Build Guide

Note: Cube weapon slot is Echoing Fury.

Amazing alternative here for Vyr nephalem rifting: Captain Crimson's!
We have to drop Fazula to be able to fit this revised set in with Vyrs, but we balance out the AS loss with placement of Echoing Fury in the cube. Squirt's for damage multiplier with shielding from GW, Deflection and toughness with Karini to assist with uptime. Note that the storm armor rune chosen is Shocking Aspect.

This is to assist with uptime of Karini, since we do not need the cost reduction rune. Capt. Crimson's gives RCR, and we don't have aether walker in this build, so less AP is spent.

I opted to keep AT:SD as it is nice to be able to shoot from range. TP:Calamity for stuns and slight mobility outside of archon.

Avarice band in the build allows for gearing with Gold% secondaries with ease, making globe pickup and gold acquisition in season much better.

It can be beneficial to stack Chantodo's up a few times before entering archon first rotation. First rotation, definitely use the punch attack, and target small monsters to get the Echoing Fury bonus stacked up 5 times as quickly as possible. The duration of EF is only about 6s before it expires, so make good use of that time.

Since the build uses only CDR, it's pretty important to get those rolls as high as possible on gear (near perfect). Note CDR on amulet is also included. Chose to keep CHC over Ele% on amulet because with such low interval of attack, combined with us one-shotting most mobs, crit is better here.

The first gap after the first rotation will be longer, because you wouldn't have had Gogok up upon activating archon.

Stretch time is included to reduce the total stack count required to hit 5 APS, as well as increase attack speed for the first rotation, in case Echoing fury is inactive. This is useful for less dense maps especially with not having Fazula's in the build.

Being able to cast slow time outside of archon is also nice, since we can't dodge projectiles that well without AW.

Notably, the extra cdr allows for some really quick teleports (quite nice actually). Note also that Capt. Crimson's damage bonus can be snapshot (think channeling pylon or triune). I assume the RCR / defensive bonus can also be snapshot, but have not tested this as yet.

Overall this snapshotting is a very bad thing for the set as it stands, however this does not detract from the undeniable utility and options this set now provides for many different classes (pretty awesome set otherwise).

I like this build because it provides another viable option for keyfarming with Vyr.

Tested:

v2.6.6.60803

Note that Squirt's is bugged in this version, only increasing incoming damage by ~5% and not 50%. I feel the inclusion of Karini however will make this build work well even when the bug is fixed.

ALTERNATE VERSION:

If you don't like managing the Squirt's bonus with this build, you can opt for Endless Walk + Force Armor + Blur as shown here. Lower toughness, but less hassle with that aspect (I've included on the d3planner this version as well in the items section):
