What the set does
This build wears Unhallowed Essence. 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: Your generators generate 2 additional Hatred and 1 Discipline.
- 4 pieces: Gain 60% damage reduction and deal 60% increased damage for 8 seconds if no enemy is within 10 yards of you.
- 6 pieces: Your generators, Multishot, and Vengeance deal 1,700% increased damage for every point of Discipline you have.
Sockets and gems
The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Simplicity's Strength, Bane of the Trapped) 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 Vengeance power applies, because it uses that skill. This build sanctifies Dawn, 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.
