Build Guide
Introduction
This build utilizes the 6 Piece Tal and 4 Piece Vyr Sets. With the usual items used in Archon builds (Fazula, The Swami) you also get the benefit from the powerful Twisted Sword. When lining up mass Twisters (got alot attackspeed due to Vyrs 4 Piece) and popping Archon for double Archon stacks AND arcane CoE proc the damge of the Twisters in those few seconds are just stupidly INSANE.
You need the proper items and gameplay to even make this build work. The playstyle is very unique to other builds. You just aim to blow everything up every 32 seconds (2 entire CoE cycles) with your boosted twisters.
Gameplay
This needs alot of practise to do well, you will get better with experience. You need to focus your playstyle on doing damage for the first 4-8 seconds after activating archon.
- when starting the grift immediately pop archon at the beginning of lighning CoE cycle (make sure to buff yourself with Magic Weapon + Ice Armor before)
- create density with archon with your beam and your teleport
- when archon expires get your Tal and EB stacks up (1 twister cast + spam EB)
- cast your primary attack to buff yourself with MW: Deflection shields and create some more density with it
- if necessary position yourself to prepare for stacking twisters (only necessary for some elites and the Guardian)
- spam your twisters around the beginning of the lightning CoE cycle
- blow everything up activating archon just when the arcane CoE shows up (can kill some low mobs with 4 tal stacks and cold CoE with your archon abilities)
- rince and repeat
Build variations
- Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac instead of Halo of Arlyse. This way you can go Arcane Archon (go full arcane% on gear) and free up alot of CDR rolls on your gear for Area DMG. You just replace Ice Armor for Frozen Mist to proc cold and replace your lightning primary attack for Arcane Torrent - Static Discharge to reset your cooldown of Archon at the Rift Guardian.
You then change your 3rd gem from Gogok to Pain Enhancer.

for some reason my own build got deleted. a missclick? not even got a warning...sorry for that.
So I made this new one.
Just made this build, my gear is rather noobish. But i survived in gr70 group so far. I enjoy the build very much so far.
Thanks for this!
Thanks for this!
I was wondering why did you pick cold archon or is it just to proc tals? Can you pick any element as long as you get 4 Tal stacks?
your highest element defines your archon (i could as well pick no rune on archon. it still would be cold when my highest element is cold%)
in theory you can pick any rune on archon. it simply wont matter since you get all anyway (2 piece vyr = all runes)
