Build Guide

The damage over time from fire wall is stacking with itself! As well as the DoT from acid cloud. So, you want to stack your DoT's when you can. Unfortunately, when you stack DoT's on the PTR right now, the game lags horribly, so I wasn't doing it a lot for my 60+ attempts.

This is just a reference for now, will update the build later.

Suwong Diviner for the weapon slot.

Jerams bracers for the wrist slot.

5 passive is swampland attunement.

Quote from Thoreich

Hey Jmacc, first of all I appreciate your testing for the WD very, very much! Thanks for that.

I have one question left concerning your build: As you´re already using the Belt of Transcendence, wouldn´t it be a viable Option to go for a cubed SMK over the Furnace? As the DOT of Slow Burn is stacking I feel it would be amazing to use BBV-Raindance (infinite mana) for an endless AC-spam. Or otherwise just go with Slamdance. It just came to my mind as with the new Shorter RG-fights the worthiness of furnace has diminished anyway and having a constant BBV at your side might outperform it. I´d really like to hear your thoughts on that

Keep going!

It's absolutely an option, I just like the mobility of the furnace.

I had really only considered slam dance. The Rain dance idea is great, I'll give that a shot later on.

Iceblink gem better then the new Bane of the stricken gem for this build? I think it might be nice (If the lag issues with this build get solved).
