Ring of Royal Grandeur

Head: INT / VIT / CHC / Socket (Diamond)
Shoulder: INT / VIT / CDR / EB%
Amulet: Fire% / CHC / CHD / Socket
Chest: INT / VIT / EliteRed% or +Armor / EB% / Sockets (Topaz)
Gloves: INT / CDR / CHC / CHD
Bracer: Fire% / INT / VIT / CHC
Belt: INT / VIT / Life% / +Armor
Legs: INT / VIT / +Armor / Sockets (Topaz)
Feet: INT / VIT / +Armor / AR or MS
Ring1: CDR or +Avg Dmg or INT / CHC / CHD / Socket
Ring2: CDR or +Avg Dmg or INT / CHC / CHD / Socket
Weapon: INT / CDR / Dmg% / Socket (Emerald)
Offhand: INT / CHC / %EB / CDR or APoC

~50% CDR is required minimum. In short, this is due to having to reduce the remaining cooldown of Teleport while In-Geom is active (11s-10s=1s*50%=.5s=Teleport's ICD).

I use the numlock method. With prism, and the gap this method introduces between EB cooldowns, I don't have any issues with AP. If you are having issues, slot APoC on source.

Secondary Affixes that are desired:
+Single Resistance
+Pickup (Globe) Radius

Build Guide

This build is tuned for solo GR gem leveling @ GR1-50.

-----

Here are several recommendations that will help boost the build's potential:

High paragon (I'd imagine 700+)
Mostly ancient items (7+)
Augmentations (gem level 50+)
Gems worn @ level 60+ (or capped at 50).

-----

Possible Swaps:

For more defense consider the following:

Swap out PE for Esoteric.
Swap Cosmic Strand for OID.
Swap Audacity or Evocation for Unstable Anomaly.

For more DoT swap out Wreath of Lightning for Toxin.
WoL for Powerful if more direct damage is desired.
