Great post! This information will help greatly when farming gear for season 5 and leaves no question on what gear we will need and the stats. Will really help streamline that process.
So I have a question for you about Wreath of Lightning. Would it be more beneficial to run the wreath over Pain Enhancer due to the 25% movement speed bonus? Granted this is for a little lower rift than what you run, as well as group play not solo.
I have looked at the scaling for both, while Pain Enhancer starts out with a higher % damage done, Wreath of Lightning scales better in the long run giving you more damage per second. Wreath of Lightning ticks ever second, where as Pain Enhancer puts on a 3 second bleed. I tested the Wreath myself to see what the up time was on it, and I never saw it fall off when I was in a good rift with mob density, I always had lightning shooting out hitting things.
For higher GR you need focus+restraint. Wreath of lightning is only for speed rifts and bounties I suppose if you don't need toughness from Esoteric you can use Wreath but pain enhancer has no place in this build worked well with the old Reakor though
REALLY dumb question: For the weapon you say %DMG, Str, Vit, Socket (IK Boulder Breaker FC Grift) - or soemthing along those lines. Do I really remove the weapon damage in favor of %dmg?
I'm a pretty pedantic individual, so even though this seems like something nobody would ever do, I still read the advice quite literally.

Hi Chainer,
Do you have/use a separate death's breath farming build with the Sage crafted set?
I found that the drop rate of Pride of Cassius is a bit low.
Since from start play to now, my paragon level is 55X, didn't get the Pride of Cassius belt.
Gamble Kadala for belts, use all yellow mighty belts to upgrade to Legendary with Cube and rinse repeat until Cassius pops.
What gem would you all recommend for non-season in place of the Bane of the Stricken? Using Chainers GR70 WW build.

What? Me worry?
Could use the gear stats for the zdps crafted gear
Hey Chainer,
I'm still confused about the best roll for IK Helm for HotA.
If you had a helm that dropped like this, what would you roll on it?

Is str/vit/hota, str/vit/cc, or str/cc/hota best?
I just started playing HotA three days ago, so I only have one other ancient IK piece (boots).
Thanks!
Great update. Thanks for the cool info.
A quick question. Is a MotE build viable? I just like to jump and create EQs.
Thanks,
Nice post. I wish the WD community had a quality contribution such as this.
Updated for 2.4
Thanks!!

on which build are you referring to?
The FC build is what I was wondering about. 6IK/4RK is the build I am using. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Bloudd-1602/hero/70495406 that is the link to the character and build that I am working with.
