This build is FASTER THAN SHRED for Torment 12+ speed farming!

This build uses Storm Strike to eviscerate targets while damaging nearby enemies with chains of lightning and Lightning Storm. You can endlessly teleport without even needing enemies to target!

  • Check my video for the correct way to set up controls to achieve this!
  • Check additional tabs for alternate variations of the build.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • INCREDIBLY FAST
  • INSANE SURVIVABILITY
  • Tons of Damage
  • Solid AoE
  • Easy to Play
  • Flashy
  • Torment 12+
  • Pit 135+
  • Works best with Berú of the Storm Shepherd but can still function fairly well without it.
  • Speed setup requires Seal of the Diamond Mind to get the flicker dashing and does less damage but still clears T12 Mephisto.

Build Variants

This version of the build will be your BEST ALL AROUND SETUP for 90% of content.

  • This version does not allow for dashing like the ⚡ Speed variations, but this version has higher DPS.
  • This is the best boss killing setup.
  • If you are short on anything be sure to read the additional information written below each section for alternatives.

  • Prioritize all Glyphs to level 50 before going higher on any.

  2. Fulminate
  3. Earth and Sky

  5. Keeper

Mercenaries

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why am I squishy?

A: Survivability is all about stacking multiple layers of damage mitigation and sustain. You want Maximum Life on every piece of gear because it prevents one shots and your Barrier from Earthen Bulwark scales with Maximum Life. The build has great healing built in, so focus on reducing damage taken by stacking All Elemental Resistances and Armor. The Gems on jewelry are very high value to prevent the worst types of damage. Be sure to make sure you get Damage Reduction items and Aspects as recommended in the guide or alternatives listed below them.

If you have additional questions or think I should add something here, let me know on my Twitch stream or in the Discord.

Changelog

  • Changed speed naming structure since the ranged variant of Storm Strike works for controller.
  • Overhaul to make different variations easier to follow. Balanced is the strongest all around in most content and pushing will specifically be best for only that. Early game will be easier to setup.
  • Improved the Speed Controller tab and Speed KBM tab.
  • Added tab for controller users to be able to use the speed setup better.
  • Changed Paingorger's Gauntlets to Dark Howl since Paingorger's Gauntlets was only working for the 1st hit of the chain with Storm Strike.
  • Removed this from the Lightning God build to simplify things.
  • Season 14
