With the Manald Heal affix in the game, I thought it was best to make a modification on the existing Fire Flash build.

In early game CDR is key to the build. However as you start to get higher paragon and augment your gear, area damage becomes far more valuable.

Death breath farming version:

Keep the build as is. If you are passed paragon 600. I would prioritize Area damage (+100% more is better) > CDR (+50% more is better). Explosive blast damage is a given especially if you have Wand of Woh equip vs. In-geom. It is a night and day difference between the two.

Greater rifts:
This build isn't meant for pushing. However it does have a higher ceiling than the fire flash build.

Gear:

I would swap out the sage's set for Firebird's set. To have the cheat death.
Ashnagarr's Blood bracers = Nemesis Bracers. Up to the user. however, Nemesis + In-geom = more consistent run. If you lack toughness go with ABB.

Passive:
Audacity > Elemental Exposure > Unstable Anomaly
Elemental Exposure > Illusionist (I would stick with illusionist because if In-geom has not proc, you can move around the map)

Gems:
Bane of the stricken > Bane of the Powerful
Esoteric Alteration > Mutilation Guard > boon of the hoarder

Kanai's cube:
Aquila Cuirass > Gold wraps.
At this point you want a balance of CDR to AD. You need enough CDR to keep diamond skin up for the RCR. but your Area dmg needs to be above 100%. Diamond skin will allow you to maintain uptime of Aquila Cuirass.

Build Guide

I will try to get a video for this build.

This build can be used for solo DB farming or in groups. You do not need that much gold to pick up to gain insane toughness.

Num Lock:
pop your shield
Key bind scroll wheel up and down to force move. This build is much easier if you have a logitech mouse. but any mouse will do.
Key bind your skills ALSO to your num pad. Press the 2 keys for explosive Blast and frost nova on the num pad. At the same time hit num lock.

You can play without this trick, however get ready to spam very frequently.

A side from those two skills. you need to teleport and cast spectral blade at least once. off cooldown pop diamond skin.

Now just run around with your mouse wheel.
