Build Guide

Hi all,

This is my take on the WD LoN Spirit Barrage build focused on pets as well.

You gain 2 mimics from grin reaper which will auto-cast pirahnados for you, 5 zombie dogs with tasker, jeram, midnight feast, lon bonus, enforcer, and +30k+ life per hit per dog. 3 cleaving gargantuans which work great with pirahnado, tasker, jeram, midnight feast, lon bonus, and short man finger ring, and enforcer. 15 fetishes gaining bonuses from tasker, jeram, lon bonus, and enforcer, these are mostly meat shields but also do some damage.

Along with the powerful pet army you also have access to powerful spirit barrage via the barber, gazing demise, lon bonus, and grin reaper. Phantasm rune received by gazing demise benefits from pet bonuses I believe as well, which is why I have made the build this way. You should have +60% cold damage ideally to benefit gargantuan, phantasm, and spirit is willing spirit barrage.

The build is such that you should never fall below Aquila range due to rush of essence, spirit is willing, and grave injustice. Aquila + lon defense bonus + sacred harvester + lakumba ornament + esoteric gem means you should have 500 million + toughness, along with your 23 pets running around fast due to fierce loyalty and spirit walk severance, which should be up constantly as you go into groups, spirit barrage explode them, and cooldown is now reset.

This build will probably not do as much damage as a non-pet focused spirit barrage build utilizing the +300% haunt/locus swarm ring and no pet bonuses, but it will output consistent damage with very little to worry about, you just severance run through groups, blow em up, tank everything, great/respectable damage, and life is good.

Have fun!
