This is just some testing of what can be done without LoTD and Corpse Lance. The problem of running Corpse Lance is that you kinda need to go LoTD because you will be left with no corpses at Rift Guardian. I personally don't like playing large CD's so I was playing the popular build with Aura of Frailty and took me ages to kill a Rift Guardian at 75. After getting pissed at that I decided to play around a bit and see if I can come up with something a bit more universal.

I literally filmed my first attempt at this build and I just posted it for tips and ideas. I think this could potentially work, but I think Bone Spirit mind have a better rune and some other things could be swapped.

UPDATE: Final Service is really a lot better than Eternal Torment highly recommend swapping it. Cursed Scythe rune is also a lot better. The build will struggle after GR85 tho. I am probably going to call it quits for now.

Going for Grasps of Essence in Cube will make a huge damage difference the problem is at least with my gear toughness is sadly lacking.

Still in testing and I have pretty bad gear, but that GR70 wasn't too bad. I literally filmed my first trying playing this build and I feel it can do well, perhaps some gems need to be changed around. Probably Wreath of Lightning could find a use here.
