Build Guide
Archon rune MUST BE COMBUSTION, otherwise you will not get 4 stacks of Tal Rasha.
As soon as you enter rift get your 3 stacks of Tal then pop archon for your 4th. Gather mobs in this phase to prepare them for the swami overlap when you pop archon again.
Try to hit elites at max range (50 yards) for maximum bonus on Zei, same with RG.
Melee range oculus is not worth it.
Taunt on templar if using.
https://twitch.tv/xfrequ Haven't played that much since week 1, but I do hop on d3 every now and then (I'll most like be testing stuff on PTR now that its live). I'd also check out fuczzang who was rank 1 wiz in s8 and is (as of January 31st, 2017) rank 1 wiz world in s9. He streams often so he is a great resource (he's korean but understands english and will respond to your comments too).

So on PTR (which was what the vid was recorded in) I said Pig sticker/starfire was better than SF/Furnace, I assumed it was just due to higher APS from pig sticker=more procs but it also turns out that the bonus damage to elites doesn't even affect MH proc damage, neither does lightning% (starfire being the exception). Cratic tested, vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_DkfY1SU_4

Appreciate the guide.
will try it out
You cant keep the 4 stacks up longer than 8 seconds in archon. For thise 8 seconds you want to kill everything you can, if you still have swami overlap after 8 seconds try to kill trash mobs but once swami runs out just try your best to group up enemies for next archon.
hey, is ad useless on this build?
Yes, Manald Heal can't proc area damage
No
Is it possible to switch the pig sticker with a gift of silaria? Got a primal ancient one with 3k dmg, int, vit, cdr and attack speed.
