Build Guide

This build is little bit more effective because set has corpse lance multiplier now.

Blood rush to enemies, bone armor, start spamming bone spears, stand still long as you can and then rush to health globes when you run out of essence and repeat. So the playing style is little bit similar to shadow impale demonhunter.

When you run out of health globes (essence) then use flesh golem.

Numlock autocast devour if you want or use aura.

You can chance blood rush to copse lance stun rune for more Krysbin's Sentence procs or use LOTD.

You have to use endless walk set mostly defensively.

Max your gear's CDR for flesh golem's corpses and bone armor's stun. You devour flesh golem's corpses automatically to essence and life from death turns then to health globes and reaper's wraps turns them to essence. Those corpses also keep your damage stacks up.

Maltorius' Petrified Spike was buffed has larger damage increase now but you can run out of essence with it. If you have essence problems use Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang instead.

RORG is free during S16 so you can wear Moribund Gauntlets and cube Golemskin Breeches for more essence and defense.

Check paragon for gear stat priorities.
