Introduction

Rank 3# Build on Tower, not sure who came up with it, I copied the build for now but I can see it can be optimized more, and I'll work on it in the next few days. Looks like an interesting build to fiddle with.

This build uses Rabies: Superinfection, turning Rabies into a Core skill with no cooldown and a Spirit cost. It is a very simple build. No complicated mechanics. You cast a Core skill, and you generate resources to cover the Spirit drain.

We generate Spirit mainly with Tibault's Will. That makes it the only core item in the build. For this item to work it needs to be played in combination with the rune Que granting us Unstoppable via Earthen Bulwark

It is very chill to play, and very mobile thanks to the Enigma chest. It is also fairly tanky.

One of the best parts is that it does not need Critical Strike Chance. That makes it a very good starter build.

Important Note

Might of the Ursine and Stone of Jordan either of them can be a Charm, so if you have Mythic ring, you can use a Stone of Jordan charm and viceversa.

Core Items

  • Tibault's Will. This is the only item the build needs. It generates Spirit to cover the Spirit drain from Rabies: Superinfection.
  • Ring of Starless Skies. Not required. It is nice. You can replace it with Resource Cost Reduction and Spirit Generation on your boots.

You still need Tibault's Will for the resource generation.

Item Priority

  • Stone of Jordan. Does not have to be Mythic. This is your defensive priority, and it makes gearing easy. You need Poison Resistance on a charm or on your gear so it sets every resist to Poison. That also lets you deal more Poison damage.
  • Amulet. Fairly important. Use a Legendary amulet with Writhing Aspect You need Overcharged Aspect transfigured on the amulet with the current configurations. Read more about why in the FAQ.
  • Leoric's Crown. Best helm choice for Season 15. Gem strength on this item is your best multiplier, and it is also very good defensively.
  • Tibault's Will. Does not need to be Mythic.
  • Arioc's Needle. Hardest item to get. If you craft one item, craft this. In Season 15 it is very difficult to find, so a Mythic version is hard to get.
  • Wildheart Hunger. Massive multiplier. This should be your first real Mythic target.
  • Gloves. Do not chase a Greater Affix here. We use Legendary. Throw gloves at the Horadric Cube until you get a modifiable legendary, ideally with Poison damage or at least Willpower. Then you modify your item with the cube/enchanter and add the aspect/temper. If you don't care to get a good gloves, you can just use any Legendary gloves and add Crushing Aspect.

Stat Priority

Vulnerable Damage and Damage over Time are your biggest multipliers.

Poison Damage and Willpower are roughly equal.

The build does not need Critical Strike Chance.

I suggest one Armor roll. Maximum Life is generally more defense than the damage you gain from Willpower.

If you want full damage, you can go glass cannon and take Willpower over Maximum Life. I would still keep Maximum Life on rings and weapons. You can skip it on the amulet and gloves. Offensive stats are better on those slots, and Maximum Life does not scale as well there.

Where They Drop

  • Tibault's Will: General Unique pool. Any Lair Boss. No dedicated boss.
  • Ring of Starless Skies: Mythic. Any Lair Boss. Belial is the best farm.
  • Stone of Jordan: Legacy Unique. Waking Nightmare bosses and general endgame loot.
  • Leoric's Crown: Legacy Unique. Waking Nightmare bosses and general endgame loot.
  • Arioc's Needle: Legacy Unique. Baal. General loot, Waking Nightmare, and the Cube. This is the one to craft.
  • Wildheart Hunger: Astaroth. First Mythic to target.
  • Enigma: Does not drop. Craft it in the Horadric Cube with Jah + Ith + Ber on a chest.

Runes

The runes are set.

Mal + Lo gives you 25% Deadly Strike. Deadly Strike is a special type of Critical Strike Chance for Damage over Time.

Igni + Que invokes Earthen Bulwark. That is also what grants Unstoppable so Tibault's Will can generate Spirit.

Charm Priority

Top priority is the Old Mountain set.

After that, Ranks to Bear Skills, then Poison Resistance and Physical Resistance.

Unique Charms

We use Seal of the Diamond Mind, and we also abuse the Seal of the Golden Epiphany bug so we can run an extra Mythic charm.

Unique charms:

  • The Furnace
  • Might of the Ursine
  • Hellfire Torch with the Old Mountain set bonus

How the Bug Works

Install your three Unique charms with Seal of the Golden Epiphany. Hellfire Torch need to be at the bottom.

After the three Unique charms are in, remove Seal of the Golden Epiphany and put in Seal of the Diamond Mind.

That leaves you with the five-piece set bonus plus two Unique charms.

It is a bug, but Blizzard called it legal in a blue post.

  1. Lightning Storm: Hero of the Storm
    Keep this permanently up. With the current amulet configuration, Overcharged Aspect applies Vulnerable to enemies.
  2. Grizzly Rage
    Activate it and keep it up whenever you can. It is okay if it drops.
  3. Rabies: Superinfection
    Cast this as much as you can. This is your main Damage over Time.
  4. Stone Burst
    Cast this once in a while for Resolve stacks. That increases your damage.
  5. Cyclone Armor
    Use this to pull enemies close to you.
  6. Debilitating Roar
    Use this on cooldown to reduce enemy damage.

Paragon Board

Glyphs and Paragon Priority

If you do not have high level glyphs, or if you are low Paragon, skip everything else and just take the Legendary nodes.

Glyph level priority:

  1. Tracker
  2. Bane
  3. Fang and Claw

Mercenaries

I run Subo because he gives map hack.

I use Varyana as the secondary mercenary because she gives Attack Speed.

If you are playing the Tower and you feel squishy, you can use Raheir for resistances. You should not need it with Stone of Jordan. He also gives you the most damage.

You can also use Aldkin for less damage taken.

My Mercenary setup is for QOL not optimized for Damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have resource problems. How do I fix it?

Ring of Starless Skies with Tibault's Will should generally be enough.

We also use the Gift of the Stag Spirit boon for Spirit per second. On the wolf boons, use Energize for a chance to generate more Spirit.

If that is not enough, put Spirit Generation on your boots and Resource Cost Reduction on both rings.

If you still have problems, you are probably not proccing Unstoppable from the Que rune. Then Tibault's Will never activates.

Which item should I craft?

If you already have an Arioc's Needle, use your crafted slot on Leoric's Crown with gem strength. That is the most powerful item we can get.

Otherwise, transfigure every Arioc's Needle you find and look for a modifiable one with Poison damage. Make that one Mythic. That is the crafted item.

That is how I would min-max this build.

How do I get more tanky?

Put Maximum Life on your amulet and gloves as well.

You can also use Endurant Faith as a charm instead of The Furnace.

Why am I not doing damage?

The most likely reason is that you do not have a Mythic Might of the Ursine charm.

You also need Resolve stacks tempered on your gear, and you need to actually generate those stacks. That is one of our biggest multipliers.

This build has very big multipliers. Missing any Mythic item can be a big deal.
