Not even looking for pylons to cheese it, gj!

[@danielelia2256]

Gz my bro hell of a display of knowlegde of the game! You think i could use that ring of fire with the Akkham crusader build?

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

Thank you. I haven't played Akkhan this season yet but it would be one of the first things I would try. This shard gives so much damage and damage reduction, doubt what there's something better than it.

[@travisestes6217]

How are you keeping Squirt's up? I don't really understand how that works without shields.

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

Most of the time I don't. Try to use Serenity at the end of cold, beginning of fire rotation. It is not always possible but this way you can get 2-3 stacks then. This amulet is mostly for Rift Guardian fight and when you have shield pylon up, there's nothing else what even close in terms of usefulness compared to it.

[@ElPelaVm]

You already answered in the comments many questions that I had to improve thx

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

Feel free to ask.

[@yeahval]

I have all the gear for this (ancients) but it feels like i do zero dmg sometimes and one hit sometimes. I don’t get it.

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

You do damage only when you're under effect of Epiphany and you need to hit mobs with Cyclone Strike every 5 seconds to proc your bracers. Keep in mind what Cyclone Strike cast by your mimic won't proc them, only your character does. A lot of our toughness comes from Stone Gauntlets and it is important to maintain them. You can try to get hit by 1-2 mobs before you run into an elite, it is also good way to maintain them. Remember to use Dashing Strike every 4 seconds, it helps a lot too.

[@infernalparadox6607]

U don't have a maxroll? To see what to search for in each item Pd: it's the area damage a core stat in the build?

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

No, I don't but here's general "rule" for this build. You need at least 4 pieces with Cooldown Reduction stat and Critical Hit Damage stat on gloves and rings is less valuable than Area Damage. Idea/perfect stats for the build would look like: Head: Dexterity, Vitality, Critical Hit Chance, Socket; Shoulders: Dexterity, Vitality (or Resource Cost Reduction), Cooldown Reduction, Area Damage; Amulet: Fire, Crit, Crit, Socket; Chest Armor: Dex, Vitality, Sockets; Gloves: Dex (Area Damage), Crit, Crit, Area Damage (or Cooldown); Bracers: Fire, Dex, Vit, Crit; Belt: Dex, Vit, Attack Speed Increase, Crit Damage; Rings: Crit, Crit, Area Damage (or Cooldown); Pants: Dex, Vit, Armor; Weapons: Dex, Area Damage, Cooldown; Boots: Dex, Vit, All Resistance, Wave of Light Damage. Here's link to my character/gear, I close this rift with. My stats far from perfect but it also might help you. eu.diablo3.blizzard.com/en-us/profile/IveGSL-2551/hero/169478587

[@infernalparadox6607]

Thanks you so much

[@renataukow6536]

how u didnt been slowed by ur gloves? i hate it in this set and idk how to play it.. bcoz slow

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

You wont get slowed by the gloves if you have Epiphany up or node in the altar which grants you crowd control immunity unlocked.

[@EpikasJones]

whats with the no enchantress skills?

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

I didn't select level 15 skill (charm/slow) as she can apply these when you don't want her to. For example when you trying to move an elite closer to a pylon or to another elite. It's not that big of the deal, more like I used to play like this. For other skills I took, cooldown, armor, and proc.

[@EpikasJones]

ya makes sense for higher rifts I suppose@@IveGottenSoLucky

[@nikolajakovljevic91]

where is the build and skill tree?

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

You can see my gear here: eu.diablo3.blizzard.com/en-us/profile/IveGSL-2551/hero/169478587 In my headpiece I have Sliver of Terror with fire circle power and in my weapon Dregs of Lies with power which buffs pets damage.

[@user-du3nb6uy9c]

How correct pull mobs?

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

Correct way is to let your Epiphany to drop/run out and then use Cyclone Strike together with Dashing Strike. The reason why we want to do it without Epiphany as if we do then it is up Rabid Strike's mimic will cast Cyclone Strike each time when you do and it might cast in wrong direction. And even if it is "correct" direction it will add another 40% crowd control resistance to the mobs what were hit by it and you won't be able to pull them again with the skill. You can try to do combination of Cyclone Strike and Dashing Strike but it is hard to do as you need to be really fast. In general open map does help a lot with pulling and in current season I would recommend fight an elite if there's 40 enemies around it and then move said elite to another elite or group of enemies (move forward).

[@user-du3nb6uy9c]

@@IveGottenSoLucky Thanks a lot! we usually dont fight the elite?

[@IveGottenSoLucky]

No, after some point your damage won't be high enough to defeat an elite within reasonable time/fast enough. You need to play around fire circle power (the one you on your Dregs of Lies shard). Try to get close to 100 stacks and then move on top of elite and push to 100, one you get there a circle will spawn which does a lot of damage to those who stand in it. You can see at the beginning of the video what after I defeated first elite (blue pack) I had second elite at around 25% health which I decided to move deeper, so I can build 100 stacks of the fire circle power again and finish it this way. It is also good as our damage scales with density because of Area Damage stack from Paragon and items. And of course there's conduit pylon.

[@user-du3nb6uy9c]

@@IveGottenSoLucky Thanks !!!
