Indeed it does, apologies for the confusion - I have sent a small fix. The correct item, as the Gear page states, is Halo of Karini (so a jewelry combo of Unity, Halo of Karini and Convention of Elements, where you wear your two best rolls and cube the worse rolled ring).

Thanks for the guide. Is there a speed farming variation of this build available e.g. with teleport?

There's another LoD build out there that uses Arcane Orbit, it's pretty entertaining.  It seems to be a variant of this build, is that something which would be worth the time to write up?

Thanks =)

What would be recommend for this build for a non season character? Sense they don’t have the 4th cube slot is it worth it to keep a channeling skill?

I'll look into it! It's funny, since we've had a DMO Orbit variant forever, and this LoD is probably an offshoot of that.

Nope, in a NS build I'd definitely drop the channeling skill and use a reliable movement skill in the form of Teleport (either with Wormhole or Safe Passage ).

Hello! I just started using this great build but I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how long the Deathwish buff lasts since it does not appear on my buff list. How long does the damage buff from deathwish last? 

Thanks for your time.

The buff drops off almost immediately after you stop using your channeling spell, so you need to do an admittedly annoying playstyle of channeling for a brief second, then tossing out a Frozen Orb, repositioning if necessary, then channeling again. It's completely understandable if this is not an appealing option, and you can viably alternate to a more generic damage bonus like The Furnace.

I've been trying to figure this out but I can't seem to understand it... why Tasker and Theo for a LoD FO?

exactly my thoughts, this doesn't make sense to me and it leads me to believe that other things are not correct either.

Hey - just letting you know it's a pasting error from the guide's LoD Hydra sister guide; the correct recommendation for the slot is, quite logically, Frostburn and it will be up on the website shortly. I checked the rest of the recommendations and they are in order. Apologies for the confusion.
