If you edit out all of the time spent reading every spell, ability, affix, augments, gems, set bonuses and spells to us like we're children, the result is a pretty good video. Good info. Thanks 75/100

[@drewwomack3745]

I found it easier to swap out glacial spike for ray of frost. Because its a spender it procs the cooldown redux on your ring. As after archon i drop hydras and ray until archon is almost back up then drop black hole and archon again. If you blackhole first the ray of frost/ring will bring blackhole off cooldown before archon.

[@richee21]

it is a viable build but only issue is when you drop hydra the manald heal proc only on hydra and if you are using archon at that period of time or other lightning skill it wont work. alot of ppl still tried to avoid using hydra for higher GR due to the issue i have mentioned above.

[@HeRuruAhau]

another thing. area damage is worthless to us, so it should be the last priority in paragon. this is because manald heal procs don't proc area damage, so we're only getting area damage on what we'd hit without manald (which is virtually nothing; or 14x less than with manald). if u have problems with pc performance in GRs, it can actually pay to leave area damage at 0 to improve performance slightly.

[@HeRuruAhau]

you should prioritise armor over all resist, always. we have proportionately more all resist due to int and therefore, gain less toughness from additional all resist compared to armor. good guide though. easy watching thumbs up

[@jestonlott8116]

Do u have a more basic build as far as helping get the proper items to finish the build ?

[@randyraber8157]

Hey should I wait till I have all items to start this build or can I do it while i still need a few like manald heal ash and swami star fire

[@bioshockz]

i was testing the build with teleport for GR, and is quite a pain in the ass because sometimes Archon takes a while to procc Paralysis i was hitting the elites for like all the duration of the archon and their health didn't drop from 90% don't know what to do to go up into grs, i cleared a 78 but that's all

[@jacobblitshtein419]

Love your videos man im still wating for speed build tho didnt like this one with the hydra do you think that the last speed build that you did still works for this season just as well ?

[@JAKEL33T]

Yes, it still works, I farm with it currently :)

[@jacobblitshtein419]

JAKEL33T oh thats awesome dude happy to hear about that anyway keep up with the awesome videos i subbed to you and told all my friends about you really love your content keep up with it

[@jesseseymore5474]

Sorry in advance for this probably noob question. Okay so I'm sort of new to the seasonal play as I took a break from Diablo. I play on the PS4 and can't figure how you equip magic weapon and energy armor at the same time since they are both a circle skill. Am I missing something?

[@swinglow6580]

Jesse seymore you need to go to your options and select elective mode

[@kojosei]

Thanks for the info

[@kojosei]

Thanks for the video !! New player and I'm playing on the PS4. I was wondering, how do I put a gem on a weapon or rings if it doesn't have a socket ?

[@roflcopterru]

Leonis Williams Rings have to have a place for a gem, weapon can be upgraded to have a place for a gem with "ramaldnis gift", however this is quite a rare item and you should use it wisely

[@Jengibreification]

Leonis Williams You can also try to get sockets at the enchanter in place of some stats, if you didnt know.

[@raisin57525]

Hello guys, can you tell me how much cdr you've got with your build ? You don't need in-geom to reduce your cd, so you've something more than 50 % I'm currently with 45% and it isn't enough to be in archonte when the stacks down. Sorry for my bad english ^^

[@jeremyjoe7494]

I personally am running the CoE version and I have 57.xx% CDR, but I'm missing CDR on my shoulders, both rings and amulet (total of 19% CDR missing on my gear) and my friend who has it all has like 64% (I'm no totally sure what's the max). So that's what you're aiming for - having CDR on every single piece of gear that can have it (weapons, ring, amulet, gloves, shoulders).

[@costy866]

Nathan Lemoine 62 % cdr +zodiac ring and you will be k

[@drewwomack3745]

Nathan Lemoine i have 60% and about 5 or 6 seconds out of archon. Ray of frost with obsidian ring lowers the remaining cooldown very quickly

[@christianambrose4941]

How did you get that huge cursor? I lose mine during fights so often. :(

[@JAKEL33T]

It's in options; Really useful.

[@martinriggs4759]

hahaha same here...great to know

[@8246857]

Ty for the info, but can you explain faster next time?

[@C0nstant1n]

It's a silly build , it will get you to GR80 solo, maybe 85 with good gear ... the Teleport/Calamity build with Parthan Defenders is still most viable for pushing solo GRs. This one is slow and immobile , you can't skip trash mobs or they'll stab you in the back. But it gets the job done for a while I guess ;/

[@DB-qc9br]

C0nstant1n lol top wizard in leaderboards is at GR 104 solo with hydra build

[@tragicjon6193]

thing with dropping Hydra for Teleport, is that you less to build Tal stacks with, 2 Arcane abilities, that only 3 Tal stacks, so how would that work? The build I was suggested drops Deflection for Teleport and keeps Hydra

[@JAKEL33T]

Magic Missile - Glacial Spike is Cold Black Hole - Spellsteal is Arcane Hydra - Lightning Hydra is Lightning Archon Combustion is Fire

[@Bongstahable]

fire and lightening stack come from archon so you only really need a arcane and cold.

[@C0nstant1n]

What about now ? As I said this build is good until you can switch to the TP/Calamity&Ancient Parthan Defenders one ...

[@aaronhollowell5788]

To bad you couldn’t keep the hydra out all the time. Like a pet.

[@aithusa2165]

ease of use... very hard. youre squishy
