Efficient and lethal DB farming spec. Click the video below and upvote if you like the build. Thank you!


  • Affixes
  • Orange are required. Yellow are preferred. Green are the easiest to exchange or make due without.
  • Secondary resists are preferred on items. In general, shoot for at least 400k life, 450% CHD, 55% CHC, and 70% AD.

  • Head: Socket / INT / CHC / Meteor% or VIT
  • Shoulders: CDR / EB% / Int / AD or VIT
  • Amulet: Socket / CHD / CHC / Fire%
  • Chest: Fire% / 3 Sockets / INT / VIT
  • Wrist: Fire% / CHC / INT / VIT
  • Gloves: CDR / CHC / INT / CHD
  • Waist: INT / VIT / Life% / LPS
  • Legs: INT / 2 Sockets / VIT / Armor+
  • Boots: Meteor% / INT / VIT / Armor+ or LPS
  • Ring1: Socket / CDR / CHD / AD or CHC
  • Ring2: Socket / CDR / CHD / INT or CHC
  • Weapon: Socket (Gifted) / CDR / INT / +%Dmg
  • Offhand: CDR / CHC / INT / AD or APoC

  • CDR
  • At least 60% CDR is needed to keep up Taeguk stacks. My recommendation is to slot as much as possible, up to 62.6%.

  • RCR
  • Pride's Fall + Cindercoat + 10% RCR from Paragon will be all that you need. Use Black Hole sparingly and you won't run out of AP.
  • Assign Templar's Inspire when solo. When in group, equip a source with APoC.

  • Area Damage
  • You'll want 1-2 affixes dedicated to area damage. With paragon, this will give you anywhere from 70% to 90% AD.
  • For a bit more info on area damage, see this video. Chain Reaction's fast attack allows AD to proc fairly often.
  • IMO shoulder and source are the best slots for AD, Ring is also good, but you lose out on other offensive affixes when slotting AD on ring.

  • VIT
  • Shoulder or Helmet are the best places to add an extra VIT roll if you feel one is needed. With shoulders, you sacrifice a possible AD roll, with helm you sacrifice a possible Meteor% roll. Both options are viable.

  • The Cube
  • Wand of Woh or In-Geom- Equip whichever you have a better weapon of.
  • Pride's Fall - Provides a good amount of required RCR. Allows gearing of affixes other than RCR.
  • RoRG - Required to meet set bonuses.

  • Legendary Gems
  • Bane of the Trapped - Multiplicative damage bonus that procs itself and matches Explosive blast's damage range. Sold!
  • Bane of the Powerful - Best additive damage bonus available. Instant damage unlike some other options. Easiest to replace if you want to slot something else.
  • Taeguk - Provides defense and extra offense for the build. Required.

Build Guide

Purpose
  • Farm T7-T8 for death's breath. Boasts high mobility, ease of dealing out damage. Efficient and lethal. :)
Strategy
  • Move quickly between elite packs, killing the entire pack will refresh your In-Geom and Bane of the Powerful.
  • Stun enemies with Teleport (Calamity). Run speed items and bonuses allow you to quickly move between casting Teleport.
  • Black Hole (Supermassive) works well to CC elites, especially the ranged elites that don't like to group up.
    • Note: Black Hole (Supermassive) is also used as an AP sink. Allows you to convert extra AP into damage when possible. Typically you will only cast this on elites.
  • Cast your signature spell as filler, to proc the second half of Bastions of Will.
Passives
Configuration
  • Use Teleport on left click to easily direct your character without activating force move. Use (force stand + teleport) to activate Teleport.
  • Use the num lock method on EB and DS. While the casting is not perfect (I notice ~.3s gap between blasts), it is better than I do in rotation.
