Build Overview

The STAT Stacking RITUALIST - amazing mapper for farming using THREE Whirling Slash each focused on buffs, debuffs and damage

Strengths and Weaknesses

AoE Clear
Speed
Single target (with good rings)

Can be squishy (depends on items and setup)

Build Variants

This version runs Malice aura from Sceptre which also helps having very important Auras. Can use Lycosidae for more Attack speed (Falcon Dive) or even Sunsplinter if you decide to go with Trinity

Equipment

Set 1

Set 2

Equipment Priority

+10

Stats - ES/Evasion base gear

Armor - life, resistances, evasion / energy shield, attributes

Helm - Black Sun Crest

Boots - movement speed, life, res, attributes

Gloves - flat damage (fire and lightning best), attack speed or melee skills, life, resistances, attributes - Hand of Wisdom and Action BiS

Belt - stun threshold helps a ton, life, resistances, attributes - good Ingenuity BiS

Rings - flat damage is MASSIVE Damage boost since we can use 3 rings, resistances, attributes

Rarity - don't think it helps much, it seems player rarity isn't worth it as much so try to get Rarity on maps instead which works

Weapon - Tangletongue with as high Crit chance as possible - corrupt with extra socket or flat lightning/attack speed

Sceptre - intelligence, strength, mana, spirit, presence/mana regen - Sacred Flame BiS

Jewels

Crit damage, Crit chance, attack speed, elemental damage, evasion, energy shield - any of these combinations

Annoint

I personally like Vulgar Methods for big crit chance and also Strength = life but if you have jewels with crit and good rolled Tangletongue you are free to take anything you like.

Skill Gems

Support Gem Requirements:

Str 55

Dex 55

Int 40

Expand all

Whirling Slash

Primal Strikes

Cast on Critical

Thunderous Leap

Herald of Thunder

Wind Dancer

Herald of Ash

Berserk

Gem Priority

+29

Toggle Herald of Ash off and Cast on Critical on for Single target Boss fights to apply Sniper's Mark for extra crit damage but also break armor through Single Out.

Another option instead of Cast on Critical is Trinity slotted with Fire Mastery Cold Mastery and Lightning Mastery but you would need MASSIVE flat Cold and Fire damage on rings to proc all elements.

You can swap Herald of Ash for Ghost Dance if you want more survivability as AoE is already pretty juicy.

Passive Tree

main:

123

set 1:

set 2:

Defensive passives are up to you whether you want more or less depending on your gear and setup but I find this combination so far the sweet spot.

Atlas Tree

Big fan of Research strongboxes ever since the Loot buff patch. Exiles aren't as good so you are free to spec into Spirits. (I just cba waiting for them to possess a rare which I often times kill first unknowingly)

How it Plays

1. Whirling Slash - use the one that has AoE support gems first (once)

2. Whirling Slash - your main one with damage gems is for spamming which will expand AoE to the max from 1.

3. Primal Strikes - single target damage ability that consumes shock which you easily apply from 2.

4. Thunderous Leap - ALWAYS use FIRST spawns Shocking Leap on crit that makes our Slash lightning infused so use 1. right after this

How it Works

Thunderous Leap creates Shocked ground from Shocking Leap on crit which infuses our Whirling Slash to easily apply Shock debuff and just give a nice damage increase.

Whirling Slash with AoE support gems needs to be used only once as its AoE is expanded to the max even with spamming your main Whirling Slash (the one with Martial Tempo)

Stacking Attack speed is quite important because the more AS you have the faster you are. Movement speed is basically not needed as much.
