This build is based on the new Unhallowed Essence Set from 2.2, as well as the bastion's will ring set (focus+restraint)

The offhand (quiver) will be the Meticulous bolts quiver which sadly isn't available for selection from the drop down list on offhands. This in combination with Kridershot will allow your elemental arrow (Ball lightning) to do insane damage just like the previous slowball builds from 2.1.

You'll want max discipline on the items you can get it on ( weapon / quiver / chestpiece ). Other than that, cooldown reduction is useful as well. Toughness isn't really necessary for high GR's, so area damage where available is also an option.

Build Guide

This is one variation of the Kridershot slow-ball builds. It's mostly based on the idea of using your templar for the slow, fishing for rifts with slow mobs in high densities and using as many buffs as you can to increase your damage.

Must have items on templar = Bulkathos wedding band + Intimidation skill.

Will add more written details later, but everything is explained in the video.
