[0.5] DRAGON Monk Wyvern Build - (Fast T3 Pinnacles / Explosions / All Content)

❗ If Berserk is on, you NEED to have at least 1 FLAT life regeneration on ANY of your items: helmet, boots or rings. Otherwise you will be DYING.

ANY Flat life regeneration higher than 1 will work.

▸ Boss rotation

In order to kill bosses in one tap, we need to make sure that our Oil Barrage is going to crit and is going to be empowered. If it will not crit and won't be empowered, it will deal very low damage.

• First we use Entangle in the 2nd Weapon set together with Effigy of Cruelty.
• Once the boss spawns, we Rend it 4-5 times to stack combo on Pounce
• Then we Pounce to get Power charges. Ideally we get at least 2.
• Cast Oil Barrage.

If your gear is not too good, you might run into an issue that your initial Oil Barrage doesn't crit even with such setup. In this case just repeat, fortunately stacking charges is very easy in this setup.

▸ How to Explode Screens

To explode screens, we use Herald of Ice together with armour break combination to achieve something close to Herald explosion chains. In order to do it, we need a source of stable freeze.

Since Rend is mostly a lightning attack in its empowered version, we use Embitter to make sure that al sources of extra damage for Rend become cold damage instead. Combined with Bhatair's Vengeance we also get extra 40% Cold damage when we freeze - which happens constantly with this setup.

❗If your Herald of Ice doesn't explode in this setup, check the map modifiers: 60% Enemy Ailment Threshold will make explosions less frequent and at 100%+ the explosions will stop functioning.

It's not a big issue, since we have Melee Splash instilled on the amulet anyway. We can still run such maps, but it becomes less pleasant.

▸ Possible Replacement for Convalescence

If you believe that your survivabiliy and sustain is enough, you can swap Convalescence with Savage Fury for bosses. Personally, I don't find it necessary, since we're killing T3 almost instantly anyway and it will only require us Rend the boss for longer to stack up the Fury.

▸ If you don't have enough Spirit

Apart from the 100 Spirit that you get in the Campaign, the rest will be coming from the Invoker passive Lead me through Grace.... You need to get good items with as high Energy Shield as you can to get the 230+ Spirit.

The mandatory Auras are Herald of Ice, Eternal Rage and Charge Regulation, so if you don't have enough Spirit for the rest, get these 3 and then one that you need at the given moment: Berserk for damage and Convalescence for sustain and survivability.

▸ Gem Levels

If you don't have extra stats on your gear, it's very likely that you will not have enough Strength or Dexterity to get high level auras like Berserk, Eternal Rage or Charge Regulation. In this case, get as low level auras as you can, roughly level 14.
