2-3 minute Rifts! Fast paced, fun. Really easy put together gear. Click the video below and upvote if you like the build. Thank you!

  • Affixes
  • Orange are required. Yellow are preferred. Green are the easiest to exchange or make due without.
  • Secondary resists are preferred on items. In general, shoot for at least 450k life, 400% CHD, 50% CHC, and 90% AD.

  • Head: Socket / Meteor% / INT / CHC
  • Shoulders: CDR / EB% / Int / AD
  • Amulet: Socket / CHD / CHC / Fire%
  • Chest: 3 Sockets / INT / VIT / Armor+ or Elite%Red
  • Wrist: Fire% / CHC / INT / VIT
  • Gloves: CDR / CHC / INT / CHD
  • Waist: INT / VIT / Life% / Armor+ or LPS
  • Legs: INT / 2 Sockets / VIT / Armor+
  • Boots: Meteor% / INT / VIT / Armor+ or %Movement
  • Ring1: Socket / CDR / CHD / CHC
  • Ring2: Socket / CDR / CHD / CHC
  • Weapon: Socket (Gifted) / CDR / INT / +%Dmg or AD
  • Offhand: CDR / CHC / INT / AD

  • CDR
  • With CDR listed, you will have 66.3% CDR. This allows for a 2s CD on EB, 4s CD on Black Hole, and 3.69s CD on Teleport.
  • Quicker casts = more Tal Rasha uptime, more damage, and increased CC / survival.

  • Area Damage
  • You'll want at least 2 affixes dedicated to area damage. With paragon, this will give you at least 90% AD.
  • For a bit more info on area damage, see this video. Chain Reaction's fast attack allows AD to proc fairly often.


  • Legendary Gems
  • Pain Enhancer- Bleed is nice for speedy setup. Damage wise I found it to be about equal in power to Bane of the Trapped. So this can be swapped if you prefer. Procs off of Wreath of Lightning.
  • Wreath of Lightning - Mini-conduit that deals instant damage to all enemies around you when procced. The run speed seals the deal on this one.
  • Boon of the Hoarder - Provides the gold needed to gain defense via Goldwrap.

  • Other
  • May have to assign Inspire and RCR paragon, but should not have any problems with AP regen.

Build Guide

Purpose
  • Farm T7-T8 for death's breath or bounties. Shock Trooper boasts high mobility, ease of dealing out damage, and of course, mini conduit.
  • Easy to gear up to ancient, since you can craft your weapon, and many other pieces as well.
  • Super fun to play! You don't have to think about teleporting around like you would with In-Geom.
Strategy
Passives
Configuration
  • Use Teleport on left click to easily direct your character without activating force move. Use (force stand + teleport) to activate Teleport.
  • Use the num lock method on Explosive Blast. While the casting is not perfect (I notice ~.3s gap between blasts), it is better than I do in rotation.
