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 skills Threatening Shout (Falter); 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 Fjord Cutter, 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.
