Build Guide
Immune to damage within LoTD! Surviving with Pestilence has never been easier. Corpse Explosion Dead Cold combines with Brittle Lance for some amazing damage scaling. Great for solo GR speed clearing. 2-4m clear speed.
I've included a guide after the first rift clear, as well as an alternate version using FoT, for trying out when affixes are more perfected.
Tested v2.6.9.68722.

7/29/2020: Currently, I run the zodiac version of this build for spending XP pools, since this is the safer version of the build, and at -3 or -4 GR levels, it does quite nicely clear wise even still.
Otherwise, I’m running FoT as this item allows to push the limits of clear, and generally is a more interesting combination to play.
EDIT: 8/6/2020: video guide was redone to feature Zodiac now. Edited main listing as well. Made a few mistakes on the build and felt like remaking the video guide. Now with better flow, summarization of concepts, and of course, much shorter duration, featuring a more useful composition (now features Zodiac). Might encounter deja vu if you happened to watch the old guide (par for the course for me during the pandemic). Enjoy!
What are the stat priorities? What gems for the armor sockets?
