Build Overview
This
Rake Spiritborn focuses on optimising the Damage from the
Rod of Kepeleke in combination with the
Aspect of Wild Claws whilst staying tanky enough to beat all End Game Content. It does this through the following:
- The
Rod of Kepeleke allows
Rake to be a Basic and Core skill. - Doubles Each Instance of
Rake with the
Aspect of Wild Claws. - Utilising the Three Spirit Halls,
Gorilla,
Jaguar and
Eagle via the
Harmony of Ebewaka.
Counterattack for 100% Dodge Chance in combat.- 100% Block Chance using
Armored Hide.
Scourge for Crowd Control and up to 50% Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies.
The Protector for incredible Utility including the Pull In from the
Hesha e Kesungi.- Maxing Attack Speed through Aspects, Equipment, Paragon and Ferocity.
- Barrier for extreme tankiness.
Check out the In-Depth Explanations below for further details on the build.
Extra Details
This build has currently done a Tower 110 in ~8m 30s with Zero Mythic Sanctifications so it will easily go Tower 115+ if you land a
Ring of Starless Skies Sanctification (2H),
The Grandfather Sanctification and manage to put the Double
Melted Heart of Selig Tech together, potentially higher.
With the correct gear this build this will easily beat all the Hardest Content In The Game without issue.

How much Resource Generation Do I need?
With the introduction of Season 11 and the reduction of Resource Generation Sources across the board it has now become more difficult to enable you to activate the
Rod of Kepeleke on Every Single Hit which is where our Big Damage comes from.
The Easiest way to achieve this is to use the
Ring of the Midnight Sun which escaped the Resource Source Nerfs and can still Restore 50% Resource Spent in the Last 2 Seconds on a Critical Strike. The pairs excellently with the
Rod of Kepeleke because this will spend 100% when at Maximum Resource to guarantee a Critical Strike.
This means that we need to achieve 100% Resource Generation on the build along with a Maximum Rolled
Ring of the Midnight Sun at 50% to enable a 100% Activation Rate when attacking with the
Rod of Kepeleke.
For the later versions we opt not to use the
Ring of the Midnight Sun in favour of More Damage from Legendary Aspects and we try to make up the difference through Tempers and Glyphs.
You can obtain the Resource Generation required from various sources including:
- Intelligence
- Resource Generation Tempers
- Lucky Hit: Resource Tempers
Vigorous
Measured Ravager
Fitness
Shroud of False Death
Melted Heart of Selig
Starlight Aspect + Life per Second + Life on Hit
How Much Attack Speed Do I Need?
Aim for 164% Attack Speed on Equipment, Aspects, Paragon, Mercenaries, Elixirs, Ferocity and Key Passives.
You can only attain Attack Speed in Attack Speed Bucket 2 via Ferocity and
Adaptive Stances if using a
Jaguar Skill so we prioritise Ferocity where we can.
We achieve this through Casting
Rake which is the only Core Skill that allows us to natively generate Ferocity.
How Does The Double Melted Heart Tech Work In The Pushing Variant?
So this is an ultra gear requirement tech that without ALL of the pieces will probably feel awful to play.
The aim is to equip the
Melted Heart of Selig along with having it Sanctified somewhere which essentially Quadruples your Maximum Resource and makes it your life source the cost of bringing your Maximum Life down by 75% Twice granting you insanely Low Life.
This seems very bad on the surface but what it unlocks the ability to do is with the
Starlight Aspect equipped we can create a vast amount of Automatic and On Hit Vigor Generation due to being able to Overheal by 120% so easily because our Maximum Life is now so low.
We stack Life per 5 Second on both our Rings and Boots because the more healing potential we have the better.
This then converts into a bulk of Primary Resource which is multiplied up by our now insanely high Resource Generation due to having the
Melted Heart of Selig equipped as well as many ranks into
Vigorous,
Measured Ravager and
Reinforced Scourge.
With all the correct pieces, not only will you see your Maximum Resource scale upwards of 1000+ Vigor you will cap out your
Aspect of Adaptability, stack a huge amount of damage on your
Rod of Kepeleke and fill our Maximum Resource virtually on demand both in and out of combat.
Note: This REQUIRES the
Melted Heart of Selig to be Equipped and Sanctified as well as having the
Starlight Aspect Sanctified on a Ring.
It will not work well without these so don't try until this as you will be ultra squishy!
