Gameplay
The configuration
This setup is stored as a complete build — gear, skills, runes and cube powers work together and are not assembled from individual statistics.
- Set: The Legacy of Raekor
- Rating: tier S across all classes
- Kanai's Cube: The Furnace, Stone Gauntlets, Ring of Royal Grandeur
- Skills: Whirlwind (Dust Devils), Ancient Spear (Boulder Toss), Ignore Pain (Iron Hide), Battle Rage (Bloodshed), Furious Charge, Wrath of the Berserker (Insanity)
- Passives: Rampage, Relentless, No Escape, Boon of Bul-Kathos
- Variants available: Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts, Speed farming, GR push
What the set does
This build wears The Legacy of Raekor. These bonuses apply once the matching number of set pieces is equipped — the damage multiplier hangs on them, not on the individual stats of the pieces:
- 2 pieces: Furious Charge refunds a charge if it hits only 1 enemy.
- 4 pieces: Furious Charge gains the effect of every rune and deals 1,000% increased damage. For every 1% Life you are missing, the damage of your Ancient Spear is increased by 2%.
- 6 pieces: Hitting enemies with Furious Charge or Weapon Throw increases the damage of your next Ancient Spear by 2,500% and causes it to release multiple spears from its target. This effect stacks and each spear throw consumes a maximum of 5 stacks.
How the variants differ
Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:
- Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Whirlwind (Wind Shear), Ancient Spear (Harpoon), Sprint (Marathon), War Cry (Veteran's Warning); cube In-geom, Goldwrap; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard, Boon of the Hoarder.
- Speed farming: swaps in skills Whirlwind (Wind Shear), War Cry (Veteran's Warning); cube Messerschmidt's Reaver, Leoric's Crown; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard.
Sockets and gems
The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Bane of the Trapped, Zei's Stone of Vengeance) belong in the jewellery slots (rings and amulet). Urshi can upgrade them after a Greater Rift whether they are socketed, in your inventory or in your stash.
The remaining 8 sockets are filled with regular gems: Diamond (6) and Emerald (2).
On the season theme
In Season 40, Angelic Crucibles sanctify a legendary item: perfect Ancient-level stats plus one of three powers of your class at random. You can only wear one Sanctified item at a time. For this build the Whirlwind and Wrath of the Berserker powers apply, because it uses those skills. This build sanctifies The Three Hundredth Spear, marked in the gear above. Since the power is rolled at random, a Sanctified item can be sanctified again with another Crucible. All powers are listed on the Season 40 page.
