Posted Nov 19, 2016Hi, I tried this build with average items + ancient weapon / offhand. I tried GR 65, but even there I had troubles surviving, most of the mobs just oneshot me. I'm not sure if I was doing anything wrong, I had exactly same items like in this build and same skills. Any idea what might help?

Posted Nov 20, 2016Basic: Keep Ice Armor & Magic Weapon up at all times and use Arcane Torrent to reset the Cooldown on Archon (through Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac in Cube).
IMPORTANT: Set Look for large densities for survive!!! Stay alive by teleporting into large densities to proc Bracers + Halo ring synergy.
Make sure Elite is Ignited to gain 2000% bonus damage buff through Firebirds.
In Archon, Left-Click Attack does +11% more damage than Right-Click... its very good for unique target.
Thanks for the comment bro!

Posted Nov 29, 2016Hmm, you don't have the obsidian ring of the zodiac in the cube though.
There's the nice synergy with bracers and halo ring, but you can't control
your archon cooldown.
