Ring of Royal Grandeur

Head: INT / VIT / CHC / Socket (Diamond)
Shoulder: INT / RCR / CDR / %EB
Amulet: Fire% / CHC / CHD / Socket
Chest: INT / VIT / +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 / AR / +Armor
Rings: CDR / CHC / CHD / Socket
Weapon: %Dmg / INT or LoH / CDR / Socket (Emerald)
Offhand: INT / EB% / CHC / RCR or APoC

** Secondary stats: +pickup radius, +CC resistance, +Single Resistance, +%Gold Find.
** On pickup radius: +8 is recommended as a minimum, more will be better though in case you don't have the Fleeting Shrine buff, or if opting to slot Nemesis in the cube.
** At least one RCR or APoC roll recommended between shoulder and offhand (required if you are casting precisely on cooldown). I prefer both to give some allowance to cast Black hole at will. EB% is also an adequate option for source, though you may have to slightly decrease your casting rate, depending on your method of autocast.
** 50% CDR required minimum to reduce the cooldown on Teleport below .5s when in-geom is active.
** 55.84% CDR is the recommended minimum amount of CDR.
** Life on Hit is also a good affix in place of INT on weapon, if you don't happen to have the listed weapon affixes, or just prefer more recovery.
**My preference is to have In-Geom at 10s rather than a perfectly rolled legendary multiplier on the woh. However, this being more of an end-game build (even though I display lower paragon clears in the video), I've placed In-Geom (ancient) as worn, and woh as cubed. These can easily swapped, for example, if you get a primal ancient wand of woh, or just a significantly better rolled wand of woh.

Build Guide

It's back! Nothing is better than what is familiar, and this build is just that. A reboot of the core EB build, now optimized for TXIII in 2.6.1. One of the great things about 2.6.1 is the buff to defense on OID. This will now stack up to 80% DR, this means we no longer need Goldwrap for defense. It does however make you vulnerable to heavy hitting attacks such as multiple molten explosions or grotesques, so keep an eye out for those.

Wand of Woh also received a 400% multiplier, making this build more viable than it has ever been.

In-Geom gives mobility, and damage by reducing cooldowns on EB and Teleport. Prism allows for resource and defense, and scales with the cooldown of EB, which is nice. This also keeps up your Krelm's bonus.

Supermassive for crowd control (great for ranged elite packs!). Calamity and Glacial Spike for on demand stun. Proc F&R with Glacial Spike.

Damage multipliers include: Tal6, Wand of Woh, Trapped, Orb of Infinite Depth, F&R, and Audacity. For defense, we use the aforementioned OID.

We use frost nova in the build, since it's likely the best option for damage increase with the bone chill rune. With in-geom up, you'll be spamming this constantly, and freezing your enemies.

Use Numlock or Scripting to cast FN, DS, and EB on cooldown.

Warzechians, Illusionist, Wreath of Lightning, Krelm's Belt, and Hoarder provide the core run speed for the build, keeping it light and fast paced. Wreath will sometimes break breakables for you, proccing the Warzechians.

Gloves of worship allow us to keep our shrine effects for up to 10 minutes (great for the Fleeting buff, which gives us a large pickup radius, and 25% extra run speed). Empowered shrine is also a nice buff for helping you get back on your feet in the case In-Geom goes down.

Homing Pads for quick port back to town, you shouldn't have to worry about clearing the screen too much after killing the RG.

-----

Swaps:

I keep Nemesis on swap most of the time, however, you can wear these instead if preferred. Replace Gloves of Worship.
Bane of the Powerful (swap out Wreath of Lightning) - this will give more damage if you require that.
Greater Rifting: For quick low GR speed runs - replace gloves of worship with Nemesis in the cube. Replace Hoarder with Powerful.
For higher DBs, Sages is an option, but I do feel it detracts from the bulid significantly. Swap in 2 pieces of Sages, wear Tal belt. Swap out Illusory boots, and one of: Krelm's or Gloves of Worship.
