  • Teleport is now only used for escape
  • Disintegrate Double Tap will generate Twisters faster than full channel
  • Use Arcane Dynamo on Bosses, and
  • Use the Spawn In time for the Boss to Double Tap Twisters for the Main Fight Disintegrate

I just acquired the final Ancient for Legacy of Nightmares and the new video is my first run of GR 82 - and you can see it is done comfortably.
