Build Guide

bounty only build:

- no in-geom, so no elite hunting

- with mobs around reset archon, almost during the global cooldown -> alternate between AT:SD and Teleport.

- with no mobs around, still unlimitied movement -> calamity helps resetting archon AND stack chantodo during that time.

- in kill bounties you can teleport to next bounty even before you finished off the last few mobs (because of chantodo)

if executed perfectly this build is competing for the fastest bounty build around. Even MS dhs and WoL monks having a hard time keeping up.
