Convention of Elements

- Build should have at least around 18 Spirit regen / sec and 18% Spirit cost reduction, so it will never low spirit beyond 95% (Aquilas Cuirass` proc).

It can be achieved by enchanting the weapon and Spirit Stone, along with Mystic Ally (air) + Crudest boots. + Chant of Ressonance.

Keep Epiphany on ALL TIME. Use templar as follower (+10% spirit regen)

- Attack Speed should not surpass 10%, because it will spend more spirit than you will regen.

- Fifth passive should be Momentum. For Softcore players, you can replace NDE with Unity or Purpose.

Swap Bane of Powerfull for Stricken if you are having a difficult time with killing monsters fast.

Done it EASYLY with around 600 paragons, level 50 gems and a couple of ancient items (prefereable weapon).

Build Guide

- Keep Epiphany up 100% time (zodiac + CDR) when fighting monsters.

- Rush into mobs and keep channeling all time, so Taeguk will never expire.

- When you meet a large pack, stay inside the blinding circle (belt on cube proc), so your damage will ramp up by a lot.

- Fighting elites, try to sync your Tempest Rush explosion with Cold CoE proc. It will burst through elite's life and bosses. Do it while still channeling, don't need to release the mouse button, just press "Blinding Flash" and it will release explosion AND proc more damage because of blinding flash (bracer).

I've completed the rift on the 1st try with this build and had 4 minutes left.

Conduit is your best friend inside the rift.

Hope you like the build and the very easy conquest.

Enjoy.
