Krysbin's Sentence

Utilizing the power of In-Geom and loads of cooldown reduction makes this build a powerhouse within speed farming. Next to no downtime on your Land of the Dead and because of In-Geom you can blink around with no cooldown at all.

Clearing time on GR60 is 1.30 - 3.00 depending on elite spawns and density.

Ideal for clearing T13 rifts aswell.

Using Goldwrap and Boon of the Hoarder legendary gems is a good choice if you are doing T13 or bounties. Defencive alterations can be made without compromising the purpose of this build.

Build Guide

T13 and Greater Rift speedfarming build.

Try to herd monsters together with clever usage of Bone Spear and Blood Rush.

Blood Rush will shed a corpse which you can use to get the corpse lance spam going. In general you will only trigger corpse lance with the Devour ability in combination with Pestilence 2 piece bonus.

When you reach a elite pack or multiple trigger Land of the Dead and Singularity spam Devour and Corpse Lance and enjoy the huge amounts of CD reduction from In-Geom making you come close to the next use of the ability.

Like traditional Corpse Lance builds this is best suited as an elite hunter, but as you will see on this lower difficulties you are able to keep Corpse Lances contantly rolling makeing it excellent for clearing the rift in it´s entirety.
