Build Overview

This build relies only on the damage from Dust Devils. The Earthquakes are only used to buff Dust Devil damage. It is designed to clear Torment 4 overworld activities such as Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, The Undercity and more. This will not work well for Torment 4 Bosses and will not push much higher in the Pits than about Tier 80 to Tier 85.

How it Plays

  • 1) Start with Rallying Cry to generate fury from Tibault's Will
  • 2) Use Whirlwind and hold down the key-bind for it.
  • 3) Use Shouts should not be used all at once. Guttural Yell in your Skill Tree reduces damage that
    enemies do when they are effected by Shouts.
  • 4) Do not spam Whirlwind make sure there are monsters around that you can hit or you will run out of Fury.
    Fury is generated through Glyphs, Abilities, and Taking Damage

How it Works

Build Overview

This build will be running on a Dual Wield set up. That means both your One-handed weapons will be selected for Whirlwind. You will need to have one Sword and one Mace in order to take advantage of your Skill Points.

Offense

  • Dust Devils will be your main source of damage with this build and will be generated from Whirlwind and Shouts.
  • Many sources of your damage will rely on having a lot of resource generation.
  • Resource Generators: Rallying Cry, Wrath of the Berserker
  • Dust Devil's Aspect will cause Whirlwind to generate Dust Devils
  • Aspect of Fierce Winds will cause your Shouts to generate Dust Devils
  • Devilish Aspect will form a Dust Devil every time you spend 100 Fury
  • Vehement Brawler's Aspect gives you damage whenever you cast your ultimate skill.
  • Aspect of Earthquakes will give you additional damage for your Dust Devils when you stand inside of an Earthquake and for 4 seconds after you leave that Earthquake.

Gear Set-up

Uniques

  • Fists of Fate offers you a source of Vulnerable damage and a big increase to your damage.
  • Tibault's Will is both offensive and defensive at the same time. It does provide Damage Reduction as well as the Unique Aspect gives you increased damage whenever you become Unstoppable. You'll gain the Unstoppable buff from Wrath of the Berserker, Iron Skin and Rallying Cry. This damage increase lasts for the entire duration of your Unstoppable buff, and then stays active for 5 seconds after. This also restores 50 Fury every time you use it while you are NOT Unstoppable. If you are already Unstoppable and you use and ability that grants Unstoppable it does not restore and Fury.
  • Ramaladni's Magnum Opus is an incredibly strong unique if build correctly. It increases your damage by up to .5% per point of Fury you have. The Unique Aspect is the most important part of this weapon, followed by the Maximum Resources. On build that get close to 400 Fury this weapon offers 200% increased damage.

Mythic Uniques

  • Heir of Perdition is a big source of damage, Movement Speed, Lucky Hit Chance and Critical Strike Chance.
  • Ring of Starless Skies adds damage to all of your abilities after you spend primary resources.
  • The Grandfather has a Unique Aspect that doubles your Critical Strike Damage bonus. More importantly for this build it gives very high Maximum Resources. That will help scale your damage from Ramaladni's Magnum Opus. It's a great source of Max Life and the All Stats play a huge role in activating your Paragon Nodes.
