Introduction

While Manald Heal's Greater Rift pushing capabilities are undeniable with Archon variants, this proc-based monstrosity of a ring spawns several viable non-Archon offshoots as well. The guide explains in detail several pure Tal Rasha set variations with a focus on lightning spells: a Greater Rift solo progression build (the present one), an Electrocute endgame farming build (see link below), and a Spectral Blade endgame farming build (see link below).
