Briggs' Wrath

For Speed variant put stuart's greaves in cube, or if you really want the depth diggers damage ditch Convention and wear a Briggs or RoRG and cube the other, depending on what you have a better version of.

If you don't like the idea of losing stand alone power to your mages, switch it out for Spreading Malediction or Swift Harvesting but I like the armour bonus.

This is not a build for pushing the highest rifts, this is just something that's fun to play and does just fine up to about GR 70.
