Build Guide

In my opinion/experience this build is the fastest, most consistent, and smoothest playing DH build for Torment Rifts, although it is quite demanding on the gear and progression level.

Note: I always keep my diablo fans guides updated and current. I will make adjustments to the guide whenever there is a shift in meta! So be sure to check back from time to time and don't forget to up-vote the guide! please and thanks!

alternatives;

if you have hatred issues, you can use the cindercoat over the beckon sail and the tenclip over the calamity, this will allow you to run fire strafe rune rocket storm while keeping max movement speed and benifit from the resource cost reduction from cindercoat on both of your hatred spenders. (on hardcore this will require you pickup awareness!)

because the build is meant for solo t10, lately in average 4 player groups I have been using harrington's waistguard for the extra damage on clickables

if you need more movement speed you can use krelms belt

if you need more damage you can use cull the weak over hot pursuit.

when I am using gloves of worship and get an empowered shrine I usually swap focused mind for shadow glide or shuriken cloud

power leveling gem setup (GR 45-60)

for fast gem ups you can use this build with great effect up to about GR 60 with very few changes;

swap gloves of worship to magefist

consider using cull the weak over hot pursuit.

consider using wraps of clarity and a generator for the toughness boost over preparation focused mind.

consider dropping powerful for taeguk
