Build Guide

This is a variation on "So you need Death's Breaths" build by JesseClaytonJames here on diablofans.com. I took his version and converted it to a dual generator build. The major difference is having to apply EP manually to proc the spender half of Focus and Restraint. If survivability is an issue you can use Spirit Guards instead of Nemesis bracers. Desert Shroud is used sparingly since you don't have a lot of CDR in the build. Uliana's 2 piece should be applying The Flesh is Weak for a damage buff and Blinding Flash should give a nice boost to your spirit to keep Shenlong's near max spirit and give another damage buff. When In-Geom is procced you should be able to get around the map easily to find a shrine or elite and keep repeating the process. This build is best at T7 - T10, depending on your gear and gems. If your gear is lacking then you can bring the difficulty down to where you can blaze through the rift. The goal is speed killing of elites and champions. The Enchantress will be a good follower for solo since she gives you an attack speed buff which helps keep your spirit near max. This build is easly used in Season since it requires no season exclusive gear.
