Build Overview
This 
Crushing Hand Spiritborn focuses on optimising the Damage from the 
Rod of Kepeleke in combination with the 
Unrelenting Aspect whilst staying tanky enough to beat all End Game Content. It does this through the following:
- The Rod of Kepeleke allows Crushing Hand to be a Basic and Core skill.
- Omni-Directional Burst of Damage from the Unrelenting Aspect.
- 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 Hunter for Mobility and Ferocity Overstacking.- Maxing Attack Speed through Aspects, Equipment, Paragon and Ferocity.
- Barrier for extreme tankiness.

Extra Details
This build went to Pit 95+ in the Season 11 PTR. This was achieved at Paragon Level 200 - 220 with Decent Equipment, Maxed Glyphs and Zero Sanctifications.
We have been told the Pit Scaling will be reduced when Season 11 drops and that All Builds will go about 5 - 10 Pit Levels higher so this build should get to Pit 100+ easily enough.
The following parts of the build changed for Season 11:
- Jaguar Primary Spirit Hall functions differently and now provides up to 15%[x] Damage and an Additional Beast Strike that scales exponentially by Weapon Damage (Squared).
With the correct gear this build should 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 very 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.
You can obtain the Resource Generation required from various sources including:
- Intelligence
- Resource Generation Tempers
Vigorous
Measured Ravager
Shroud of False Death
Melted Heart of Selig
How Much Attack Speed Do I Need?
Aim for 100% Attack Speed on Equipment, Aspects, Paragon, Mercenaries and Elixirs.
You can also attain Attack Speed in Attack Speed Bucket 2 via Ferocity which we generate with The Hunter because this Overstacks by +2 Ferocity Stacks, resetting them to Maximum at the same time.
Why Do We Use The Hunter Until The Sanctification Variant?
We use The Hunter instead of 
The Protector up until the Sanctification Variant because The Protector isn't worth taking unless we also have the 
Hesha e Kesungi equipped which only makes sense to do once if it isn't at the cost of the Offensive Aspects Aspect of Unyielding Hits, 
Aspect of Adaptability and Unrelenting Aspect.
These are all either Required for the build to function properly or grant Significantly More Damage than the Hesha e Kesungi does in the early stages. If you get lucky and roll one of the Above Aspects as a Santification then we can go ahead and Swap Our Gloves, Swap Spirit Halls and change The Hunter for The Protector.
Why Do We Swap To The Protector?
In the Sanctification Variant we swap to use the The Protector because we can gain access to all the relevant aspects whilst gaining the benefits of the Hesha e Kesungi.
This also allows us to swap the 
Igni + 
Kry Rune combination for something like Cir + Vex or Tam + Ohm.
Why Do We Swap Spirit Halls?
In the Sanctification Variant we swap to using the Eagle Primary Spirit Hall and the Jaguar Secondary Spirit Hall as this then allows us access to Lucky Vulnerable on Hit, Extra Movement Speed, Ferocity Generation and most importantly we can look to slot on the Hesha e Kesungi which works in tandem with The Protector.
Note: This requires a Hesha e Kesungi with one of the key Offensive Aspects Sanctified on it for this to function correctly.
