Build Guide
Make sure you build up 4 stacks of Tal Rasha before you morph into archon.
I can see a lot of players are a bit lost with this build.
Please note that this is an advanced gameplay build, eventho in the end it looks fairly easy to use.
It is NOT optimal for solo play at any point, simply because Torments farming SOLO is completely not optimal.
When you lose stacks of Tal Rasha in archon, players in your group that are killing monsters are giving you a lot of archons stacks to help with the huge damage loss, that is one important factor with group play here.
You are supposed to kill between TWO to THREE elite packs within your 20 seconds of archon in order to maintain permanent archon form. Killing only 1 elite pack in archon is not optimal and will not allow you to farm efficiently.
Also, looting Death Breath is NOT recommended. Every half a second you lose in archon form might result in a very big dps loss (loss of 4 stacks of Tal Rasha) if you want to be efficient at looting Death Breath, go with 3p Sage set and some other spec where you will just leech and close rifts
My advice for farming :
Paragon 1-1000 : Torment XI
Paragon 1000-1500 : Torment XII
Paragon 1500+ with full enchants on gear : Torment XIII
Being efficient in Torment farming means sub 2 min runs. Adjust accordingly.
Hey, Blatty. Thanks for the build.
I have a question though: what's the purpose of having Boon of the Hoarder and Avarice Band in the build without Goldwrap? Is it truly just for gold farming???
I'm new to Diablo and I'm very interested in this Vyr/Tal Rasha build. I was wondering: from what I can see, there aren't 4 damage types for Tal Rasha stacks? Arcane Torrent is lightning, and Frost Nova is ice. Is Teleport's calamity arcane/fire? Thanks!
#Thundergod Gotcha. Thanks.
this was stronger than FB/archon farm in S6. It was probably the reason I got a ban from blizzard because I used it during the entire season for farming (uncommon clicking?!? --> lol) . Unfortunately it's so much weaker now. Still with optimized gear and few paragons t11-13 should be possible. No instant kills on everything but fast enough.
Pro tip:
select archon/combustion rune for free fire tal stack when entering archon form (little bug still alive!). You don't even need to stack fire% on gear.
You can even play around this "feature" while choosing your skills. Cold black hole over here
sick build fam
Hi All,
Maybe someone can explain this to me please, how does the Avarice Band help in Greater Rifts?
No gold drops in Greater rifts. What am i missing?
Thanks in advanced.
The build doesn't need the suvivability from Goldwrap. Having the Averice ring allows you to have a huge pick-up radius, which makes you pick up all of the progress orbs quicker. This build is meant to speed farm rifts; there's no time to be running around picking up orbs :-P
Is this build better than Firebird/Vyr's and/or WoH/Rasha? If so, can you explain where it excels in comparison?
teleport is arcan and when you morph into archon you get the 4th stack of fire : )
To address the "where is the 4th element" questions:
You'll have three stacks from teleport, frost nova, and arcane torrent. Your fire stack comes when you pop Archon, giving you four stacks. Before Archon falls off, recast any Archon spell to give you a single stack of Tal'Rasha fire. When you drop out of Archon, recast your three abilities. You now have all 4 stacks outside of Archon, and you can refresh the duration of the entire stack with any of your three spells (you don't need to rotate through all 4 spells once you have 4 stacks, any two elements will work).
This assumes that your Fire% is highest. If, for whatever reason, you have some other elemental damage as highest, you would need to adjust your spells accordingly.
Anyone who is having trouble with Archon not being the right element, make sure you have the Fire% on your braces and that Fire% is your highest elemental bonus. Archon defaults to Arcane or goes to your highest Elemental%.
The Swami, it says that underneath, creator obviously had trouble when trying to select the item.
FB Archon, if that's what you were referring to, is designed for grifting, this build is for speed-farming normal rifts.
Build isn't made for grifting, Blatty has a second build that is for grifting if that is what you're after.
I cant believe this build gets all these upvotes.
I got close to full ancient gear, and I'm clearing TXII at best in a 4 man group.
Survivabilty is lousy, and damage output is low. When going into Archon, using combustion is the only time your gonna get some decent dps,
The 7 seconds remaining from your buff is just utter useless.
Sure, for solo, this is OK.
Noway this build is clearing TXIII in decent pace.
I feel im dying easy in high grifts, what should I do? Is it anything I could modify? Thanks for tips!
Great build btw
I agree. I'm paragon 730+ seasonal with this build and it's garbage. I have almost 60%CDR and am 40 away from max CHD. I tried the black hole absolute zero variant as well and it still sucks. I can kill in T13 with double stacks and Rasha buff, but it goes away too quickly to be consistent. I don't recommend this to anyone who isn't high paragon and/or highly experienced with Wizard builds. This is a nonseason build for sure. Paragon 1100+ should be fine. I kind of feel Firebird Archon is better than this in some ways even though it excels in GRs. With an ingeom in the cube, you could speed farm. For anyone wanting a T13 speed farming build that is consistent, make an LTK monk. Easy as that.
@MrTouchngo teleport has arcane and familiar has fire
Great build para 890 seasons. been carrying 4man grp thru t13 in 3~5mins no decent in-geom yet and gear is bads very op build
+1 to all thoses comments!!
Did you asked all your friends to register to get an upvote??? this build doesn't work at all.
I get all the stuff in Ancient, spend time to reroll until I get most of the good affix, I'm paragon 815, put Caldesan 81/85 on most of them, and any mob OS me in t-XIII. It's a joke.
Or is someone can explain what did I do wrong and how I m supposed to quick farm solo?
