  • Head: STR / VIT / CHC / Socket (Diamond)
  • Shoulder: STR / +AR or VIT or RCR / CDR / Condemn%
  • Amulet: Holy% / CHC / CHD / Socket

  • Feet: STR / VIT / AR / LPS or +Armor
  • Rings: CDR / CHC / CHD / Socket
  • Weapon: STR / CDR / WPS / Socket (Emerald)
  • Shield: STR / CHC / CDR / LPWS

  • LPS = Life per second
  • WPS = Wrath Per second affix (passive wrath regen)
  • LPWS = Life Per Wrath Spent

Secondaries: +Pickup, +single resist, +Ranged Reduction%

Cooldown on every item possible, excepting the amulet. Note the CDR on belt. Life% on belt is preferable, but +AR is pretty good there too.

CDR to 56.5% is required, gives some overlap on Akarat's Champion.

61.5% is recommended, this would reduce the downtime in between wings of angels to only 1.5s.

Perfect CDR is 63.16%, which only leaves 1s of downtime on your law.

Wrath regen is required on weapon.

RCR is a great option for shoulder. Would give a little more leeway in resource. However, as seen from the video, this is not required, just would be nice to have. Great option for higher paragon, as you'd be able to sink a few points into VIT to make up the toughness loss.

Priority on shield is CDR > LPWS > CHC > STR, in my opinion.

EliteDmgReduction% can be run on chest, either in place of VIT or Condemn%, though keeping Condemn% on chest is advised for lower paragon. Higher paragon players can instead place paragon into VIT and run with this affix on chest in place of VIT.

Diamonds are recommended in chest / pants for most players, especially at lower paragon. Rubies become more of an option with higher paragon, and also for more practiced players.

Options for higher paragon include running RCR on shoulder, EliteDmgRed% on chest in place of VIT. Either of these may prompt placement of paragon points into VIT. 500k+ HP is my recommendation.

-----

Build is now somewhat finalized. Currently clearing GR84 solo speeds in 3 to 5m, That's with only 11k Strength, mostly non ancient gear, non ancient weapons, only 700% multiplier shield, and only 1.2M dps sheet.

Enjoy!

I love the added tankiness with this setup, using both Guard and Prophet with Unity (use on follower also with do not die token).

Having the Akkahns Addendum is great too for the Rally rune on akkarat's champion, quicker resets on all of your abilities.

High CDR from Leoric's Crown and Vigilante belt allows for even more uptime of Iron skin, wings of angels law, and a low cooldown provoke.

The extra wrath regen from the embodiment of power rune also helps ensure uninterrupted condemn attacks. Make sure to use the inspire ability on templar follower.

Provoke is great here for slowing the attack speed of enemies, great against pylon spawns, elite packs, and the RG. Provoke also functions as a hefty Wrath recovery skill. Try to cast when more enemies are around your character to increase the wrath amount recovered.

Esoteric Alteration provides defense against harmful elemental damage affixes such as fire chains, electrified, frozen pulse, molten, etc.

You can use scripting or numlock for your autocast.

Keep all four abilities on auto cast. All you should have to manually cast with this build is slash and provoke, though you can opt to swap the placement of provoke and iron skin, and instead manually cast the iron skin if preferred.

Use move and force move to position for oculus rings and use the vaccumm pull to your advantage. Try and pull enemies at least once to proc the Strongarms damage debuff on them.

Movement speed in this build comes from wings of angels with extra duration from long arm of the law. Not 100% uptime, but very close to it, due to the inclusion of both Leoric's Crown and Vigilante Belt. This skill also gives the ability to walk through enemies, and waller, quite nice.

I've opted for higher damage and defense with the build instead of move speed in a few places because it allows the build to push higher in GR while still clearing sub 4m. However, if more move speed is preferable, see the below possible swaps:
  • Can run Warzechian Armguards instead of Strongarms.
  • Can run Wreath of Lightning gem instead of Powerful.
  • Can run Flash rune on iron skin, but this bonus is inconsistent.

EDIT (4/10/2018): Swapped out illusory boots as seen in video for Leoric's crown for higher uptime on skills, and higher uptime of wings of angels.

EDIT (5/15/2018): Swapped Mirinae for Esoteric, replaced WPS (wrath per second) on shield with LPWS (life per wrath spent). Swapped Indestructible for Holy cause. Listing option for RCR on shoulder.
