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: Unhallowed Essence
Rating: tier B across all classes
Kanai's Cube: Dawn, Stone Gauntlets, Ring of Royal Grandeur, Convention of Elements
Skills: Evasive Fire (Surge), Multishot (Fire at Will), Companion (Boar Companion), Preparation (Punishment), Smoke Screen (Special Recipe), Vengeance (Dark Heart)
Passives: Cull the Weak, Ambush, Thrill of the Hunt, Numbing Traps
Variants available: GR push, Speed farming, Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts

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 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 1700% 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 Multishot (Suppression Fire), Shadow Power (Blood Moon), Smoke Screen (Vanishing Powder), Vengeance (From the Shadows); cube Echoing Fury, Pride's Fall; gems Bane of the Powerful.
Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Multishot (Suppression Fire), Shadow Power (Blood Moon), Smoke Screen (Displacement), Vengeance (From the Shadows); cube Pride's Fall, Echoing Fury; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard, 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 — 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.
