Build Guide

Pestilance zNec for group GR's

Your main focuses gearwise are CDR and %AS

CDR should be at 65% minimum, around 70% is optimal

%AS should be at 30% minimum, around 35% or higher is optimal

Focus on keeping your Land of the Dead up at all times, which you will get through mass CDR and spamming Death Nova to proc Zodiac.

Always spam Devour (which should be obvious) to keep you from dying and to generate essence in order to keep Aquila's damage reduction up.

Potency gives you a 100% armor buff so cast Blood Rush whenever your buff is about to end.

Gems

Gem of Ease on your weapon, diamonds on armor.

If your barb is a dumbfuck, then you will be picking up the globes. To avoid this try to get pick up radius as your secondary rolls when possible.

Don't be a retard, you can and will die if you aren't careful no matter how tanky you are with this build. Mobs at GR100+ hit harder than my dad used to hit me as a kid.

(Builders note: Brain is not required to effectively play this build.)
