This is a 3pc Vyrs/5pc tals lightning archon build, So shoulders and boots are Vyrs and then the 3rd piece can be gloves, pants or helm and the rest tals.

A few notes about the gear you need the Swami in the cube (for some reason it isnt an option in the build creator) and 4 Arcane power on hit on your tals offhand.

For the 4th stat on shoulders and chest either life% or armor works.

The breakpoints for this build are still a little messy and undecided but Im currently thinking 4 pieces of attack speed (rings, chest and bracers)

will be the best option and you'll want the highest IAS rolls possible on every piece.

Currently Elemental damage increase and Elite damage increase arnt affecting Manald Heal so elemental% on ammy and furnace in the cube arnt necessary we just have elemental on bracers to change archon to lighting damage.

Currently this build is still being theory crafted as we havnt been able to test it so there could be multiple changes to it in the future before it hits live.

Link to video will be coming in the near future.
