(LoD refers to the Legacy of Dreams Legendary Gem).
An all around great build that allows for massive explosive and huge damage. It does not rely on any sets, but rather a few legendaries to enhance your Skills.
Skills
This build mainly revolves around Corpse Explosion, with many of the other Skills powering it up or enabling you to use it more.
Besides Corpse Explosion, the core Skills of this build are:
- Grim Scythe – used to help increase the damage of Corpse Explosion.
- Land of the Dead – allows you to spam Corpse Explosion while active, as well as freeze enemies around you.
- Bone Armor – gives you damage reduction as well as a boost in damage.
- Bone Spear – used to further boost the damage of Corpse Explosion.
- Blood Rush – will grant some mobility and damage reduction.
Passives
- Spreading Malediction – gives an overall boost in damage.
- Blood Is Power – helps to reduce the cooldown of Land of the Dead.
- Stand Alone – gives a boost in survivability.
- Eternal Torment – allows your curses to last forever.
- Final Service – can be used to provide a safety net from dying.
Equipment
Nayr’s Black Death will allow all of your offensive Skills to boost each other’s damage up, as they will all deal Poison damage. Grasps of Essence and The Johnstone will both increase the damage of Corpse Explosion. Trag’Oul’s Corroded Fang, Krysbin’s Sentence, and Convention of Elements will all increase your overall damage. Razeth’s Volition, Aquila Cuirass, Ancient Parthan Defenders, Dayntee’s Binding, and Stone Gauntlets will all help with damage reduction.
Legacy of Dreams is an essential Legendary Gem to this build, as it will massively increase your offense and defense for having only legendary gear equipped. Bane of the Trapped and Bane of the Stricken will generally be the other best choices for Legendary Gems, both of which will further increase your damage.
