Gameplay

The configuration

This setup is stored as a complete build — gear, skills, runes and all four cube slots work together and are not assembled from individual statistics.

  • Set: no class set — Legacy gem build
  • Rating: tier B across all classes
  • Kanai's Cube: Akkhan's Leniency, Strongarm Bracers, Unity, Echoing Fury
  • Skills: Blessed Shield (Combust), Provoke (Hit Me), Iron Skin (Flash), Condemn (Unleashed), Laws of Valor (Critical), Akarat's Champion (Prophet)
  • Passives: Fervor, Finery, Towering Shield, Hold Your Ground
  • Variants available: Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts, Speed farming, GR push
Use the variant switcher above to move between the versions. What changes between them is spelled out below — read it before you rebuild.

How the variants differ

Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:

  • Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Blessed Shield (Shattering Throw), Provoke (Flee Fool), Steed Charge (Nightmare), Laws of Hope (Wings of Angels), Akarat's Champion (Hasteful); cube In-geom, Nemesis Bracers, Avarice Band; gems Bane of the Powerful, Boon of the Hoarder.
  • Speed farming: swaps in skills Laws of Hope (Wings of Angels); cube St. Archew's Gage; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard.

Sockets and gems

The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Legacy of Dreams, Bane of the Trapped) belong in the jewellery slots — that is the only place their rank counts, and the only place they keep growing when you upgrade after a Greater Rift.

The remaining 7 sockets are filled with Diamond: the multiplier already comes from the set and the legendary powers, so one more base stat does more there than another effect would.

On the season theme

Shades of the Nephalem spawns a shadow clone of your class at every shrine and pylon that fights along for one minute. Activate shrines inside the pull, not on the way there. The fourth cube slot is already filled in every variant above.
