I still didn't try the mantle of channeling in cube (no patience to do bounties), got pretty lucky to get the PERFECT rift lvl 90 and could do it with Aquila Cuirass in it's place instead. I'm not happy with my current damage, that's why I intend to change, but I have suboptimal gear so maybe I could get to lvl 95? Don't know.

I when for melee with Storm Armor and did not go well. The same with Halo of Arlise + APD + Ice Armour + Frost Nova.

Build Guide

First of all, I'm never get to GR lvl 100 in my life, so I will not say the ideal stats and such. In fact this is a concept I believe could get better.

In testing Energy Twister instead of meteor, I was surprised that it didn't suck! (much) I tryed: Tal Rasha 3 Channeling, no teleport; DMO no channeling and Firebird. Firebird was the most enjoyable to play by far ( I recently saw a DMO channeling that might be cool, maybe I will try). The Idea was to see how far Energy Twister could go. Right now, not as far. But I find it cool, so I'm posting it anyway.

For the little that I could get, you want an ignited elite close and burn all those trash mobs while killing those elites takes forever, so it may be treated as collateral damage. The "advantage" of energy twister from his rich brother meteor is that you are tanky (at least from my experience) and those pulls from Ranslor's made it possible to get 20 stacks from white enemies (still not ideal, but possible).

In my testing I changed the Energy Twister rune for Raging Force. In theory it might work, but I believe that the fire rune is better still. I tested different configurations (melee Storm Armour, melee Ice armour), ranged Storm Armor seems to be better.

This is the best I could do with Energy Twister. I believe that we are one real multiplier away to turn it in a real thing (or if in some way the single target damage gets better).
