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: Fragment of Destiny, Stone Gauntlets, Unity, Deathwish
Skills: Spectral Blade (Ice Blades), Black Hole (Blazar), Arcane Torrent (Flame Ward), Blizzard (Lightning Storm), Hydra (Frost Hydra), Storm Armor (Shocking Aspect)
Passives: Elemental Exposure, Audacity, Galvanizing Ward, Arcane Dynamo
Variants available: 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.

Sockets and gems

The 3 legendary gems (Legacy of Dreams, Enforcer, Bane of the Stricken) 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 Topaz: 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.
