Ring of Royal Grandeur

Primarily looking to keep strafe and Vengeance up at all times. (Lazy farming build)

Gear:

For rings you can swap to Focus and Restraint if your CDR is around 50%. CoE is there as a placement holder until you get to that point. Elusive Ring is there to help with damage reduction while building up your BiS.

Captains set is there for CDR and RCR while you work on getting HW and DD

Reaper Wraps is also a building block until you dont need to rely on the resource regen from health globes

Hellfire Amulet for 5th Passive. look for Archery. If you dont care about the 5th passive use FoT

Gems:

Simplicity's Strength increase primary skill damage. no brainier here. the healing from level 25 is a nice bonus

Taeguk again is a no brainier. Channeling damage (Strafe is channeled). The level 15 armor bonus is nice too

Stricken is interchangeable here. I go with stricken for the boss damage but you can use Band of the Power for the damage reduction at the cost of damage or Bane of the Trapped for the level 25 self synergy. Gogok swiftness is also nice for the self synergy CDR if youre having problems getting 50% CDR on gear.

With Gems i'll be 100% honest. Its all on your play style. Use what makes you feel most comfortable. The ones i listed are just they way i play.

Core:

As this is a Speed build we want to start with Movement speed.

2nd will be Max resources for longer strafe

last Dexterity (prim stat) All remaining points here.

Offence:

CDR is king here.

CH and CD are interchangeable

Attack speed last

Defense:

I prefer armor first but you can do RA if you want. These should be filled first.

IMO regen is garbage and falls to last

Utility:

RCR here. less resource cost is more strafe

AD and LoH are interchangeable

Gold is always last

Build Guide

This is simply a lazy mans farming build. This is my play style and can obviously be altered to be more powerful and used as a push build but im not a push build person. I more enjoy just running rifts, PLing and playing non cookie cutter builds
