Offhand
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.
Why wouldnt you use dead mans legacy?
Because Meticulous bolts makes your ball lightning travel at a slower speed, which means it ticks on the mobs more often hence doing more damage. Also, your ball lightning is going to be your main damage, and Multishot is only used to proc your F&R rings buff so the double damage from DML is useless.
This build falls apart completely and is worthless with out meticulous bolts.
Becouse Focus + Restraint have a lot of more damage, the damage from manald is additive, while the bonus from ring set is multiplicative
This build has something wrong:
1. You don't have cold damage, how do you make effective the Cull of the Weak? 1 passive wasted
2. F+R bonus works like: 1 you use a primary skill and get 50% bonus for a secondary skill, and viceversa. But.... you don't have any primary skill, you never activate the 50% bonus for secondary skills, which you have in all your skill slots. Also, everytime you use a skill, you activates the 50% bonus for a primary skill that you never use cause u don't have one. Krinder bow make the elemental arrow to work like a primary skill restoring your hatetress with the subsequent damage increase, but still is a secondary.
I tested yesterday, the second ring effect never show up. Only the bonus for the primary skill, wich i never use.
What offhand are you recommending? You have nothing listed in the gear section.
The offhand is Meticulous Bolts for the slowed movement on the EA: Ball Lightning. Slower movement=multiple hits per target, larger targets I've gotten as many as 5 hits off before it left their hitbox. Alternate question, does Taeguk work with Kridershot, or would it be wasted?
Nice Build.
@ Tevaram
because 10 x +15% skilldmg are 150% skilldmg only (360% + 150% = 510%), talking about MS for example, and either focus or restraint increase your overall dmg by 50% (which is +180% skilldmg, the base of MS is 360% + 180% = 540%, which is 30% more (12 instead of 10 dici) than manald heal could ever deliver. but then, what about the 2nd ring? stone of jordan (additive dmg) is worse than either focus/restraint, and convention of elements is evenworse than SOJ. so the best rings are focus&restraint if you wanna deal max possible dmg. PS: why push your primary skill dmg if you dont use that skill for anything else but hate regen? depth diggers are useless..
