Build Guide

Ahoy Mateys,

Here is the variant on Sage/Sunwuko build I have been running to gather Death Breath for upcycling legendaries.

With the Sage bonus an extra Death Breath will drop when killing an elite, so you have the ability to get 3 or 4 per kill, depending on torment level. This will not work on a GR as no Death Breath drop from mobs.

Find an elite, kill to proc In-Geom, Dash to the next mob, collect DB, continue, keep killing elites and will have close to 100% uptime for In-Geom
