(LoD refers to the Legacy of Dreams Legendary Gem).
An easy-to-use and tanky build that is great for Solo Greater Rift pushing. It does not rely on any sets, but rather a few legendaries to enhance your Skills.
Skills
This build mainly focuses on using Hydra with the Mammoth Hydra Rune, summoning them to kill enemies all around you.
Besides this, the core Skills of this build are:
- Spectral Blade – used to take advantage of both Arcane Dynamo and the Bane of the Stricken. Will also provide a shield with the Barrier Blades Rune.
- Blizzard – will increase the damage of Hydra.
- Black Hole – will increase your damage and give some survivability.
- Storm Armor – gives some extra damage and more survivability.
- Teleport – gives mobility and some damage mitigation.
Passives
- Galvanizing Ward – grants some extra survivability.
- Elemental Exposure – gives a boost to your damage.
- Arcane Dynamo – will increase the damage of your Hydra.
- Audacity – will cause enemies close to you to take extra damage.
- Unwavering Will – can be used to enhance your offense and defense.
- Conflagration – can be used to boost your damage.
- Blur – can be used for extra damage mitigation.
Equipment
Serpent’s Sparker will allow you to have an extra Hydra, and increase the damage they can deal. Fragment of Destiny, The Magistrate, Winter Flurry, and Tasker and Theo will all enhance Hydra further. The Shame of Delsere will make your Spectral Blade faster, allowing it to boost your damage quicker. Squirt’s Necklace and Convention of Elements will boost your overall damage. Aquila Cuirass, Pauldrons of the Skeleton King, and Stone Gauntlets will boost your survivability.
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. Enforcer and Bane of the Stricken will generally be the other two best Legendary Gems, both of which will further increase your damage.
