Build Guide

Updated 09/18/2015

Hello,

This build has been fine-tuned for GRIFT Experience speed farming.

Use a RED GEM in your helmet, use purple gems in your weapons.

As always stat priorities are from left > right

If having problems surviving, run estoeric over Toxin if there is no Iceblink in the group, Toxin if there is Iceblink in the group.

Both pride of cassius or chilanik in cube is fine, most times you will find a 6 second pride more often than a 40% chilanik's.

ThunderFury is a very solid option for cube as well instead of vigilance if your having problems finding one.

Hellfire Amulet for 5th passive is highly recommended, 5th passive of choice is Superstition.

Refer to Video for in-depth guide for tips on maximizing your performance as a support barb.
