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: Seeker of the Light
Rating: tier C across all classes
Kanai's Cube: Faithful Memory, Hammer Jammers, Ring of Royal Grandeur, Echoing Fury
Skills: Provoke (Too Scared to Run), Blessed Hammer (Limitless), Iron Skin (Steel Skin), Falling Sword (Rapid Descent), Laws of Valor (Unstoppable Force), Akarat's Champion (Prophet)
Passives: Fervor, Finery, Holy Cause, Long Arm of the Law
Variants available: Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts, 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.

What the set does

This build wears Seeker of the Light. 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: Every use of Blessed Hammer that hits an enemy reduces the cooldown of Falling Sword and Provoke by 1 second.
4 pieces: You take 50% less damage for 8 seconds after landing with Falling Sword.
6 pieces: Increase the damage of Blessed Hammer by 15,000% and Falling Sword by 1000%.

How the variants differ

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

Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Blessed Hammer (Dominion), Iron Skin (Flash), Steed Charge (Nightmare), Laws of Hope (Wings of Angels), Akarat's Champion (Embodiment of Power); cube Johanna's Argument, Goldwrap, Guard of Johanna; gems Zei's Stone of Vengeance, Boon of the Hoarder.

Sockets and gems

The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Trapped, Bane of the Stricken, Gogok of Swiftness) 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.
