Tankier version for absolute supreme higher greater rift fighting tier GR110+

Difficulty to gear for : Supremely intricate with many variations , this is my personal favourite in use but with Armoury switch fast between speeds and pushes

Find balance between Cooldown reduction - Resource Cost Reduction -Attack speed- and reduce or increase Life , Resistances and Vitality

Dont forget ! Fishing for secondaries on this one Look for increased pick up radius everywhere , but NEVER a priority over the minimum primary stats . If youre a beast yeah sure drop some life / vitality for cooldown.

If you are a new adopter , it is important you feel the difference in the playstyle with different setups of the aformentiond stats rolled on your setup .

Paragon Priorities

Core

Movement Speed
Vitality
Maximum Resource
Primary Stat

Offense

Cooldown Reduction
Critical Hit Chance
Attack Speed
Critical Hit Damage

Defense

Life
Resist All
Armor
Life Regeneration

Utility

Resource Cost Reduction
Life on Hit
Gold Find
Area Damage

As with all builds in Diablo 3 , Prioritize capping your movement speed first. Respect yourself .

All Res gives the most toughness boost among Armour and Life Regen

Life gives you more than Vitality after passing 1,000,000 HP . Atart turning Vit Rolls to Life % passing one million hp .

Minimum targets :

Critical Hit Chance : 40%

Cooldown minimum 54% on gear

Resource cost 25% minimum

Attack speed : when possible

Build Guide

Watch the Green Timer Bar on your skill bar for Ignore Pain , it is your total time to be away from your team to pull enemies then return back at the end before the timer runs out to return and give your team " the combo skills "

"the combo skills " after refreshing Ignore Pain is: Ground Stomp + Threatening Shout + WarCry

Once combo skills applied , take a look and make sure you are always in the center of the enemy pack where your team should be as well efore applying the combo . Dont worry if you miss youll know because that team mate will not ave the Ignore Pain Buff next to his player name on the top left of the screen where all team mates players names and icons show up . In this case scenario spam harpoon to reduce your cooldown and try again fast

Dont forget to breath

Critical Hit Chance : 40%

Cooldown minimum 54% on gear

Resource cost 25% minimum

Attack speed : when possible
