Build Variants

1-136 | Early Endgame Bloodsurge + Bloodwave

136-219 | T10 Bloodwave Swap

219-300 | T12 Mythic

Early on your want to use a combo of Bloodsurge + Bloodwave until you find yourself a Kessime's Legacy and have Essence per Sec on your boots and on your chest. If you already have Tyrael's Might, use it and look for Kessime's Legacy with Essence per Sec. Otherwise, upgrade your boots and target masterwork Essence per Sec to at least 7/sec. You can get away with 1 Lucky hit to restore primary resource temper on your rings, but it needs to be a high roll and you need 10/essence per sec from your gear. I still recommend 2, so you never run out of essence.

Kessime's Legacy is farmed from Andariel.

Requirements to switch to the God of Blood(wave):

10/sec essence on gear
2x lucky hit to restore primary resource at 15 or higher on your rings
at least 25% resource cost reduction on your rings/gear, later, you will run a Ring of Starless Skies

Grab all Legendary Nodes first. This will take 136 points which is the most crucial step, once you have the base, you can start expanding into glpyhs. Start by satisfying the bonus condition, later start by maxing the bonus each node provides.

How it Plays

Cast Blood Surge for damage since you probably won´t be able to purely run on Blood Wave. Weave in Blood Wave for Overpower stacks.

Use Iron Maiden to restore essence and make sure Gift of Death Skeleton Mage is active at all times. For this you need Litany of Death Skeleton Warrior to summon a priest to heal you minions consistently.

Decrepify is cast by your rune setup.

Later we will use Blood Mist and Sever for mobility and nuke enemies with Blood Wave.
