Greetings all and welcome to my first build. This is a variation of the common waste build.
Mine focus a bit more on survivability and on bul-khatos weapons.
As long you have 5 piece Waste 2 piece IK what combination of the items you have does not matter. You are going to need RoRG to make it happen.
In rings I highly recommend Unity for higher G-Rift but convention of elements is adequate for lower. Bul-Khatos wedding band is also good.

Most important stats is getting damage values when possible. Otherwise its stacking Vit, AR and life% since our main heal is based on our total hp.
Getting at least 500k health is prefered but the more the better.
500k hp = 5k heals per crit with whirlwind

This build has a lot of toughness and can easily survive higher G-Rift even with lower gear levels.
With my personal gear level I am running with 1m sheet damage 31m toughness and 200k recovery.
Fully buffed that is is 2.4m sheet damage 266m toughness and 4m recovery. And I can clear 45+ sadly I have very bad weapons so I believe this build can easily do 50-53 G-Rift with proper weapons.
Running with Unity/CotA/Whirlwind gives you a total of 85% dmg reduction on top of everything else.
Link to my current char.

The 3 legendary gems chosen is required and no other should be used.

RA is very important since we don't have much on gear Afterwards life % due to whirlwind, rest is kinda worthless.
Area damage is the most important, 20% chance to deal 50% extra damage if insane. After that RCR Rest is worthless.
