I think Hellfire Amulet would be a better fit than Hexing Pants for Season 16.  There are already no resource issues with Long Arm of the Law, and the biggest weakness of the build is its' reliance on cheat death for survival.  I think having both Indestructible and Holy Cause would make sustain more reliable.

they said the buff wont be stacked so it will remain the same as before no ?

Doesn't seem to pack enough of a punch past 55 to put things down reliable. Trash dose not seen to advance GR fast enough compare to head hunting. Vulnerable against ever ground effect and lightning.

Im curious to know if anyone has come up with something that suites better than the hexing pants yet.

Are you referring to the build being too weak? If done right you can get up to 90 fairly simple.

Illusory Boots are basically required to get out of trouble.  It's not the toughest build, but you have the best cheat death in the game with the prophet rune.  As far as damage, you might be doing something wrong.  Make sure you keep moving and pulling in enemies with vacuum to proc Strongarms.

The biggest problem is elites; you'll have to skip them a lot after GR 100.  Single target damage sucks, but you make up for it by clearing trash quickly.  Fish for density and good pylons.  A shield pylon for the rift guardian is GG because you can just stick to the boss and stack stricken instead of dancing around.

What is the CDR% that is actually necessary to keep Akarat's champion active?

 

(Edit: I think it's 56% ?)

Use "Elective Mode" on the Gameplay tab of the Options panel. It allows you full customisation of active skills.

Could someone help me join some multiplayer runs? I am very new to the game and gaming in general and I am stuck at the moment. I can clear a level 30 GR in 7-8 mins and haven’t been able to progress for a month.  I also don’t know how to join the multi version - do I need Xbox gold?  Thank you for not ridiculing my complete incompetence here.

[Guest Cdub5298]

So "elective mode" will allow you to use 2 utility abilities? I had same question because provoke and condemn are both utilities. Thanks for the help.

Elective mode removes all restrictions on the abilities you put on your bars. The base setup ensures you have a good variety to try and make sure newer players don't over-invest in specific areas without understanding fully what is needed. With Elective Mode, you could use every utility ability in the same setup, if you wanted to.

I believe you do need Xbox gold, yeah. At least to play multiplayer. As for you being stuck, what is your gear like? This must be a gear issue/you not having all the required pieces.

I have 5 pieces of Akkhan gear + RoRG in the cube, so I have that paired with the Akarat skill. I do have a couple of ancient gear - but you are right, they don’t all work well together to complement each other. I also have all legendary gems.

I tried to post pics of my current set up, but the post is not showing. Do I need to have an account to do that?

Does the slowing effect of Bane of the Trapped proc the Strongarm Bracers?

No, they only work on "Knockback" Effects. Anything that pulls in or pushes away or Knocks Up enemies can be considered as a Knockback. In this patricular build, it's the CondemnVacuum that causes the Bracers to work.

Thank you. Does the knockback have to be done by the wearer of the bracers?

[Guest Ihumpdurmum]

Still sporting focus restraint on this build... so limiting.... S16 is the best season to be using Endless Walk set...  And ditch the hexing pants...pointless.

Yes, either by an active or passive ability or effect. But the damage done increase works for all players in the group. (Since its a Solo pushing build, this might be a little off topic, but i wanted to be clear and thorough.)

• Enemies hit by knockbacks suffer 20-30% increased damage for 6 seconds.

The guide shows having either a 2H blunt or 2H sword AND a shield? Am I missing something?

Heavenly Strength allows you to use both a 2H weapon and a shield at the same time.

Wanting to try this build (first build) but I'm confused by the paragon points tab. I've only played very slimly and some guy dropped me a modded item that increased my paragon to 629. I've deleted that character and want to actually learn this game and play an actual build. How should I go about the paragon points and acquiring the gear?

[HolyRoller77 0]

I've only played very little and when I did I was dropped modded gear that increased my paragon to 629. It made the game not fun and I've hence deleted that character. I want to really learn how to play and play with a build because this is the best build website for D3 that I can find. I'm confused by where to put my paragon points and even where to start on finding this gear. Any help would be appreciated. ?
