Build Guide

No idea if this works. It just seemed like a fun way to utilize the Uliana 6 piece bonus. I'm also still figuring things out, so this build will be changing pretty regularly.

Also, for clarity's sake, I'm trying to emphasize CDR to get Seven-Sided Strike as close to a 0 second cooldown as possible, and to build spirit from alternate sources so that I don't have to use a generator. I realize that this approach will diminish DPS considerably, making this build less than viable for high rift farming... but I am doing it just for fun, so there is that. Hopefully with time I will be able to find the right balance between CDR, spirit gen, and DPS that lets me achieve my primary goal while still doing reasonable damage.

I'm still sort of figuring things out, but that's very helpful information. For now I've replaced Kekegi's Unbreakable Spirit with Leoric's Crown. Still doing research on what the best CDR items are, or even how to properly calculate all of this together and when (if) it becomes too much CDR.

Yeah, for sure. We need ppl. who figure out new things. I'm testing different things too. For me it feels right between 50-60% CDR. More than 60% is only useful for a few builds i guess.
