Intro & build description
Are you tired of dying? Are you sick from slow builds? Do you wish for a build that has insane clear speed but also crazy high DPS? This build is definitely for you!
With this build, you can destroy everything the game has to offer! The best part is, all this on 5L! When maxed out, we have ~40M shaper DPS on 5L as the 6th link is melee splash (which provides us with no damage) and about ~64M DPS with close combat replacing Melee Splash.
Build Pros
- God-like clear speed
- Insane DPS
- VERY tanky
- Great build to start in a new league (Would suggest using cyclone/double strike as skill for a league starter)
Build Cons
- Can't do physical reflect maps unless you invest into it.

AbyssusAbyssus is an amazing helmet that comes at a great price. If you feel like Abyssus makes you too squishy, you might want to consider using a different helm but I would still suggest sticking to Abyssus as the damage this item provides is just insane.
Body Armour
Farrul's FurFor the build to function properly, Farrul’s Fur is necessity to push the build to the next level.
Gloves
Rare GlovesRare gloves with triple res and life, phys dmg would also be cool if u can afford to get it or harvest craft it.
Boots
Rare BootsBoots with triple elemental resistance, life, and movement speed if u can get it or bench-craft it.
Left Ring
Mark of the ElderMark of the Elder is an amazing ring. Price will differ depending on the roll. Get the highest you can afford.
Right Ring
Rare RingRare assassin’s mark ring till you can afford a better one. Get elemental resistances on the ring if you can.
Amulet
Rare AmuletRare amulet with life, physical damage and accuracy. If you are struggling with elemental resistances, feel free to get amulet that fits your needs.
Belt
PerseveranceYou can just use Perseverance unique belt till you get rare belt with resistances and life. Best in slot belt for this build is Ryslatha’s Coil which can get costly.
1Hand Weapon
ScaevaIdeally you want to get Paradoxica but any budget weapon such as Scaeva or well rolled rare will do just fine.
Jewel
Rare JewelsRare jewels with life and resistances if you are struggling to cap elemental resistances and life feels to be low. Otherwise just go for a DPS jewel with two damage mods. Pairing both damage and life can get expensive.
