This build is spec'd around Globe spam either from Support Globe Barb or a LoN Crusader with Law of Hope, without either of these specs you will have to swap out Reapers Wraps which can be a huge damage loss overall. The build focuses on spamming as much Energy Twisters (ET) in between casting Slow Time and Primary skill

Build Guide

WORK IN PROGRESS
I will update the item slots above once the new items are added into the database

Gems

  • Bane of the Stricken- For RG.
  • Bane of the Trapped - Self buff, slow works well since you're constantly in melee range.
  • Pain Enhancer - Good for faster attack speed.
  • Amethyst in Helm, Topaz in Chest/Legs, Emerald in Weapon

Cube

  • Weapon - The Furnace - Elite damage
  • Armor - Ancient Parthan Defenders - Damage reduction
  • Jewelry - Halo of Arlyse - Damage reduction

Itemization

  • Helm - Shrouded Mask - INT, CC, ET%, OS (Amethyst)
  • Shoulder - Dashing Pauldron's of Despair - INT, VIT, Armor, AD%
  • Hand - Fierce Gauntlets - INT, VIT, CC, CHD
  • Chest - Harness of Truth - INT, VIT, Life%, 3OS (Topaz)
  • Legs - Leg Guards of Mystery - INT, VIT, AR/Armor, 2OS (Topaz)
  • Feet - Striders of Destiny - INT, VIT, AR/Armor, ET%
    • Belt - Shame of Delsere - INT, VIT, AR/Armor, Life%
  • Bracer - Reapers Wrap's - Arcane%, INT, VIT, CC
  • Amulet - Traveler's Pledge - Arcane%, CC, CHD
  • Ring 1 - Compass Rose - INT, VIT, CC, CHD, OS
  • Ring 2 - Convention of Elements - CC, CHD, Avg Dmg/AD%, OS
  • Weapon - Twisted Sword - Dmg%, INT, VIT, OS (Emerald)
  • Off Hand - Orb of Infinite Depth - INT, VIT, CC, APoC

Alternate Options

  • Why not Spectral Blades?
    • You can go SB (Barrier Blades) but Piercing Orb (PO) has a longer reach which easier to get PE stacks. Also keeps you on the edge of the action, not right in the middle
    • If you go SB (Barrier Blades), you can use Ashnagarr's Blood Bracers in cube and MW (Deflection) for even more toughness - This is more suited for a solo build and much less damage. I will probably write another guide for that later.
  • Why not Magic Weapon?
    • Orb of Infinite Depth is easily the better option, think of it like getting MW Deflection + Force Weapon in 1 item.
  • UW or Blur?
    • This somewhat depends. I expect most top clears to include at least 1 support Barbarian or some type of support class with lots of damage reduction. If this is the case, adding Blur will not give you a straight 17% damage reduction instead it will be closer to 5-7% as it diminishes the more you have. Instead, its better off getting more damage, Armor & AR while you're standing which will be most of the time when casting.
    • If you have 2 supports, I would recommend dropping UW/Blur for Glass Cannon.


This rift clear was very bad, terrible mobs, terrible map, terrible RG. I suspect this can do close to 90 if fishing properly.


I hope this is a good starter guide for everyone, will try to upload a video if I get the chance.

Feel free to ask questions.
