It's a ranged build, but it still deals quite a bit of damage up close. Main damage comes from MH and supporting multipliers.

RCR is preferred first, however, putting a few points into LoH as you are leveling up does help with recovery.

This is to hit those breakpoints all the much sooner. I also prefer rolling AS in paragon before CHC and CHD. Early season I'd go without it, but later season I'd roll with it. Until you get one, you can use any other source as a stat stick. That said, if you happen to get a well rolled In-Geom, you can use that weapon over the Starfire.Ĭosmic strand is crafted. Having that 10s uptime is more important than losing up to 5% damage per 15 yards on your starfire. That said, if you prefer wearing an MH, a trifecta (CDR / CHC / CDR) with a near perfect legendary roll can be worn instead, and you'd cube the zodiac in that case. To lower the IAS required for max APS Manald Heal procs, and also because it's much easier to gear for earlier in the season. Note that this particular build I've put Zodiac in the ring slot as worn. If you're feeling low on VIT you can always put Amethyst in pants. It takes your max elemental damage and uses that element type. We put Lightning % only on bracer to tell Vyr2 which element to deal damage with. So AR on shoulder is still a very good, efficient, pick for this build. In terms of rerolling for this build, I'd rather roll the CDR on the shoulder to max 8%, or a secondary to +Pickup radius than roll the AR to life%. While shoulders that could be rolled as Life% might give a slight increase to sheet toughness, striving for that shouldn't matter here. Note AR rolls default for shoulders, which is why I recommend it. Secondary resists where possible.ĪPoC on source is fairly required for resource when outside of archon. Note in the video I even rerolled some of the secondaries on my items to get this. +Pickup radius is very nice for picking up orbs as easily as possible. With full gogok stacks, this will help give you very quick Archon resets.ĭiamond in helm for CDR. Amulet is also preferred with CDR, but INT would be adequate there.

Weapon: %Dmg or INT / CDR / AS / Socket (Emerald)ĬDR is key for gearing.

Pants: INT / VIT / +Armor / Sockets (Topaz or Amethyst).

Amulet: CDR or INT / CHC / CHD / Socket.

Chest: INT / VIT / +Armor or EliteDmgRed% / Sockets (Topaz).

Head: INT / VIT / CHC / Socket (Diamond).

Enemies stunned with Paralysis also take 13000 - 14000% weapon damage as Lightning.
