This build mainly focuses around Seven-Sided Strike and Exploding Palm, allowing the Skills to work together to create many explosions. You will use the Impending Doom Rune for Exploding Palm for more powerful explosions, and the Sustained attack Rune for Seven-Sided Strike to reduce its cooldown.

Along with these two Skills, the other core Skills are:

Passives

Equipment

The primary armor will be the Uliana’s Stratagem set. You will need five pieces of it for the full effect (if you Cube the Royal Ring of Grandeur). Gundo Gear, The Fist of Az’Turrasq, and Convention of Elements increase Exploding Palm’s damage and allow the effect to spread easier. Lion’s Claw will increase the hits of Seven-Sided Strike, and the Captain Crimson’s Trimmings set will increase both damage and survivability.

Gogok of Swiftness, Bane of the Trapped, and Bane of the Stricken are generally the best Legendary Gems. Gogok of Swiftness will greatly increase your Cooldown Reduction, Attack Speed, and Dodge, while the other two will further increase your damage.
