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: Might of the Earth
- Rating: tier A across all classes
- Kanai's Cube: The Furnace, Lut Socks, Band of Might
- Skills: Leap (Call of Arreat), Seismic Slam (Rumble), Earthquake (Molten Fury), Whirlwind (Wind Shear), War Cry (Veteran's Warning), Wrath of the Berserker (Insanity)
- Passives: Ruthless, Rampage, Earthen Might, Boon of Bul-Kathos
- Variants available: Speed farming, GR push, Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts
What the set does
This build wears Might of the Earth. 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: Reduce the cooldown of Earthquake, Avalanche, Leap, and Ground Stomp by 1 second for every 30 Fury you spend with an attack.
- 4 pieces: Leap causes an Earthquake when you land. Additionally, Leap gains the effect of the Iron Impact rune and the rune's effect and duration are increased by 150%.
- 6 pieces: Increase the damage of Earthquake, Avalanche, Leap, Ground Stomp, Ancient Spear and Seismic Slam by 37,500%.
How the variants differ
Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:
- Speed farming: swaps in cube Blade of the Tribes; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard.
- Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Ignore Pain (Bravado), Earthquake (Cave-In), Threatening Shout (Terrify); cube Blade of the Tribes, Chilanik's Chain, Ring of Royal Grandeur; gems Boon of the Hoarder, Gogok of Swiftness, Taeguk.
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 7 sockets are filled with regular gems: Diamond (6) and Emerald (1).
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. Which item is sanctified depends on the version: In-geom (Speed farming), Blade of the Tribes (GR push) and In-geom (Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts). 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.
