The pale rider rises once more. I decided to test out the use of Miranae now that I have gathered all but one slot for ancients and one primal now equipped along with a significant increase in my paragon levels. It is still viable. I can reliably farm GR80 with this build. The rotation stays absolutely the same. Get in on a group of enemies cast bone armor and use grim scythe to deal damage. As you get corpses cast corpse lance for additional damage. Use bone armor when ever off CD to trigger krysbins. Use blood rush to either jump into the middle of a group or to disengage if running low on health or get out of ground effects from elites. Use Land of the dead for the start of a rift to get your stacks of bone armor easier, and for elites as needed. Be sure to keep an eye on the rift gauge and to have Land of the Dead off cool down when you summon the Rift Guardian to just melt it quickly.
