So far, the fastest i've done a GR75 was 02:30 minutes but i got lucky with the map (3 shrines, close to one another and 5 bosses with a huge trash mob density) with RoRG instead of CoE and Nemesis Bracers. I got back the Nemesis Bracers' Elite/Champion boost on shrines. Made a few runs with RoRG in the cube, so i can use different Bracers/Pants/Gloves and i got a bit successful with it as well (still in test phase). I was thinking maybe Flavor of Time would be better. I'm curious to see if i can swap CoE with something else, in the cube. I've tried Hack, got a decently rolled ancient one but the damage falls off heavily, compared to Pig, even with the total lack of +STR on it. It's still the best weapon i have for this build, so far. I was a bit unlucky with the weapon, as i got a primal ancient Pig Sticker so i had to roll DEX into STR which i later rolled into health per second. Having all the runes for Punish feels a bit OP, at least for the moment. I'm currently farming GR75 so i can upgrade Boyarsky's, which I never used until now, and it makes a ton of difference. As far as mob clearing goes, there is a huge difference. It does sound to me like an even conversation between the 4 in which you can tweek some gear and gems to incorporate it.Īfter toying with this build for a while, i swapped Nemesis for Angel Hair Braid, in the cube. Or if I had more courage even on high level HC you could replace esoteric if you are good enough from the law, and resist all gems. You don't need BotS or the thorns if you are massacring everything anyway, and would massacre that much quicker. Maybe for regular though, you can replace Esoteric, and maybe for lower level, for farming quickly, you can replace any of the 3. So if you ask me all 3 are necessary for high level and Hardcore. So that only leaves Thorns, which goes real high and can't be changed. On hardcore I'll never let the Esoteric go, I like to push rather than go low level for farming, so BotS is impossible to replace too.

Now i have a Question/conversation starter: What about Gogok of Swiftness? 15% CDR sounds pretty nice to achive permanent Iron Skin, not to mentions the IAS. So most like, you'll want esoteric in place of Stricken at Low grs where you do not hit by the RG health wall, and Trapped at High GRs, when you do. (Looking at you, Arcane enchanted and Molten).

After all, the most dangerous affixes are Elemental.

Moratorium smoothes out damage intake, which synergizes the life on hit self sustain of the build, but quickly gets outclassed by esoteric because moratoriums damage stagger % does not get increased, but esoteric's does with increased gem levels.
