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.
How the variants differ
Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:
- Speed farming: swaps in skills Evasive Fire (Focus), Multishot (Arsenal), Strafe (Drifting Shadow), Smoke Screen (Displacement); cube Dawn, Pride's Fall; gems Taeguk.
- Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Strafe (Drifting Shadow), Multishot (Arsenal), Shadow Power (Shadow Glide), Smoke Screen (Displacement), Vengeance (Seethe); cube Dawn, Krelm's Buff Belt; gems Wreath of Lightning, Boon of the Hoarder.
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 7 sockets are filled with regular gems: Diamond (5), Topaz (1) 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 Strafe and Vengeance powers apply, because it uses those skills. This build sanctifies Yang's Recurve, 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.
