This is the flashiest build I've ever made and I mean that literally. EPILEPSY WARNING. xD

Purify is a skill that most people overlook because it doesn't have built in damage. But with the Absolution variant and Echo Purify it can be turned into a powerful AoE flashbang! And since we're lowering our cooldown to the maximum anyways, we also get insane mobility from Falling Star.

  • Check additional tabs for Mid-Game and End-Game variations of the build.
  • The loot filter on the right will help you spot the important items for the build and even some other items that can work until you get what you need!

Oaths
  • Purify is the main damage skill in the build and will be spammed constantly to kill enemies and apply Vulnerable.
  • Spear of the Heavens deals damage but also counts as additional targets to reset the Purify Cooldown.
  • Holy Light Aura applies Judgement to enemies which is important for damage scaling with Berú of Radiant Fire and Judicator.
  • The goal is to always fight inside Fortress which gives 4%[x] damage per stack of Resolve.
  • Falling Star gives insane mobility and allows jumping over gaps.
  • Fanaticism Aura offers passive Critical Strike Chance, Attack Speed, and Critical Strike Damage.
  • Defiance Aura can be used instead of Fanaticism Aura if you need survivability but I would swap Gar Rune for Que Rune before doing this.

Important Notes

  • You can use Heir of Perdition as soon as you have it.
  • For insane survivability you can use Que Rune.
  • Optimized cooldown is not required to use the build but it will make it feel much smoother.
  • For gear cooldown affixes I'm recommending 16%(GA+Masterworked affix) and 9%(GA Temper) on each ring plus 12%(GA affix) on the shield and some on the helmet when possible.

Important Notes

  • Prioritize getting all Legendary Nodes before all else. Example: Relentless
  • Prioritize all Glyphs to level 15 before going higher unless you cannot equip the next Glyph yet.
  • Prioritize all Glyphs to level 50 before going higher on any.

Glyph Leveling Order

  1. Resplendence until you hit 75% Cooldown Reduction in the stat sheet.
  2. Judicator
  3. Spirit
  4. Canny
  5. Sentinel is the most important Glyph in terms of damage but you gain less from leveling it than the others after you've gotten the bonus.

How it Plays

Skill Rotations

  1. Use Fortress to very quickly build Resolve stacks and increase damage.
  2. Leap into a pile of enemies with Falling Star.
  3. Activate Fortress again after moving to keep the damage bonus and Unstoppable active.
  4. Use Holy Light Aura's active to Judge enemies which will continue to spread between them. Do this again off cooldown.
  5. Drop Spear of the Heavens onto enemies for damage but also because each spear counts as an enemy for Echo Purify.
  6. Spam Purify to kill everything.
  7. Don't forget to move every two seconds to activate Relentless for lower cooldown and more damage.
  8. If any skill is on cooldown you can activate any Aura skill to reduce cooldowns by two seconds with Resplendence.
  • Fanaticism Aura is passive but can be used to apply Weaken.
  • Defiance Aura is used in the End-Game setup if you don't need mobility and is also passive but can be used for cooldown or Unstoppable as needed.

How it Works

Main Synergies

This build utilizes various synergies around Judicator, Justice, Holy, Judgement, and Cooldown Reduction.

  • It is necessary to get Cooldown Reduction maxed out to 75% for this build to function smoothly.
  • This is achieved by utilizing various sources of cooldown:
    Relentless board with Resplendence
    16% from 3 pieces of gear with GA Cooldown Reduction and the Masterwork bonus
    9% Cooldown Reduction on both rings
    Cooldown Reduction Purify
  • Fortress scales our damage by a ton based on Resolve stacks and we can use it almost constantly due to our max cooldown.
  • Aspect of Interdiction gives us max Block chance from Resolve stacking which scales Shield Bearer while offering an additional defensive layer.
  • Maxing out our Block chance means that we can utilize Aspect of Redirected Force for a very large multiplier.
  • Aspect of Glynn's Anvil also scales survivability by giving a huge amount of Damage Reduction based on Resolve stacks.

End-Game Synergies

  • Due to the fact that we're spamming cooldown abilities, we're able to freeze enemies constantly with Thul which allows us to get great results from Signet of Pelghain which scales endlessly.
  • Using a Chance to Freeze affix on our Charms means that this will also work on bosses!
