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: Armor of Akkhan
- Rating: tier A across all classes
- Kanai's Cube: Frydehr's Wrath, Warhelm of Kassar, Ring of Royal Grandeur
- Skills: Smite (Reaping), Phalanx (Shield Bearers), Judgment, Iron Skin (Flash), Laws of Valor (Unstoppable Force), Akarat's Champion (Prophet)
- Passives: Heavenly Strength, Lord Commander, Finery, Long Arm of the Law
- Variants available: Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts, Speed farming, GR push
What the set does
This build wears Armor of Akkhan. 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: Judgment has no cooldown and gains the effect of every rune.
- 4 pieces: Attacks from Phalanx Avatars reduce the cooldown of Akarat's Champion by 0.5 seconds, and also apply Condemn when attacking enemies that are affected by Judgment.
- 6 pieces: While Akarat's Champion is active, you deal 1,500% increased damage and take 50% less damage.
In the push version Condemn is not on the skill bar: the Phalanx (Shield Bearers) avatars trigger it through the 4-piece bonus on enemies affected by Judgment. You only cast Condemn yourself in the Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts and Speed farming versions.
How the variants differ
Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:
- Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Provoke (Flee Fool), Phalanx (Bowmen), Condemn (Shattering Explosion), Laws of Hope (Wings of Angels), Akarat's Champion (Embodiment of Power); cube In-geom, Goldwrap, Squirt's Necklace; gems Boon of the Hoarder, Bane of the Powerful.
- Speed farming: swaps in skills Justice (Sword of Justice), Phalanx (Bowmen), Condemn (Unleashed), Laws of Hope (Wings of Angels); cube Tasker and Theo; gems Bane of the Powerful.
Sockets and gems
The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Trapped, Bane of the Stricken, Enforcer) 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. None of your class's three powers boosts a skill of this build directly. The Fist of the Heavens power works regardless of your skill bar. This build sanctifies Blade of Prophecy, 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.
